Presentation Guide
A simple guide to your Week 8 and Week 16 presentations — what happens, and how to feel ready.
What happens: you say one sentence about your favorite thing. That's about 30 seconds.
Before you start
🍃
Take 3 slow breaths. In, out. In, out. In, out.
👀
Find a friendly face. Your teacher, or someone smiling.
4 steps to get ready
1
Practice at home. 3 times out loud. Say it to a parent, or to a mirror.
2
Look up, not just at your paper, while you talk.
3
Go slowly. Slow is never wrong.
4
If you forget a word, take one breath. Look at your card. That's okay.
What your teacher does
Kasim listens. He says something kind. He might ask one easy question — like "What color is it?" You can answer in one word.
Everyone feels nervous the first time — even grown-ups. By Week 16, this feels much easier. That's normal.
