What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students plan and deliver a short talk that listeners can follow from beginning to end. They control their voice, pace, pronunciation, eye contact, facial expressions, posture, and gestures to support the message.
What Mastery Looks Like
- A student gives a focused presentation with a clear beginning, middle, and end. The student speaks so everyone can hear, pronounces words clearly, maintains a steady pace, and uses natural gestures and eye contact.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may speak too softly, rush, or read every word from notes. They may use gestures that distract, avoid eye contact, or present details in an order that is hard to follow.
How to Assess It
- Ask each student to give a 45-second explanation of how to complete a familiar task. Check for an organized order, audible speech, steady pace, clear words, and purposeful eye contact.

Ask students to write three ways a speaker can help an audience follow and understand a presentation, then compare answers with a partner.
Play Presentation Coach, where students deliver a 30-second talk and partners identify one strong choice and one specific improvement.
Have students record a school announcement about an upcoming event, then replay it to check clarity, order, pace, volume, and body language.
