Lesson details
Key learning points
- Being a critical friend means helping others to improve by giving honest feedback in a supportive way.
- Being able to articulate the main points of a presentation verbally is good preparation for developing ideas.
- Discussion and probing questions can help to refine and develop ideas for a presentation.
- When creating a presentation you could consider the time limit, evidence, clarity and structure.

Keywords
Articulate - to express thoughts or ideas clearly and effectively
Discourse markers - words or phrases that help organise and connect ideas in speech or writing
Refine - to improve something by making small changes
Rebuttal - a response that argues against or contradicts a statement or claim
Common misconception
Pupils sometimes think they need to write out their whole presention before they deliver it.
It can be much more effective to verbally plan and practice presentations without writing it in full. Approaching the tasks verbally can increase pupil confidence in articulating ideas out loud.
