Creating and delivering an oral text · Part 1 of 2
9 exam-style questions with model answers, plus 12 quick multi-choice questions — every question on this part of the standard, grouped by the 3 pages of notes they come from.
Write a full answer before you reveal the model one. That comparison is where the learning happens.
Explain what AS91476 asks that the Level 2 oral standard did not, and state the two Explanatory Note constraints on the text.
Explain how to choose a subject for this standard, and explain why the subject a student most wants to speak about is often the weakest choice.
Discuss the claim that in this standard, choosing the subject is a larger act of craft than writing the speech.
Explain what develops ideas means in this standard, and describe a test a student can use to check whether their speech develops.
Explain why speeches so often fail to develop, and explain how the difference between repeating phrasing and repeating ideas lets a speaker satisfy both the listener and the standard.
Discuss what makes a complication genuine rather than performed, and evaluate how a speaker can build a speech around an argument they cannot win.
Explain what fluent and coherent each require in an oral text, and give one test for each.
Explain why the second half of a speech is almost always weaker than the first, and explain how counting concrete detail repairs it.
Discuss the claim that fluency is the property most likely to disguise a failing speech. Evaluate what a student should do about it.
