The students had been given the assessment criteria one week in advance of the report and they were given time in class to prepare the report. However, when the reports began, Susan was disappointed in the quality of the students' work. The students did not exhibit the behaviors outlined in the criteria (attention-getting introduction, clear speaking style, organization of thoughts, and so forth). It became obvious to Susan that the students did not know what an good oral report looked like. What should Susan do to help her students understand proper oral reporting? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Before the students were given the criteria for the report, the teacher should have modeled the process. Showing what was required would have assisted the students to see what was expected. This could be in the form of the teacher modeling each section, or a video of prior students that did a great job.
