CFOO!

Happy, happy Thursday!

The main event in Français today was CFOO!

What is CFOO, you ask?

CFOO (Le Club Fabuleux des Orateurs et Oratrices) is a public speaking "club" (similar to its English friend, TUSC) that will help students improve their oral French skills through short presentations. There are fifteen different presentation options, separated into three categories: Research, Opinion and Creativity. 

Our CFOO preparation and presentation periods alternate on Day 4, periods 2 and 3.

For the first presentation, we will be choosing one of the five Opinion options. We will prepare a short oral presentation, fulfilling all of the criteria (listed on the page we have in our binder). Our presentations can be in the form of speeches, but they can also take on various other forms: a poster, a puppet play, a song, a poem, a painting, a PowerPoint, a movie, etc. As long as our public-speaking skills are on display, the possibilities are truly endless!

Leading up to the first presentation, we will continue discussing what we should keep in mind while making an oral presentation to the class. This will include: keeping eye contact with the audience, having a confident stance while at the front of the room, projecting our voice and speaking at a good pace with expression.

Now that we have had our one work period to prepare, the rest of the work (finishing up our speech and practicing our presentation) will be done on our own time. If we would like Mme Careen to review our speech with us, we are welcome to make an appointment to work with her at lunch over the coming week. Our first CFOO presentations are set for Thursday, October 10. Mark your calendars! :)
