00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:09,000
Good morning, so in this third evaluation your oral task will be to produce a book presentation

1
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:20,000
podcast. This podcast will be worth 10% of your mark and it has to be informative, entertaining

2
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:25,000
and we'll talk more about that in a moment. So what will you be asked to do? Well you

3
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:32,000
have to produce a narration of what happens in the novel. You also have to organise other

4
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:39,000
ideas that I'm going to be asking you to do in a sequence. You have to use ICT here, so

5
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:45,000
I'm going to basically ask you to record your audio on your mobile phone and then to save

6
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:50,000
it and send it to me in an email. There will be a guide to help you to be able to do this

7
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:56,000
step by step and because this is an oral text you have to remember that you have to

8
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:03,000
pronounce very clearly, use intonation, use rhythm, be as fluent as you can but also as

9
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:12,000
natural as you can because it is a podcast. So you will be asked to plan, to participate

10
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:23,000
in a conversation, to use your digital competency well, to select your ideas, to begin, to maintain,

11
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:28,000
to continue a conversation and those ideas have to be clearly expressed and I will be

12
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:36,000
helping you with a model text here so don't worry about that. What else can I say here

13
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:42,000
that's in the curriculum? That you have to describe the people, the places, the events

14
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:48,000
in the novel that take place and narrate those events. You also have to explain your opinions

15
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:55,000
and feelings towards this novel. Remember that the purpose is to give information, to

16
00:01:55,000 --> 00:02:01,000
persuade if the listener should read or not the novel that you're presenting and so you

17
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:08,000
have to really entertain and don't forget that you have to speak very very clearly and

18
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:14,000
use intonation because it is and it's meant to be a podcast and you're meant to entertain.

19
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:19,000
So what resources will I be asking you to use? Well primarily your mobile phone so that

20
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:25,000
you can record the text that you've prepared and you will also have to find a classmate

21
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:31,000
who's prepared to be the host of this podcast. In other words the person who asks you the

22
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:37,000
questions about the novel that you're recommending. In the next few lessons then we've got lots

23
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:45,000
of work to do. Firstly you have to choose your novel and read it. Then you have to hopefully

24
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:50,000
consult my model, the eight sections. These are the points that I would like you to talk

25
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:56,000
about in your podcast. Hopefully you will also listen to my podcast and use it as a

26
00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:03,000
model for your own. I've also prepared a script of the questions that your host will ask so

27
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:07,000
that you don't have to do too much work there because that's not the important part. The

28
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:14,000
important part is the information that you provide about the novel. You have to remember

29
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:20,000
that if you'd like me to publish your work in an EducaMadrid platform that in this audio you

30
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:28,000
must use an avatar name, not your real name because you're underage. Find a classmate who

31
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:37,000
will be your podcast host and then practice. Practice that interview. Now either before the

32
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:45,000
recording or after the recording I'd like you to peer evaluate each other's work to improve the

33
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:52,000
podcast using the rubric that I will give you. When you're happy with your audio there will be

34
00:03:52,000 --> 00:04:00,000
a step-by-step guide to record, save and send the podcast to me. Remember that when you send this

35
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:08,000
podcast to me it is crucial that the audio has your name, your two surnames. This is very, very

36
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:15,000
important and not your avatar name. So what will I be looking for when I give you a mark? Well you

37
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:23,000
have to produce a coherent text. It has to be a text, an audio text that presents the book. I will

38
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:31,000
be looking for your ability to narrate, inform about the novel, express your opinions about the

39
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:38,000
novel. I'm going to see if you have done a little bit of research on the author. I need to make sure

40
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:45,000
or you need to be able to show me that you can organize your ideas, structure them, produce a

41
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:51,000
message that's coherent. Use the sort of words that we use to describe novels like character,

42
00:04:52,000 --> 00:05:00,000
setting, plot and also provide your opinion. This isn't going to be difficult for you to do. You

43
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:08,000
will have to show me that you can begin, maintain, finish a conversation, pronounce clearly, fluently

44
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:17,000
and use ICT to be able to record the task, send me the audio, follow those instructions and that's

45
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:26,000
it. So remember in summary you're going to do a book presentation podcast. It is very important

46
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:33,000
that the audio text you send me has your full name. I will be showing you the steps to do this

47
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:41,000
and it is also important that if you'd like me to publish your work that in the actual audio you use

48
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:47,000
an avatar name. If you don't use an avatar name, an invented name, then I can't publish your work.

49
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:53,000
What else? Yes, that when you send me that audio if you'd like me to publish the work,

50
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:59,000
for example in the school newsletter, it's important that you tell me in the email that

51
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:05,000
you give me permission to publish your work and you give me permission to use the creative

52
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:14,000
commons share alike. Yes, the audio must be three to five minutes long and so the last thing left to

53
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:21,000
say is, well, what do you have to include in this audio? Well, you must complete your text with the

54
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:26,000
instructions I'm going to give you below. So here we go. Number one, I'd like you to give me

55
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:33,000
information when you finish reading your novel about the title of the novel, the author's name,

56
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:41,000
the genre, was it a novel or is it a novel that is adventure, thriller, mystery, romance,

57
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:48,000
and a little bit of information about other work that the author has produced. Have any of

58
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:56,000
this author's novels been adapted to film? Has he or she won prizes? Number two, describe how you

59
00:06:56,000 --> 00:07:03,000
came across the novel. Three, describe the setting. Where does the story mostly take place

60
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:12,000
and if you can, when it takes place. Fourthly, I'd like you to summarise the plot. Is it told

61
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:18,000
chronologically? Is it a first person or a third person narrator, an omniscient narrator? Are there

62
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:25,000
flashbacks, flash forwards? Who's involved in the story? In other words, who are the main characters

63
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:30,000
and what is the conflict? Because every story for it to be entertaining must have some kind

64
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:37,000
of conflict or problem or challenge. Now, number four, you have to be really careful

65
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:44,000
not to spoil the novel. In other words, because the purpose is for us to go away and read this

66
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:51,000
novel, you mustn't tell us something that could spoil that for us. Then I'd like you to be able

67
00:07:51,000 --> 00:08:00,000
in your podcast to either read a few quotes or explain a moment in the novel that was your

68
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:08,000
favourite moment and very important, explain why. Try not to be basic here and say, oh because it

69
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:13,000
was interesting or it was good. Really think carefully about why you think this is one of

70
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:20,000
your favourite moments in the novel. Describe the main character's personality. You should explain

71
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:27,000
if this is a strong or a weak quality and try to refer to the novel to say why the character is

72
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:34,000
like that, but without spoiling the novel for us if we want to read it. Then you need to explain

73
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:40,000
who you recommend this novel, whom you recommend this novel to and again why is very important.

74
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:45,000
Try to avoid things like, because it was interesting, evaluate the novel with stars.

75
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:54,000
Would you give it 5 out of 5, 10 out of 10 and why? And finally, explain what you've learned

76
00:08:54,000 --> 00:09:05,000
from this novel. How has it changed you? All novels teach us lessons or make us think about

77
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:12,000
themes and so how has this novel made you think about one of the themes or the characters in the

78
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:19,000
novel carefully? So as I said before, the rubric, what will I be looking for? Very, very important.

79
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:26,000
The audio that you send me must have your name and your two surnames. This is crucial for me to

80
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:32,000
be able to give you an evaluation mark. And then to get the top points you have to obviously produce

81
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:38,000
a book presentation podcast with six, seven to eight items that I've mentioned before.

82
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:44,000
So the information has to be detailed and relevant and remember that the purpose is

83
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:50,000
to inform, to entertain, to persuade me to read or not read the novel. Your language has to be

84
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:57,000
coherent, your ideas have to be well organized and remember to try to use that vocabulary that

85
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:07,000
I spoke about. Words like the character, the setting, the plot. It is an oral text so you have to be loud,

86
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:13,000
very loud, pronounce very clearly, try to be fluent. You're good at this so don't be worried.

87
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:20,000
And then I will also be giving you marks for sending me the audio with your full name.

88
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:28,000
If you want me to publish your work you must use an avatar name. You must also tell me clearly

89
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:35,000
if you do or do not want me to publish your work and if you do want me to publish your work to use

90
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:42,000
the Sharealike logo, the Creative Sharealike logo and then you get points for sending me this work

91
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:47,000
before the deadline or on time. And this is it. Thank you very much. I hope it's

92
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:50,000
provided some useful information on the podcast.
