Listening To a Guest Speaker

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Pupils review the main points of note-taking to summarize the content of a formal or informal spoken presentation. They hear a guest speaker talk about a pre-arranged topic and take notes during the presentation. Next, they write a summary of the content and prepare at least three thoughtful questions about the presentation. By changing the language of the rubric, this could be adapted to any grade level.
