C.F.O.O!

 In Français, we are starting CFOO 

(Le Club Fabuleux des Orateurs et Oratrices)! 

This is a public speaking "club" that will help students improve their oral French skills through short presentations.
There are fifteen different presentations, separated into three categories: Research, Opinion and Creativity.

For the first presentation, students must choose one of the five Opinion options. They will then prepare their short oral presentation, fulfilling all of the criteria (listed on the page they have in their binder).

Students should also keep in mind eye contact, volume and expression during their presentation.
The presentation could take on various forms: a speech, a poster, a puppet play, etc. - the possibilities are endless!

The first CFOO will take place on 

Friday, October 27th.
