Oral presentations
Oral presentations is one of the tools strong readers and writers use every day. In this lesson we look at how it works, why it matters, and how you can use it in your own reading and writing.
Good writers notice oral presentations in the books they read. As you work through this lesson, keep an eye out for examples in your own reading — noticing a skill in the wild is the fastest way to make it your own.
By the end of this lesson you will be able to explain oral presentations, spot it in a text, and use it in a paragraph of your own writing.
