You must answer questions following your presentation, but you can prepare these questions beforehand and plan how you’ll answer them.

These should allow you to respond perceptively, so ask open- ended questions which let you develop on points you’ve made in your speech. Write down your answers/notes, too. Homework over Summer: you must learn this speech, ready to present (which will be filmed to be submitted to the exam board if required) in the first few weeks back. You can create a supporting power-point (pictures, key quotes, short points only – you cannot simply read your speech from this or will not be able to achieve a pass.) You can have cue cards with simple notes on to prompt you, but you must know the majority of this speech off by heart.
Will need to prepare pp/cue cards too.
