INFORMATION LITERACY: Transferring Learning - Oral Presentations
The oracy strand is an integral component of the Saskatchewan English Language Arts curricula. Students may choose to orally present all or part of their research projects. However, not all students are auditory learners and classrooms usually include a variety of learning styles.  Keeping the various multiple intelligences in mind, encourage students to include some visual and kinetic components as well as the linguistic component when sharing their research.
