Chook house speeches
Chook house speeches
This strategy will help students to:
-
plan a presentation to demonstrate understandings and attitudes to a sexual health issue
-
communicate with others through an oral presentation.
Implementation
-
Pose a statement for students to consider (e.g. ‘Needle syringe exchange programs reduce the risk of Hepatitis C and HIV transmissions among injecting drug users').
-
Give students five minutes to write their key notes before moving to the ‘chook house' (a designated area of the classroom or outside the room as the noise level resembles a chook house) to practise their speech.
-
Give students a further five minutes to write any final notes and points to include in their speech.
-
Place the name of each student in a container.
-
Draw the names of two students who are to present their speech.
-
Invite other students to add further points to those already raised by the two speakers.
-
Ask the group to vote for or against the statement after listening to the points highlighted in the speeches.
