Re: Public Speaking Collaborative Performance Task

Public Speaking is an annual competition in SMILE. Basis for selection of the finalists is the score for the performance task in public speaking. The learners were given their pieces in January and will be allowed to submit the video of their performance not later than March 21, 2021. The said ONE PERFORMANCE TASK will be submitted to and scored by the teachers in English, MAPEH, and Values subjects for the Fourth Quarter.

The following are the categories / genre: Grade 1 Poem Recitation; Grade 2 Storytelling; Grade 3 Declamation; Grade 4 Oration; Grade 5 Interpretive Reading (final piece will be deployed on March 18); Grade 6 Creative Story Re-telling (final piece will be deployed on March 18); Junior High School – Extemporaneous Preaching (final Bible passage for the original persuasive preaching will be deployed on March 18).

In order to give clarity, consistency and efficiency in the scoring for the performance task in public speaking, the following are the Rubrics:

B. Intonation, Pace and Articulation	Intonation, rhythm and pace are skillful. Enunciation and pronunciation are correct.	Intonation and pace are correct. Enunciation is mostly correct.	Tone is unnatural, inappropriate, boring or monotonous. Pacing is uneven. Enunciation needs much improvement.

E. Dramatic Appropriateness of Delivery (face and body)	Non-verbal communication style reflects internalization of the piece All gestures and movements serve to clarify the meaning of the text.
