Re: Public Speaking Collaborative Performance Task
The selection for Best in Public Speaking Awardee is an annual competition in SMILE. This year, it will be held during Foundation Week. The criteria are based largely on the criteria used during DAPRISA public speaking contest.
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 October 14);
Grade 6- Creative Story Re-telling (final piece will be deployed on October 14);
Junior High School- Extemporaneous Preaching (final Bible passage which is the basis for the extemporaneous persuasive preaching will be deployed on October 14). Only one learner in the Junior High School Department will receive the Best in Extemporaneous Preaching Award.
The said competition has no bearing on the grade. However, the basis for selection of the finalists is the combined score for the SMILExpress Yourself performance task in English and Filipino subjects.
For the SMILExpress Yourself performance task, the learners will be given more than a month to read and practice the piece synchronously with their classmates, but they have to master it by themselves. Grades 5-10 learners will be given a practice piece but their final piece will be given 4 days before the deadline for the performance task. Submission of the video of each learner’s performance task in all levels is not later than October 18, 2021. The said ONE PERFORMANCE TASK will be submitted to and scored by the teachers in English, Filipino, MAPEH, and Values subjects for the Second Quarter.
In order to give clarity, consistency and efficiency in the scoring for the SMILExpress Yourself PT asynchronous collaborative performance task in public speaking, herewith are the Scoring Rubrics:
