- Your scripture reading can be anything you like, eg: a parable, a psalm, a reading from the Gospels
- Introductory Speech: 30 - 45 seconds. This is a time to use the main ideas or theme of your reading to make up a small speech explaining what the reading means to you, without retelling the reading - ie: "What the story of the Last Supper tells/demonstartes/means to me is ....."
- Homework: your speech will be written into your homework book by Friday 23rd March. Well done to those people who have already done theirs over the last 2 weeks.
- Format for scripture reading on the day of the Eisteddfods in the church: start in the middle of the church in front of the altar using a microphone with your introductory speech, then move to the lectern and say, "This is a reading from.... eg: Matthew Chapter 3, Verses 1 - 14 ..." then start the reading. At the end if it is a Gospel reading only say, "The Gospel of the Lord."
- Timetable: Class eisteddfods will be heard on Tuesday 26th March (remember Monday is a holiday). They will be heard in the classroom and speech and reading will be from behind a desk. Although many of you have worked on your eisteddfod from a photocopied paper, you will read from the bible or bible story book on the day.
- Thursday 28th March: 1:45pm in the church will be when the school presentation will be held. The names of those reading will be in the newsletter on Wednesday 27th.
Hints for your oral presentation
- When reading from the lectern you do not have to look up at your audience all the time, and don't always look at one particular group.
- Use good expression when you read - use the punctuation to phrase your reading into meaningful chunks - pause correctly.
- Read at a steady pace - not too fast.
- You do not have to learn your reading off by heart, but you must learn your introduction.
- Make sure that your words and voice are very clear so that your audience understands.
