**Oral corrections** (Shona):
//Communication// Good organisation and transition between speakers. Good effort to be dynamic and interesting.

//Slides// Many errors in English (slide 11 - mains reasons) and not much in the way of illustration.

//Content// It was a good idea to present the other side of the argument, but you didn't really tie this part into your conclusion. You said a) climate change is perhaps caused by humans b) perhaps not and c) we have to change our behavior anyway. More evidence that Glenn Beck is a reputable scientist would have been helpful also.

Slide 2-9 (Melissa) A little too quiet and hesitant, and you had some problems reading some of the words on your slides. It's always best not to read, but you also need to learn the pronunciation of key words like the environment.

heavy the environment autochtone > indigenous elevation > rise inundation > floods floe's biodiversity > the biodiversity of ice floes disappearing

Slide 10 (Anthony) Good delivery, but you read the slides too much and your intonation is rather monotonous. The audience feels it is being lectured.

environment cutting down automobile shipping (not chipping) three quarters catastrophe

Slide 17 (Eric) Very communicative, good intonation, but grammar is very poor, particularly in the slides.

the temperature don't correlate > temperatures don't correlate, or the temperature doesn't correlate the problem is become from the sun > the problem comes from the sun Bagdad knew the first ice > there was ice in Bagdad for the first time lowest we can see the augmentation > we can see the rise persons > people idea (i-de-a) he writed a book > wrote he think > he thinks it's the natural fault > it's nature's fault, it's a natural problem

Slide 26 (Alexis) Good delivery, a little hesitant. When you take a poll (= sondage) in the class, ask who thinks A, count hands, then who thinks B, count hands. Wait until people respond otherwise they will not participate.
