Warm Up

How did you prepare to present solutions? How do you think you should prepare?

Language

A. Gather information

  1. First, select the part you want to read.
    • How do you do that? Discuss it with your teacher. 
  2. Then skim only the relevant information. 

    • How do you do that? Discuss it with your teacher. 

B. Make an argument

Use the framework introduced in GCAS Strategies 2–4. 

  • Claim—your opinion.
  • Evidence—concrete information.
  • Reasoning—explaining why your evidence supports your claim. 

Try this now. 

  1. Make one argument when you introduce the issue (theme); and
  2. make another argument when you introduce the solution.
Practice

Your teacher will give you a business issue and an ideas sheet. Use your 90 seconds of preparation as effectively as possible, then deliver your ideas.
