YOU (+ YOUR GROUP MEMBERS’) NAME(S): ______________________________________________________________
FURTHER ORAL ACTIVITY – FOA Proposal You will present two FOAs during your two years of the IB DP: Language and Literature course. These will be presented on Parts 1 and 2 (Language in Cultural Context and Language & Mass Communication). The FOA is out of 30 and your best mark of the two FOAs will count for 15% of your final grade. The further oral activities (FOAs) are intended to address the relationship between language, meaning and context. There must be a clear link between the content of the FOA and the part of the course.

3. What insights are you showing you have gained about your topic and about how language (and visual elements, possibly) are used to affect audiences? So what? Why is this interesting?
4. What learning outcome will you show you have accomplished and HOW? (be specific -see task sheet)?
5. Format/presentation style: What type of "speech act" will you be doing (speech, interview, campaign pitch, visual presentation, newscast, prezi, etc.)? WHY? What will this help show?
