The viewing should take you about 30 minutes. Please use the next 30 minutes to respond to the questions on the discussion board.

Follow-up activity for the June Holiidays -

1) Please organise yourselves in groups of 4 for your Oral Assessment. 2) Decide on ONE topic of discussion that the panel will present. This topic must be related to the theme of Science and Technology, e.g. GM food will solve the problem of food shortage in the world today. 3) Assign specific roles to each member of the panel, e.g. scientist, educator, farmer, layman. 4) Half the team will agree with the issue in the topic that you have chosen, while the other half will disagree. 5) Appoint a chairman as well (who is also one of the presenters) to do the facilitation during the test. 6) Read the handout (on Oral Assessment) given carefully so that you know what the requirements of the test are. 7) Ensure you are amply prepared for the test during the holidays, by reading other materials that will help you to prepare your 3-min script. 8) The chairman will email me the topic that the group has chosen as well as the names of the group members, so that there will not be a duplication of topics chosen.
