The outline should include the main idea and a list of supporting ideas with additional examples and explanations. Students then give the same short presentation three times, presenting to a different partner each time. For the first presentation, students have 4 minutes to talk, for the second, they have 3 minutes, and for the third, 2 minutes. The idea behind this activity is that it gives students multiple practices so that after each presentation, they should be speaking with increased fluency, making corrections and avoiding mistakes in each subsequent practice. The activity also ensures that every student gets valuable speaking time during the lesson.
