3rd Grade Writing Lesson 39: Prepare a Writing Presentation

Objective

I can prepare a writing presentation by choosing a strong piece, organizing what I will say, and sharing it clearly with an audience.

Materials

Pencil
Eraser
Ruled paper (wide lines preferred)

Mini-lesson — A good presentation is clear and prepared

A writing presentation is more than reading your paper. The speaker should know what to share, speak clearly, and help the audience understand why the writing matters.

What strong writers do

Choose a piece: Pick writing you can explain and share confidently.
Plan what to say: Introduce the piece, share a part, and explain why you chose it.
Speak clearly: Use a calm voice and enough volume to be heard.
Think about the audience: Make it easy for listeners to follow.

Example

Title: My Stormy Day Story
Reason: I chose it because the ending is strong and the details are clear.

Quick check: “Can the reader understand my writing without extra help?”
