This is a public speaking "club" that will help students improve their oral French skills through short speeches.
For the last time, students will choose any one of the presentation options that they have not already presented. They will prepare their short oral presentation, fulfilling all of the criteria (listed on the page they have in their binder).
Students should also keep in mind eye contact, volume and expression during their presentation.

The CFOO Presentations will take place on Friday, June 9th.
