Arthur Ashe Biography Presentation (Pair with Worksheet - see link in description)
This is a presentation that I put together on former American tennis great Arthur Ashe. I typically pull this out for whenever my students are doing biographies of famous people or for Black History Month - itīs nice because none of my students know him so they HAVE to pay attention. It goes this the comprehension worksheet found here: http://www.eslprintables.com/printable.asp?id=900459#thetop.
I tend to tell my students to fill in the answers as best as they can and discourage them stopping me mid way to repeat the answer to a SPECIFIC question - if they need me to repeat something in GENERAL of course they are always encouraged to ask me for that.
The answers page of the worksheet will mostly work as your script/guide through the presentation. I would review both before presenting to orient yourself but it shouldnīt be hard once you do that. DO NOT TRY AND DO THIS PRESENTATION WITHOUT REVIEWING BOTH FIRST. I tend to just used titles of slides to help anchor my students but avoid putting too many words on the slide so they can practice listening comprehension instead of reading.
FYI: this presentation along with reviewing the answers should take an entire class period.
