Oral Presentations: Talking about music we like.

Oral Presentations are to give students practice public speaking i.e. to prepare and deliver a speech. This year to give students added incentive to work harder on their speeches I "youtubed" them. They were given the option to opt out if they were unhappy with their performance and I promised to delete their post. These are the speeches my students gave.
