Title: Family Story Presentation Forum
Course: BC - English 5 - XT - 1.0.0.0

Your teacher will put you into a small group with some of your classmates where you will share your finished Family Story Presentation with that group in a forum.

Have a family member take a video of you giving your Family Story Presentation. You can do this in front of an audience or just in front of the camera.

Upload the video so your classmates can view it. This could mean creating a private YouTube video or uploading the video to a shared folder like Google Drive or Dropbox.

Your job, once you have posted your own story, is to watch the presentations of your group members and give each member of your group a “high-five.” Altogether, each story should receive five encouraging comments from the group as a whole.

Here are some suggested sentence starters for your comments:

- “My favourite part of the story was …”
- “What I like about your main character is …”
- “I like how you ‘showed’ instead of ‘told’ about …”
- “I was really interested during the climax of your story because…”
- “I like how you ended the story because …”
- “My favourite line in the story was…”

This forum is a chance for you to connect with your classmates, hear some great family stories, and leave comments that are thoughtful and respectful.
