Students in groups of 4 or 5 can set up Journal Shares whereby they take turns in reading their journal entries. Listeners make notes of key points and questions to ask in a discussion time at the end. Allow for a good 40 minutes. The slips of paper are just examples for them of how to set up a note taking page. I use the same process for writing assignment shares also.

Here’s a more entertaining version of the Level 2 Speaking Task. It should only take 1 class to set up and then as many lessons as you want to give students to write, rehearse and refine their presentations.
