The Sigma Workbook 'AS 1.6 Construct and Deliver an Oral Text' is a write-on student workbook covering the English skills students need to gain Achieved, Merit, or Excellence in this NCEA Level 1 Achievement Standard. The work covers only Achievement Standard 1.6 'Construct and Deliver an Oral Text' (AS90857)

This workbook contains a large number of write-on student tasks designed to help students practise the skills necessary to develop a deeper understanding in this area of the New Zealand English curriculum. Students will also find detailed instruction boxes, glossaries and other resources that will develop the ideas, vocabulary, techniques and processes needed to gain a high level pass in the internal assessment for this Standard. 

At the end of the workbook there is a valuable model of a final written draft for a speech. Candidates can use is model to develop their own speech. A full set of task answers is included, which act as a guide to structuring a quality oral performance. An abbreviated version of Achievement Standard 1.6 is included in the resource.

 

Sigma's workbook 'AS 1.6 Construct and Deliver an Oral Text' is best bought before the standard is taught at school and used throughout this time as a classroom and homework resource. Sigma workbooks are also valuable resources when students have missed school through illness or have transferred from other schools and have missed instruction in a particular achievement standard.

 

Once completed, 'AS 1.6 Construct and Deliver an Oral Text' provides a useful set of revision notes at assessment time. It can be kept as a reference book if students intend taking a Year 12 English  course.
