At a school meeting attended by pupils and staff, the headteacher is considering a monthly tutor-time session in which pupils teach classmates a simple skill. Write the text of a speech persuading the audience that the school should introduce the sessions. In your speech, explain what pupils could gain from sharing skills, address a concern about running the sessions, and suggest a practical way to begin. You could organise your ideas by considering: what kinds of skills pupils might teach; how taking part could benefit both the pupil teaching and the pupils learning; and how the school could make the first sessions manageable.
Your response will be assessed for communication and organisation, and for vocabulary, sentence structures, spelling and punctuation. The total includes 16 marks for vocabulary, sentence structures, spelling and punctuation.
