A school is considering including a five-minute student presentation in every weekly assembly. It asked 120 students for their views. Each student selected one response to each question.
| Question | Response | Number of students |
|---|---|---|
| Would you volunteer to give a short presentation? | Yes, on my own | 26 |
| Yes, with a partner or group | 51 | |
| No | 43 | |
| Would you listen to student presentations in assembly? | Likely | 74 |
| Unsure or depends on the topic | 35 | |

Students and staff are meeting to decide whether the proposal should go ahead. Prepare the speech you would give at this meeting. Interpret the survey findings, assess the advantages and possible difficulties of the proposal, and justify what you think the school should do.
Your work will be assessed on communication and adaptation to audience and purpose (27 marks), and organisation and technical accuracy (18 marks).
