PREPARATION FOR THE ORAL BAGRUT ETAI Winter Conference Nahalal - Dec 2011 Tracy Piada
Pupils should : a) know what to expect b) feel confident that they have enough to say.
: Knowing what to expect 1. Explain what happens on the day of the Bagrut. 2. What they have to do. 3. How they will be graded – explain how the rubric works. 4. The emphasis should be on fluency rather than accuracy.
: Feeling confident Give them a list of Interview Topics: 1) Yourself 2) Where you live 3) Your family 4) Your school 5) Hobbies / Sports / Groups 6) Trips in Israel / abroad
7) Your plans for the future (army / travel / studies / work) 8) TV / films / music / books 9) Current news issues Help them to prepare for what to say on any of these topics.
For example - Where you live: * Where is it * How many people live there * How long have you lived there * What is there to do * What you like/don’t like * Would you live there in the future
About your family: * What do your parents do * How many brothers/sisters do you have (older/younger) * Do you have a good relationship * What things do you do together
Important to remember: 1. Give the pupils the vocabulary they need. 2. Let the pupils make notes / use key words. 3. Avoid pupils writing full answers (turning it into a prepared speech).
