🎙️ Horizon: The Baseline Talk
The expedition takes its first real measurement. Learners study the public range rubric, learn the two-minute talk architecture — hook, signposted body, landing — and rehearse in pods before delivering their baseline talks with one unscripted follow-up question. The scored rubrics go into a sealed envelope until lesson seventy, and everyone logs two specific, dated, measurable targets in their field notes using contrast language and the aim-to formula.
Lesson Plan
- First measurements and starting points
- Why two minutes feels long from the inside
- Great openings: the first fifteen seconds
Key Vocabulary
Grammar Points
- Signposting a talk: Let me start with…, Which brings me to…, To wrap up… mark the moves for the listener
- Contrast with whereas joining two full clauses: My fluency was solid, whereas my lexis stayed basic
- Target formula: I aim to + verb phrase + by + date, measured by + noun
- Hedged self-assessment: on the whole, tends to and seems to soften claims about your own performance
