Questions about Present It Formally
What does the Present It Formally worksheet cover?
It practises producing formal English for a presentation — 6 questions for Grade 4, all on Common Core SL.4.6: Tell when to use formal English and when informal is fine. The instruction to pupils is “Finish each sentence”, and the answer key follows on the next sheet.
Which Common Core standard does Present It Formally practise?
CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.SL.4.6 — SL.4.6, in the Speaking & Listening domain for Grade 4. The published standard reads: “Differentiate between contexts that call for formal English (e.g., presenting ideas) and situations where informal discourse is appropriate (e.g., small-group discussion); use formal English when appropriate to task and situation.” The worksheet assesses that standard rather than a paraphrase of it.
What age or grade is this worksheet for?
Present It Formally is written for Grade 4, typically ages 9-10. It is one of the sheets on SL.4.6, so it suits any pupil working at that standard — including older pupils revisiting it and younger ones working ahead.
Does Present It Formally come with an answer key?
Yes. All 6 answers are generated from the same problems as the questions, so the key cannot drift out of step with the sheet. It starts on a fresh sheet of paper, after the questions, so it is not handed out with the class by accident.
How many different versions of Present It Formally can I print?
25 — one per pupil, and all 25 ask different questions. Set 1 downloads the whole class as a single PDF. Every version is fixed to its own address, so a sheet printed today holds the same problems when you reopen it next week.
