Planning for the speaking class

I've given a lot of thoughts about the speaking class on Friday afternoon. Besides the book report project, I want to do something different or something that can involve "Studio Classroom". Here are some ideas:

1. Summary writing and sharing
2. Short dialogues derived from the reading
3. idea sharing and reflection

And I also want to adopt the activity provided by Meggie in terms of speaking tasks. I can have my students give their presentation in a small group instead of doing it as a big class. What can they talk about? Well, here some choices:

1. pictures / photos (impromptu speech)
2. story-telling
3. debates
4. press conference

I'd better make a plan before school starts.
