Example notes: a beach clean-up photo
- teens clean beach, sunny morning
- gloves, bin bags, plastic bottles
- care + act, not complain → positive
- Sharing the planet: pollution affects everyone
- schools could organise this?
Signpost the parts: Use connectors so the teacher can follow: to begin with, moreover, on the other hand, to sum up.

The five parts in action: The same beach clean-up photo, from the notes to a full talk.
Model presentation
The presentation, part by part
- Introduce. "The photo I am going to talk about shows a group of teenagers cleaning a beach on a sunny morning."
- Describe. "To begin with, I can see young people wearing gloves and carrying bin bags. Some are picking up plastic bottles near the water."
- Interpret + opinion. "To me, this suggests that young people care about the environment and are ready to act, not just complain. Moreover, they look happy, so it seems to be fun as well. In my opinion, this kind of volunteering is exactly what our towns need."
- Link to a theme. "This connects to the theme of sharing the planet, because plastic in the sea is a problem for everyone."
- Close. "To sum up, I find this image very positive, and I would like to talk more about how schools could organise events like this."
