In preparation for the IB Spanish Oral or speaking proficiency in general, I incorporate oral exams (based on images in the Hispanic world) throughout my Spanish I, II, and III curriculums. I have students memorize and practice these sentence starters to begin their oral (objectively explaining what they see in the photo). I hang these on the classroom walls to build their confidence for Part I of the oral (describe lo que ves en la foto que elegiste).
