We work on a new theme every lesson at Thinking Factory. All or half the class must answer the SBC questions asked based on a particular poster. This takes up about 20 minutes of lesson time but this ensures that students are exposed to a variety of different oral themes right up to their Preliminary oral. We also discuss together the best ways to approach each question in the SBC using the TREES approach.
I have compiled a list of SA1 and Preliminary SBC themes that my students from 2016-2019 were tested on. I have chosen two common themes from each year. I hope that this can help students prepare for their Prelim oral in some small way.
Stay positive!
