Speeches

We have been working on persuasive writing so far this term and have begun writing our speeches.  Most children have started typing their speeches up on their Google Drive so they can work on one document at home and at school.

Parents, could you please help your child with their speech at home?  The things that we are looking for are:

• a good knowledge of the topic
• a clear argument (you need to pick a side and argue it)
• clear reasons with examples
• an introduction to hook the listener in, 3 reasons (minimum) with examples, and a conclusion
• presenting is clear and confident, with expression

We will be performing our speeches in front of our class in Week 4 and then two or three will also perform in front of junior assembly.

Have fun practicing your speech!
