Writing

This term we are working on SPEECHES!  They are such a lot of work but lots of fun!!  We need to have them finished by the end of Week 4 so that we can present them to the class during Week 5.  Our class will pick the top 5 speakers to go through to the Tio competition, which is in Week 6.  The winner of this competition will compete against other schools in Week 7.

Remember:
  • The introduction needs to capture the audience's attention and let them know what the speech is about 
  • Each section of the speech should have a main point
Go to this website to record your speech  www.vocaroo.com and as you play it back, check you have achieved the success criteria for your voice, as given below.
