Activities:

  Learning Intentions: (We are learning to...)

We are exploring.......self by observing our habits, behaviour, values and standards.

We are exploring......self awareness by identifying our feelings for self and others.

We are exploring.....our relationships by thinking about the value, challenges, purpose, issues and gaps of relationships within a variety of texts

We are exploring.....’Change’ by analysing the ways in which life & relationships have changed after lockdown

We are exploring......the impacts of different media on self by reflecting on  how they influence our thinking about self and our behaviour

We are exploring....... the elements of Verbal Language by understanding and applying content, language, and text forms in our speech

FOCUS

We are FOCUSED..... developing our self awareness by identifying a range of important lessons/experiences from lock down for Life After Lockdown

We are FOCUSED.....on effective public speaking by understanding, discussing  and applying the features of verbal language, body language and making an oral presentation.

We are FOCUSED..... on expressing our ideas, opinions and thoughts on our chosen topic by planning and constructing our speech.

Success Criteria: I can….

-consistently and intentionally explore personal beliefs, values, strengths, and challenges and how they impact me and my relationships

-think critically about texts (short stories/short films) with understanding & confidence and recognise, understand and consider how texts are constructed for a range of purposes, audiences, and situations

-construct texts (speech) that demonstrate an understanding of purpose (public speaking)  and audience through deliberate choice of content, language, and text form and can seek  feedback to make changes to texts to improve clarity, meaning, and effect

-use a wide range of oral & written language features and an increasing range of vocabulary to communicate precise meaning & effect, to sustain interest and to achieve a sense of coherence when constructing texts

-convey and sustain a personal voice where appropriate by being reflective about the production of my own texts: monitor and self-evaluate progress, articulate learning with confidence.

Use these notes when you practice your speech: 

Just as words form the spoken language to communicate a message, the way we stand, where we look, how we move our hands and the tone of our voice form the body language.

Eye Contact

• Look at the audience for 3 seconds before you begin

• look at several people throughout the audience (If you find this really difficult, look at the top of the heads of the people in the back row, then at least your voice will carry to everyone in the audience)

Presentation Voice

• Take a deep breath

• begin speaking in a voice louder than your usual conversation voice

Set Your Hands

• Hold your cue cards loosely in one hand

• Hold your hands together

• Keep them about waist high in front of you

• Set your feet

• Place your feet & shoulder wide apart

• Balance your weight evenly on both feet.
