27 July - 2 August

Kia ora.Another busy week for us as we work towards presenting and recording our speeches in Week 3.  Please remember we have Project on Wednesday and Focus on Friday, so we need to make the most of the timetabled English session on Tuesday.  You should all by now have selected and research your topic and be well underway (if not finished) the writing of your speech.  Remember to use the criteria and marking rubric when you are working to check you are giving yourself every opportunity to succeed. Think about the speech exemplars we watched last Friday - what worked well and the areas you know you can improve.  I will organise for you to have access to the cameras to record your speeches next week, but can I suggest you use your devices to record your speeches at least once during the rehearsal zone so you can make an honest evaluation of the areas you need to work on.
