  • Term 3: Week 1

    Kia Ora Y10. Welcome back to school in Term 3. I hope you all had a refreshing holiday and ensured that you practiced your speech. This week, you will present your speech. Remember to time your speech well between 4 and 5 minutes.

    This is going to be your Assessment-2. You will be graded on your ideas, structure & content and presentation.

    NCEA VIDEO RECORDING GUIDELINES:

    • It is really important to ensure that the sound quality is good. We cannot moderate the content if we can't hear it!
    • Use only mid shot or long shot when recording. 
    • Do not ask Mr. Singh to use Media cameras. I will provide you cameras. 
    • You must record only at school; preferably in my presence.

      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 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)

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