    • hooked my audience with the impact of my opening paragraph and held their interest
    • used my eyes, facial expression and body gestures to enhance my speech
    • good volume, pace and pitch in my voice
    • left my audience with something to think about

    Activities:

    Monday S2: Complete the outstanding assessments - names on the whiteboard. Viewing the movie "The Cay"

    Thursday S2: Introduce speech writing/topics - Choosing topics - google classroom tasks - listening to speeches together.

    A good idea - google 'speech topics' for yr 7 students :o) Your speech may be Informative, Persuasive or Entertaining or a mix of all 3!

    After watching a few 'good speeches'  on google classroom write in your English book 5 points which are the same across all the speeches - record together on whiteboard and add to your own list :o)

    begin to plan, write and edit your speeches - you may like to 'run' your speech topic past a buddy for some feedback and feed forward

    Friday S1: library session - return, issue, renew, reserve novels - read a classmates recommendation and choose to read that novel :o)
