    Book Review assessments

    All book reviews will be graded as soon as I get them. 

    I will scan your completed review and email it to you.

    You will need to upload it and add it to your assignment by this Friday 14th June.

    We will display some on the walls of F3.

    Prizes will be handed out as soon as I have seen all book reviews in this class.

    Speeches

    This week we will start thinking about the skills people need to be an effective speaker in front of large groups.

    We will begin to identify and discuss: 

    • Qualities we can hear in a good speech
    • Occupations that use these skills often

    By looking at some events from NZ history we will also research and complete a 1 slide presentation that you can share with the class. This is a good practise activity as we work towards writing and presenting a 3 minute speech for our next assessment task.
