Welcome to Term 3!

You will remember that the end of Term 2 was all about listening to a variety of speakers and having a practice at presenting a short piece in front of 7F3 before you started writing your own 3 minute speech for the assessment task this term.

Our focus for the next 2-3 weeks continues to be on our speeches.

We were aiming for everyone to have their speech written, put onto cue cards and practised by Week 1 of this term.
I will be checking in with you to see how you are going during our first English session.

As an audience we will also be giving each speaker feedback using a doc.

We will comment on:

• how close to 3 minutes they were

• their speed

• effective use of their cue cards

• amount of eye contact

• volume

• impact on you

• things they did well

• things they could improve on
