Kia Ora Y7 and welcome to your English course page for 2021. My name is Mrs. (Rajesh) Joshi and I will be your teacher of English this year. I was born and brought up in India. I moved to New Zealand about seven years back.
This page is where you will find all the necessary information required for your English course. All tasks, activities and assessments will be placed here as well as additional lesson notes and resources. Please make it a habit to check this page at the start of each week. This will ensure that you are aware of any expectations we may have of you at that time.
I wish you a great year ahead at Water/MHJC and hope that together we will be able to grow our greatness. Demonstrate that you practice the school values 'Learning to Learn (Ako), Compassion (Awhinatanga) Integrity (Pono) and Life-Long Learner (Wānanga)' in word and spirit. Learn and enjoy while you are here. Feel free to see me or email me if you have any concerns/questions about your learning. My email address is: rjoshi@mhjc.school.nz

http://7thgradehumanities.weebly.com/literary-devices.html (Literary Devices)
Here are a few language techniques which can be used to keep listeners engaged during a speech and make points memorable. (We discussed these in class in week 7)
Repetition - try repeating a key word or phrase to reinforce a point.
For example, ‘We have seen what we need to do. Now we need to do it and do it together.’Quote an expert or use a statistic - these details can make your speech more convincing and give authority to your arguments.
For example, ‘70 per cent of young people say being online helps them understand what’s happening in the world.’Alliteration - repeating a sound in your speech could give your point more impact.
For example, repeating an ‘s’ sound, ‘This situation should send shock waves across our society.’ -

PPT on 'How to give a speech'
Use these notes when you practice your speech:
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 for 3 seconds 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)
Presentation Voice
Take a deep breath
begin speaking in a voice louder than your usual conversation voice
Set Your Hands
Hold your cue cards loosely in one hand
Hold your hands together
Keep them about waist high in front of you
Set your feet
Place your feet & shoulder wide apart
Balance your weight evenly on both feet.
