I'm really happy that everyone has decided on a speech topic! What an interesting range of topics you have all come up with.
Tonight's mission is to start collecting information on your speech topic. It is a good idea to look in books, on the internet, interview someone or simply brainstorm ideas for each of your main points. Here is some of the flipchart we looked at in class today to jog your memory on how a speech is put together. On Monday and Tuesday we will start putting together the body of your speech. The aim is to have them finished by the middle of of next week, then you will have a good week to practise your speech. (If you drag your mouse over the slideshow you can pause the slideshow in order to read the information.)
Students who missed this lesson today: We brainstormed possible main points relating to our chosen speech topic. We thought of as many as we could - some of us are still thinking... Then we circled the three or four best ones to include in our speech. This then gives you a direction to focus your research.


Hi Mrs Cleland,
ReplyDeleteI was at Otago Girls when we did this, so my topic is why boys like blue and girls like blue. If it is an all right topic I will start researching tonight.
Is it why boys like blue and girls like pink? Or Why boys and girls like blue?
ReplyDeleteYou will be able to find some information to help you - you will also need to use your own imagination for this speech. Could be a goodie. Happy information collecting.
DeleteIts why boys like blue and girls like pink just a little typing malfunction
Deleteare you allowed to use photos on the white board to make the speech more interesting?
ReplyDeleteSorry Josh, no props. You'll be good at 'painting a picture with words', I know.
