Over the last 3 weeks the children have been working on writing their speeches. In the initial stages the speech was planned out on a graphic organiser. Deciding on what to persuade their audience about and the reasons that justified their points of view were recorded. Facts or examples to explain each point of view were noted.
The next stage was to write, which has been done in class over many writing sessions. Using extra information gathered through research, as part of Home Learning, ideas were expanded and justified with facts.
Today the children have brought home their speech drafts which they now need to practise (some children have a little work to do to complete their speeches so they are closer to the required 3 minute expectation). As they do so it is important they think of all the points we have discussed that are important when presenting a speech. A copy of the speech marking sheet will come home before the end of the week so parents and children can discuss the progress being made towards the success criteria.
All speeches (or cue cards) are required back at school on Monday so the children can practise with a buddy at school and receive peer feedback.
Tuesday 17 and Wednesday 18 are presentation days at school for our class so cue cards will definitely be needed at school.
