Nearly at speech delivery time

Room 19 have been working really well on speech researching and writing. We are looking forward to hearing many wonderful speeches next week.

A few are still finishing speeches off and need to be working on these at home.

Most are at the stage of practising their speech delivery. We have talked about what makes a great delivery, good pace - not too fast, effective use of pauses, some hand gestures, lots of eye contact...

Practice, practice, practice is what is needed over the next few days at home, in front of a mirror, the family pet, a parent or sibling. 

If there was a competition for the most carefully made cue cards...

Finishing touches, nearly there...

The practice begins...
