Speech Topics

Welcome back to school in the new year! Rajan and Yashmeen had their birthdays over the break on December 30th. We sang a happy belated birthday song to both of them this morning.

Language

Learning goal: Students will write and recite their own information speech for the upcoming oral competition.

We started this morning by collecting students' speech topics and I looked over them for approval. We also started to write our introductions by gathering the information the students would be talking about from their research in their speech. Students started to write their own introductions with a hook that grabs the reader's attention. Ex: Ask a question, say an interesting fact, tell a story.

Homework: Complete introduction paragraph if not completed at school. Research more about your specific body paragraph points and print out for tomorrow if needed.

UOI
