LI: to hook up audience with a persuasive speech.
This week our class was working on speeches to take part of a speech competition, in front of our school. We decided to make a copy of a template to get started on making a speech, by using the 5 important body parts of a speech, introduction, body paragraph 1, body paragraph 2, counterargument, and conclusion. The way we want our speeches to be like, is like a speech with meaningful expression, pause, eye contact, known from your heart, and true information. Next when we filled up the template with our writing skills to make a speech, we started to make cue cards. We started to make cue cards by making 2×3 tables on a Google doc to print it out, so when it gets printed, we will cut it out, looking like cards to, the fact that we made cue cards, is to speak our speech even if we haven’t memorised it or not. After we did that we used a web named Adobe Express, we used it to erase the noise from the background while recording. After that we got into groups of 4’s and 5’s to test the cue cards out when it was printed, we tested it just by using highlights, the red highlight means to use expression and the green highlight means to pause for a breath. When we finished telling our speeches, we voted for 1 person in each group to be in the finals, which our lucky talented competitors that were voted, was Aliyan, Melle, Lisea, Siniva, Louis, and Dalilah. When we finished listening to their fabulous speeches, we took a break to save our work for next week.
I found this activity challenging because it took me a while to learn my speech, even though I didn’t get voted to be in the finals, I’m still proud.
