Not long to go!!!!

We have been working really hard on our speeches in Room 5 and most of us have finished writing them. We have been using the 'S.E.X.Y' format (Statement, Example, Explanation, Your Opinion) to write each paragraph and are now ready to memorise our speeches and practice speaking in front of others. Our practice with impromptu speaking has helped with our confidence speaking in front of peers. Lets have a look at the assessment schedule and see what we will be marked on.
