Emma did a very entertaining speech as part of the Talking and Listening Program at our school. Listen to this and try to remember some of the true blue Aussie sayings that are mentioned. See if you can find out the origin of one or two of them. Leave a comment with your findings.
4/5M and 4F watched Behind The News together and then prepared a response to one of the segments. 4F prepared and delivered an impromptu speech. Listen to them by clicking on the link below:
Task 1 this week is to comment on at least 3 posts in the speeches blog. The rules are easy you can comment on any three you like if there are no comments recorded, if however someone has commented on that speech you must choose another person who does not have any comments. When all speeches have a couple of comments then you are free to choose which ever one you want to comment on. This is a FAIR way to ensure everyone will have at least two comments to help them on their way with their speeches.
Task 2 Find the meaning of Elasticity, write your definition and some examples on the back of your homework sheet. Don’t forget to have your homework in on Thursday as I am at a Conference on Friday and would like to mark your work on the weekend.
This week you will need to start writing about a topic that interests you, write why it interests you , what you already know about the topic and things you want to find out about. This will be the starting point for your Speech. Your information should be typed and saved to your flash drive.
We will then upload them to blog called Speeches where everyone in the class will post their ideas. Over the next two weeks we will be commenting on each others work in class and on the blog, giving feedback or information to the writer.
Information needs to be at school by Friday 2nd May. Please make sure you give your post a title eg Gardening by Darren
