Our Week 5 of Term 3

Speech Reflection - Home Learning Week 5

This week a number of Room 2 Students presented their speeches to the class.  This was a very nerve racking experience for many but I am so super proud of them all for getting up there and giving it their best.  For our reflection this week, answer the following questions about delivering your speech.  If you haven't delivered yours yet then perhaps write a comment about how you are feeling, what do you think you have been doing well in practise and what are you going to try and remember to do next week.

1.  How do you think your speech delivery went?

2.  What do you think you did well?

3.  What would you change about your speech if you were to do this very speech topic again?

Home Learning Week 5

Watch video on the blog -  Be a more confident public speaker and take on board what it talks about in preparation for your speech this week.  Comment on the post with one goal/focus that you are going to try really hard to do this week when you give your speech.

Our Week 4 Of Term 3

Lion Sleeps Tonight Acapella Style

After listening to the original version of The Lion Sleeps Tonight at Team Time today I was reminded of some really effective versions of this song that I have shown my classes in the past when we were looking at the style of Acapalla.  Have a listen to these videos and see if you 

 comment below what you think Acapalla is and how this is effective.  Another great example of this is in the Pitch Perfect movies.

Reflecting on Week 4

Using your reflective thinking skills, reflect back on Week 4 in Room 2.

Write it on the post as a comment. Have a great weekend :)

Home Learning Week 4

Watch this video titled 'Respect Each Other' and observe all that this man does. Note how small the gesture is that he makes sometimes but how big the effect is.

What was the message of this video?  

How did this man feel in the end, for all that he does?  

How does this impact on him as a person - make a difference?
