Over the past few weeks we’ve been participating in Speech Fest!! We spent time in class brainstorming and then picking a speech topic, writing our first draft, receiving feedback and then using that feedback to make revisions. After writing our speeches, we then practised before sharing our speeches with the class. It was great to see so many topics. Some were informational, teaching us about “homelessness”,” choosing the right pet” and “different positions in basketball.” Some were personal, such as “my bestie” and “being the oldest” and others were persuasive, such as “recess should be longer” and “taking different subjects at school.” Although several of us were nervous, we persevered with a growth mindset and confidently shared our speeches.
