It’s hard to believe that there’s only two weeks left of the school year. You wouldn’t know it from everything we’ve been up to! It’s Speech Fest time again!! We've been spending time in class coming up with good ideas, writing drafts, giving & receiving meaningful feedback, making revisions and practicing our speeches. Here's an example of our peer assessment: That’s a lot of work!! Our first speech presentations have begun and it’s been great to hear such a variety of different topics, including 5 secrets of Disneyland, the mystery surrounding Malaysian Airlines flight 370 and life with twin brothers. Speeches will continue next week so stay tuned! We’ve just finished learning about Data Analysis & Probability, so we had fun exploring different First Peoples games that use chance. Our favourite was "Picaria," a game that requires problem solving and critical thinking as you try to outwit your opponent. After participating in a variety of different improvisation activities in class and being audience members at a high school drama performance, we've realized that drama involves taking creative risks! We've also learned the importance of facial expressions, body language and tone of voice when trying to convey a message. It was time for us to become actors – and to show what we’ve learned. All of our scripts were mock trials – and we had a variety of different familiar characters, including Humpty Dumpty (suing the King for the personal injuries from his fall), Luke Skywalker (charged with destruction of the Death Star), Superman (charged with mischief) and Harry Potter (charged with second degree murder of Professor Quirrel). It was great to see everyone take on their roles, accompanied by costumes, accents…and a great sense of humour.
