Dear Parents
Last week you will have received an information booklet outlining our Public Speaking event for Term 3. I trust that you have had a chance to read through it.
I have explained and outlined the event for the students and added an activity to this week's Home Learning Grid to help them get started. The Home Learning grid provides an overview of speech preparation process for the next few weeks.
Step 1: Week 4 - This week I would like students to discuss with parents their ideas for potential speech topics. The topic should be something they are passionate about (important to them) on which they can provide an opinion and encourage and explain how it can benefit others. The length of the speech is between 1.5 - 2 minutes which means some researched facts to support their opinion are necessary.
Step 2: Week 4 & 5 - Bring topic idea and notes to school on Thursday 16 August to commence speech writing plan. Students will be provided with two (2) speech writing sessions (Week 4 and 5).
Step 3: Week 5 & 6 - Students will bring home their speech for edits, transfer onto palm cards and practice at the end of Week 5. Practice at home Week 6.
Step 4: Week 7 - Students will deliver their speech in class in Week 7. Please refer to the marking rubric in the information booklet. Two students from the class will be chosen for the finals in Week 8.
Step 5: Week 8 - The two chosen students will present the same speech in an 'Assembly' round.
I hope this information is helpful for you to encourage and support your child in this public speaking event. If you have any questions please send me an email via the school office (bayviewoffice@stlukes.nsw.edu.au).
Kind regards
Wendy Lucas
