As a class we came up with some criteria to guide ourselves while speaking:
- We will use good volume by being not too loud and not to soft.
- We will be confident in our delivery.
- We will be clearly spoken. This could be ensuring we are well practiced, use clearly formed words and try not to hesitate during our speech.
- We will face the audience.
- We will use eye contact with all of our audience.
- We will be enthusiastic.
- We will use both body and vocal expression in our speeches. By using things like gesture, movement and facial expression.
- We will try to make our speech interesting to our audience. It should be well written and may contain humour, questions, controversy, quoatations and facts or weird things to hook the audience.
We will be using video to analyse our work. Here are the first samples we will try posting:
It would be most helpful to these children if you could post constructive feedback in relation to our class criteria - Be sure to say which clip or person you are talking to.
