Public speaking evening - Isabella Afonso

On the 20th of June a few of our grade 6 and 7 public speakers participated in an unprepared public speaking evening at WHPS along with several other schools. The grade 6 speakers and grade 7 speakers were split up as there were a lot of students participating . Each grade was then given 4 topics to chose from along with about 10 minutes to figure out what they wanted to say and write out ideas on cue cards.

 Each speaker was evaluated on their presentation and content of their speech  and were given a mark. All the speeches were above standard and were presented eloquently. After everyone presented their speeches they received their rubric and certificate.

 

 From there they were treated with a cup of hot chocolate and were able to go to the dinning hall to talk with their fellow contestants! These types of festivals are great ways to practise your speaking skills and to learn from other students.
