Junior students have the choice to participate in our annual speech competition. In class,we complete oral presentations and work on our public speaking skills as part of many curriculum topics throughout the year. This speaking competition offers students an opportunity to further enrich or stretch their skills, as an extra-curricular activity, if they so choose. But until Grade 7/8, it is optional.
Students who choose to do a speech should consider the following success criteria:
My speech will be:
*3-5 minutes
*on a topic that is of interest to me and is school-appropriate
*well practiced (cue cards and mostly memorized so I can have lots of eye contact)
*presented with good eye contact, at a good pace and volume
Please note: Parents can certainly help their child with speech writing and preparation but the final product should sound like the student and the student should be able to answer questions on their topic with confidence and solid knowledge.
CLASSROOM SPEECHES: February 12
Winners go to Library: February 19th
