Speeches

Last Monday we started working on our 'at school' speeches, which you will now need to write at home. We brainstormed possible topics, and you all chose a topic and started your research or planning.


Over the next couple of days, you could continue with these. I know for some of you your planning is at school in your writing book, so if you want to start a new speech then that is okay.


Please feel free to email your speeches to me if you would like me to give you any feedback.
