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.

Remember we talked about the different ways of writing a speech and what needs to be in it. [Click on the image below to watch these video clips].
