Find the feedback items that you think are valid and work on them. Many of you indicated you would like some powerpoint photos playing while you are speaking. I am happy to put these together for you but you need to bring the photos to school by Thursday for me to do this. You can either email them to whareama@xtra.co.nz or whareamaseniorroom@gmail.com or bring them on a CD or memory stick.

__Your speech__ **- you should have finished the writing stage of this now. If you can type your speech would be great as it makes the editing stage much easier. Save your speech onto a CD, flash drive or email it to** whareamaseniorroom@gmail.com **and we can print it at school.**

20 May 2010 onwards

<span style="color: #5200ff; display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Speeches - the school speech competition is on Friday 18 June. You have discussed what your speech will be about with Mrs Fairbrother and she has helped you to make a draft plan of what your speech will contain. Try to spend 10 minutes a night working on writing and 'performing' your speech. Remember a good speech has impact, variety, voice fluctuations, and a main point or two. You need to appear confident to your audience, and try to hook them into what you are talking about.
