Each spring, our school has a school oratory. Grade 6 is the first year that students participate in the oratory. Each student is writing a speech on the given topic, "If I were leader of the free world, the first issue I would address would be...". Our classroom speakoff is on Tuesday, March 15 and Wednesday, March 16. I have divided the work up into three sections and due dates, as follows:
Wednesday, March 2- Rough Draft due
Wednesday, March 9- Final Draft due
Tuesday, March 15- Classroom Speakoff (Cue Cards Ready!)
Your child should have brought home a package outlining the assignment. We will have limited class time to work on the speech, so students should definitely plan to work on parts of this assignment at home. It will also be included on the report card mark in Language Arts. The top two students in each class will be chosen to participate in the school oratory contest on Wednesday, March 23 at 1:00pm.
Parents are encouraged to help by suggest ideas, helping in the revision and editing process, and encouraging lots of practice!
Thanks for your support, everyone! Happy speech writing!
