Speechtastic!
This year in English Language Arts, students will participate in Speechtastic,
where, by preparing different short speeches, they will improve their
speaking skills, develop their listening skills and use their
creativity!
Their first speech of the year is an Impromptu Speech, a speech given with little preparation. Each student will give Mme McKenzie three possible topics. She will randomly choose one and the student will have to present their speech on the spot. What is most important is to speak clearly and calmly, without long pauses, umms or misused 'likes'.
