This week I have been doing speeches with mrs Pageot for the trial of the Waimairi School speech competition. I have been learning to use the power of three, language features, strong vocabulary and much more.
I am going well because I am at multi-relational, I have got to this stage by using many language features and I have connected some of them. I am finding the ideas easy because I knew what I had to write about but I also made up some things in the speech. I am finding the structuring hard because I have to do certain things in each structure: beginning, middle and end. I have overcome this challenge by getting help from Mrs Pageot and my friends. The fact that I got a good quality speech surprised me because I managed to get lots of short sentences all with the power of three and language features including idioms, metaphors etc. Next time I would connect all of the language features together to get to relational.
The key competency I have been working on is self managing by avoiding distractions, I have achieved this by sitting in a place where my friends weren't.
