Learning Observed

Ormiston primary were holding their second  Speech competition this year  for Year 5 and 6 learners but Selestine wanted to write a speech and present it even though she knew she couldn’t  enter the competition. The genre selected for this year was persuasive writing. During Term 2 the “Quick Write” sessions that happen after first iBreak were focussed on developing persuasive writing techniques so Selestine had gained lots of skills for writing to persuade a person to consider her viewpoint, and was very capable at stating her opinion and then supporting her ideas with additional details. She practiced considering both pros and cons of arguments. This is challenging when you don’t agree with a statement. Selestine didn’t make the deadline but she did persevere and complete her speech and present it to her hapu group. Selestine decided she wanted to persuade her audience that “kids should not be paid to do chores”  Selestine is passionate about this as it directly connects with her family ethics and their common understanding of every member having fanau responsibilities. She presented her speech to  her hapu group in a breakout space. She didn’t have her cue cards and so used her device and scrolled down the text. You can open the link to read the feedback and feedforward below and watch her video. She connected to her audience with her vivacious facial expressions and intonation of her voice.
