Speech Guidelines

How to make a speech.

• Focus on your message. Make sure you know what you talk about - be well prepared.
• Make eye-contact. Look for a friendly face near the center of the room and deliver your opening to that person. Then continually move your gaze around the room, giving each thought to a different person.
• Talk - don't read. Only use key-words in yourmanuscript.
• Body language. Be sure to act and move in a way that does not take focus away from your message.
• Speed. Don't talk too fast. If you make eye-contact with your listeners you will be able to see that they can follow you.
• Be precise. Don't use verbal fillers such as "um", "uh" and "you know". Instead, pause silently.
• Surprise your listeners. Don't start by saying "I'm going to talk about global warming..." Say, "Global warming does not exist. It is invented by the media."
• Last words. Save your best material until the end of your speech. Your listeners will remember your last words best.
• Quote someone. Give somebody else's opinion about the topic of your speech. Remember to state this person's name and the source where you got the information from.
• Repeat. Say your most important points several times.
• A circle. Your speech is like a circle. What you say at the beginning and at the end should connect.

Good luck!

English year 6

This week we'll begin watching the series Family Foster. Here you will meet Keith and his daughter Julia as they travel to different English speaking countries. This week we will follow them on their trip to South Africa. While watching we will gather words and phrases which we think might be useful.

We will also begin our preparations for the National tests in English, focusing on the spoken part of the test.
This means no homework this week! But on the other hand I need you to be as active in class as you can be! There is only one way (NO short cuts) to practice speaking English, and that is of course by speaking ;)

We'll lear more about the city which is also called The Big Apple, and what life as a teenager is like there.
Later in the week it's time for you to pick the place to which you like to travel! You already know a bit about Los Angeles, Louisiana and soon New York, but for more inspiration, please visit the website below.

While preparing for your trip, and while travelling, you'll find your instructions under the label Time to travel (in the right margin). The overall instructions can be found on Edwise, but also in this link.

I wish you all a safe journey!

Different stories

Welcome back to school class 9B! We'll kick start your final year with a small music project called Different Stories. Here you'll find the instructions for the next three weeks. Please read the instructions and bring any questions to class on Monday.

To complete the assignment you need to watch, and carefully listen to the songs below.

Best of luck!

Desert Island

The pupils in class 8B are starting up a new project - Desert Island. For this project you will need a phone/iPad with which you can record shorter films and later e-mail them.
You will also need to choose a partner whom you'll work closely with during this project. Choose wisely! Your partner will both assist you while filming and assess your work according to the peer assessment sheey you have been given in class.

Please watch the videos below, and also click on the link to access further information.

Descriptive writing

Here's some tips on how to write descriptively. Increase your vocabulary and challenge yourself to use other words than those you are the most familiar with.

Just to clarify...

Part 1

• I ett gemensamt worddokument, skriv svaren på frågorna till varje låt + översättningen av glosorna. Maila sedan till mig via BUF.
• I ett eget worddokument, skriv sammanfattning av alla tre låtarna och maila sedan till mig via BUF.

Part 2

• Arbeta nu enligt instruktionerna med din egen låt och skicka sedan till mig via Edwise. Glöm emellertid inte att först få feed-back på din text från din partner samt göra vissa förändringar/förbättringar utefter vad som blivit sagt.

Podcaster

For our upcoming assignment Speech, you need to download the app Podcaster. It's available in both AppStore and Play.
