Grade 7 and 8 Speech Showcase
Over the past month, the Grade 7 and 8 students worked diligently to both author and present a speech in front of their teacher and peers. The Grade 7 students crafted a rant-style speech sharing some of their personal annoyances, while the Grade 8 students focused their writing on topics related to personal interest. All students are to be congratulated on their efforts as they all successfully navigated through the speech writing process and the trials and tribulations associated with learning how to speak effectively while in front of others.
Class speech presentations took place last Thursday, and 6 students earned a spot in the Speech Showcase, one student from each Grade 7 Homeroom class, and a First, Second, and Third place winner from Grade 8, to share their excellent work and well-rounded ability to command an audience.
The Showcase was another excellent opportunity for our students to celebrate their achievements and versatilities. The students who were chosen for this year’s Speech Showcase are commended for their talent and aptitude towards public speaking.
