What fun we all had at “Down by the Riverside”! The weather, the company, and the learning couldn’t have worked out better!
Our final speech of the year will be in two weeks. Today students began organizing their speeches titled “Down by the Riverside”. Most of them took their note cards home on Friday. Students are to practice their speeches at home and be ready by Tuesday, May 26 to present.
If your child didn’t go to “Down by the Riverside”, the note cards for the speech, will need to be completed at home this week. The topic will have to of course be different. If your child attended a different year, it’s ok to write about a different “Down by the Riverside” year. The speech could be about a favorite trip that your child took. The speech needs an introduction (clearly stating the topic, important events during the field trip (or trip), favorite and least favorite parts, and a conclusion.
*Students will be scored on:
1. Having a beginning, middle, and an ending.
2. Tell details about your trip.
3. Using appropriate language (grammar)
4. Giving the audience eye contact.
5. Speaking loud enough for the audience to hear.
5. Keeping the body from fidgeting.
Reading logs are due on Thursday.
Sincerely,
Ginny Ryan
