Great idea for speeches

Here are some great ways to gain confidence when practising your speeches:
1. Use a mirror so you can watch yourself and make sure you are glancing up regularly for eye contact.

2. Ask a parent, friend or sibling to watch you and give feedback about your body language, eye contact, pace and volume. This is also a great way to get feedback about whether your speech flows and makes sense.

3. Use an iPad, iPhone or camera to film yourself so you can watch yourself to see where you can improve.


4. Last, but not least. You all MUST time yourselves to check your speech will go for 2-4 minutes. If your speech goes for 2 minutes on the dot or less you will need to add extra information to your speech. This is because when people get nervous they speak quicker and therefore your speech won't go for as long when you present it on Monday or Tuesday.


You all made a fantastic start last week and I cannot wait to see everyone's speeches next week. Best of luck to all of you boys, but I know you won't need it! :)
