Speeches- Tips on what not to do!

We have begun speeches time! We are all excited about having the chance to stand up in front of our class and practice writing and performing our speeches before our real one in a few weeks time. We hope to have a few from Room 11 go through to the Middle Syndicate finals and maybe even the school speech finals.
Today we watched this clip which showed us some tips on what not to do when performing our speech.

After watching it we realised that we need to;
Talk clearly and speak up (Alex)-Otherwise you don’t know what they are saying (Tawhiao)
Look at the audience, eye contact (Maggie)- Because if you don’t the audience won’t see your face you look silly and it is not very interesting for the audience to look at a piece of paper (Paarth)
Don’t use um’s and ah’s (Faye)-Makes your speech sound silly (Sarah) It doesn’t sound interesting (Gina)  The audience can’t concentrate or focus on your message (Alex)
Don’t talk too fast (Samuel) – They can’t hear you or your message (Tawhaio)
