Monday - Period 2

In preparation for your upcoming Speech Assessment Task, we will take a look at the presentation criteria for the task and discuss the areas of eye contact, voice modulation, volume, pace, pauses, and body language/gestures.  Then to put this into practise you will each be given a topic on which you will speak to the class for 45 seconds, concentrating on using each of the above elements to engage your audience.

To complete our 'Art of Rhetoric' unit, you will complete a reflection sheet to consider your learning about rhetoric.

Monday - Period 2 & Wednesday - Period 3

To consolidate what we have done so far we will take a look at the subject specific terminology list for this unit and clarify our understandings of the terms encountered to date.
