Learning Observed

This term our learners developed their capabilities in speech writing. Melissa participated in workshops to plan, write, edit and present her speech.  The learners were introduced to persuasive language, speech organisation and effective speaking skills & strategies.  Melissa used feedback provided by the Learning Coaches and her peers to make improvements to her overall performance.  The use of a google document allowed Mrs Hooker and Ms Wilkes to provide ongoing feedback to the learners regarding their speech content, organisation and persuasive writing.   Melissa collaborated with other learners to practice and apply her presentation and speaking skills.  The learners used iPads to record each other speaking and used these recordings to observe, notice and make changes to their volume, pace, eye contact, body language and overall confidence.   With support and guidance Melissa was able to share her knowledge and use appropriate language to inform the audience.   It was great to see Melissa practice and apply her public speaking skills to develop an overall capability both at speaking and writing to inform.  Ka pai!
