I have a dream...

Hi!

We are having a Yaldhurst speech competition later in the term so we need to get our speeches ready to present.

When Miss Rennell told us we were going to begin our learning on speeches this year I felt nervous for the presenting part and I remembered some of my past speeches.

Before we start learning and creating our speeches we had a task to train our brain.

To set up our mindset for speeches we used the six tools in our past mental toughness toolkit. (Positive thinking, Goal Setting, Attentional Control, Visualisation - The Drawing, Anxiety Control and Self Awareness)

We used google drawings to make a DLO using those things.

Here is my dream for how it will go...

While making this drawing I was thinking about what tips I would need for our speeches.

The hardest part for me during speeches is going to be presenting it since I don't like talking in front of audiences.

The easiest part is going to be writing the speech once I think of a good topic.

I chose these tips for myself because I think that these are important for when I am writing my speech.

Do you have any useful tips for writing speeches?

Have you ever had to write and present a speech?

If yes, what do you think was the hardest or easiest part?

If you are writing a comment on this blog post, here are some helpful sentence starters if you want to use them.

POSITIVE: The interesting part was...

THOUGHTFUL: You brought me back to when...

HELPFUL: To improve, you could...

Don't forget to ask or answer any questions!

Until next time...

Bye!
