Getting+your+ideas+out+there!



Speaking to a group can be terrifying. However, it is an amazing feeling to finish speaking to an audience and know you have done your very best. The secret to successful public speaking is preparation!

We are going to spend some time in class working on the techniques you will use in your speeches, how you can get more confidence and how to structure your speech.

Many of you will be involved in Manu Korero which is being hosted at Aranui at the end of term 2. If you wish to compete in this competition, you must choose one of the Manu Korero topics. To compete in the English section of the competition you must be of Maori descent (Everyone can compete in the Te Reo categories - see Matua Tihi for help!).

We will also be having a school speech competition in week 6 of the term. To enter this competition, you will be nominated by your classroom teachers.

=__**Topics for your speeches:** __=

Junior speeches must be between 3-6 minutes long. Seniors must check their speech length with the NCEA suggested limits.
