Recounts are awesome. Your experiences can be told in words to capture your readers and take them on a journey with you.
Task - Write a recount about the most exciting time you have had in school.

Every moment i had at school was exciting. But I really did enjoy the google goggles. It was one of the great times i had at school throughout the year 2015.

The reason why i really enjoyed it was because every direction my eyes turned i was looking at a volcano, or ( e.g ) flying in space or swimming with sea creatures.

Speech writing is a very valuable skill. When you have the ability to write speeches you can argue your way through your words. Lawyers do that all the time.
Task - Write a one-minute speech about one of these topics
  • Glenbrae School should change its uniform
  • Students should be allowed to bring any food they want to school
  • Driving skills should be taught at primary school
  • Glenbrae should have a cafeteria in the hall

For those who don’t know me my name is Whitney and I'm a year 8 students at glenbrae school. And I'm here today to say my opinion on our school uniform dress code. Some students sometimes have no shoes or bags. We could make our own logo on a bag or shoes. Moving on to glenbrae shirts. Besides polo shirts why not wear a collared shirt, without long sleeves, but short. And pants we could just wear shorts.

  1. This is a good start to your speech Whitney. Remember it has to be a one minute long speech. Trying saying your speech out loud and timing yourself.
