Anyone doing speeches...? (1 Viewer)

Is anyone else in the world doing speeches other than my class???

If so, do you find them easy or hard?

We're also doing speeches as part of our 1/2 yearly. i hate em.
hate writin em, and morso hate getting up their and saying them. we do ours on friday, i've also been given the two hardest english teachers to mark my speech.

as you could prolly tell, i find them rather hard.

lol...just realised I needed to clarify that a bit more...

I meant the option topic "Speeches", including Socrates, Abraham Ljncoln, Emma Goldman etc. - I think we all have to do at least one speech for assessment tasks...

I did Donne's poetry

Out of curiosity - since a speech was specified last year, are you teachers getting you to know all of them?

 

[tieki]

Indeed they are...he recommended knowing three of them really well, and a basic knowledge of the rest, and he said they'll either specify a speech plus one or two more, or say refer to any three speeches...they're not too hard language-wise, but there's just so much to learn...poetry would have been much nicer

Finally someone else doing speeches.

I find them really easy cause I love the power of words and all that kind of shit. I heard that you should know each speech intimately cause they can choose any speech for you to talk indepth on.

I know...the language in them isn't all that hard, there's just soooo much to learn...and yes, we do really have to know each speech well, bcoz they can ask on any of them...our teacher didn't even teach us all of them yet - we missed Cicero and another two...said he'd teach us in term 3, closer to the HSC...

What sort of questions do you reckon we'll get asked about them? we got some questions in a past papers book the school did for us, but they're all pretty useless...

yeah we have to do a speech on the Explorers and Tempest for our half yearly! it's instead of an actual half yearly exam.
i don't know about anyone else, but i'd actually prefer a sit down exam where i just remember quotes and answer an essay question.

Wow..interesting stuff that ur school came up with we're doing a speech (not on the topic speeches) for our half yearly. I don't mind speeched but I prefer to write because I get better marks there whereas other ppl usually do better at speeches than me
