Nelvin's Speech Learning Story

Learner: Nelvin     Learning Coach: T.Dillner           Date: 18.8.15

Learning Area: Literacy - Oral Language

Learning Observed

This term all learners in Learning Habitat 1 had to deliver a speech or a poem. As Nelvin is Year 5, he had to compose and present a speech. He chose to do his speech on War and how it affects us negatively. It is a nerve wracking thing to stand and deliver a speech to an audience of peers, but Nelvin showed he had confidence. I was impressed to hear Nelvin confidently present his speech as it was very well informed. He had practised a lot and was able to recall precise facts from his memory!

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Nelvin was assessed against all four of our Ormiston Primary Vision Principles. He was able to best demonstrate being connected to the audience by mostly using a clear voice with plenty of eye contact, capable by being able so knowledgeable about the topic and curious by selecting a topic that he was so incredibly passionate about.

Next Learning Steps

Practise in front of a mirror to work on eye contact and volume of voice. Video yourself and watch to self-assess. Seek feedback from other learners during planning and writing stages in order to increase collaboration.
