As part of our study of percentages, students chose a survey question to ask their classmates. They then converted the answers into fractions, decimal numbers and percentages.

Speechtastic!

It's time for another Speechtastic!

This time, students are preparing a Persuasive Speech. They have chosen a topic and are planning a 2-5 minute speech to convince the audience of their opinion. They should be sure to have an introduction, a middle (with all their arguments supported by details) and a conclusion.

Students are reminded to add their personality and really make the speech their own!

Presentations are Wednesday, May 8th and Thursday, May 9th.

The Great Math Hunt

This morning in Math, students hunted around the class for eggs. 
Each egg contained a math question or problem to solve. 

CFOO!

In Français, it's time for another CFOO (Le Club Fabuleux des Orateurs et Oratrices)! 

This is a public speaking "club" that will help students improve their oral French skills through short speeches.
This time around, students can choose any one of the presentation options that they have not already presented. They will prepare their short oral presentation, fulfilling all of the criteria (listed on the page they have in their binder).
Students should also keep in mind eye contact, volume and expression during their presentation.

The CFOO Presentations will take place on Wednesday, April 24th.
