Term Reflection - Highlights

My term reflection - this term has been such a great term! So sad that it is now over. My biggest highlight is ... 


Highlights - one of my highlights is when I started hanging out with Lily, Keira and Nicole. I have made even more friends now. I have been doing a little more work in extension maths, which is always good. We are now learning about probability.

Speech Reflection



Kia ora,
Ko Zahra toku ingoa
Ko Homework, right. Most people hate it. And.. same. I am here to elaborate the reasons kids of this generation, (like me) should not do homework. So here i am speaking on behalf of basically every kid ever about not doing homework.
                           1.

Kids might already be super busy with other things so at the start of the year i was quite a busy person. On monday i had netball practise on tuesday swimming tech wednesday guitar netball game choir thursday pe friday elective.
2.



So throughout the week i had to do things for my elective, guitar practise, chores, i was also learning a few languages. I had trips which put me behind in other work. Which meant i basically had no time for myself let alone homework. and i know there are kids even more busier than that. And i don't know how they do it

                           3.

We already do enough work at school and we need to be outside playing and BEING KIDS! my opinion is that we do enough work at school. And when we get home that is the time we get to be kids. And we shouldn't be on devices 24/7, and some people can't get home and do homework because their parents work later than others. Like i know someone who’s mum doesn’t get home until 5.
                                4.



Basically when we get home that the only time during work days that we can go outside and play and socialize.
so in conclusion i want to put my opinion out there that kids should not be doing homework.

I wouldn't keep anything to be honest.







I would change just about everything. Detail, editing, the topic the list goes on.
Lily kept her conclusion

Lily would make it longer

Add
(What further ideas and/or detail would you add to your speech? Were you persuasive enough - what do you peers think?)
Chuck
(What are some of the parts of your speech you would scrap?)
I would add a lot more detail to my speech. Expression, cue cards, comedic references.






I would chuck the points and add in new ones. Or keep them and just add new ones.
This is my speech and reflection.
