any help at all would be greatly appreciated

i hate speeches.
i always get marked down.
anyways.
i was wondering if anyone could help me with this speech i have to do...
i dont really understand it.
i think the word speech throws me completly off task...


i have to present my ideas on aspects of belonging
explain what my texts (the simple gift and the boy in the striped pjs.) say about belonging.
and explore how the texts depict belonging.

any help would be muchly appreciated.
thanks a bunch.

What do you actually want? Help is a vague, vague word.

What makes that different from an essay? You're complaining about speeches, and how you get marked down for speeches - but you have to do those exact same things in an essay.

yes im aware of this...
but essays you dont have to read out infront of an audience do you?
and i get marked down for the speaking part, have you noticed teachers dont collected your speech, they dont read whats in it.

Then it's your speech technique.
Speaking clearly, keeping eye contact, appropriate gestures if applicable, etc

Teachers don't collect your script because they mark based on what they can understand from what you say when you make the speech. Hence it's crucial to speak clearly and distinctively.

Hmmm, gee, I wonder why I didn't think of this earlier.....

Hmmm, maybe it's cause you said this:
