Speeches

Doing a speech

In Room 17/18 we are looking at doing speeches, but only seven out of fifty six chose to do one though. For me, I thought that doing a speech would be a great learning experince, and somthing I could put my mind to and finish. (I tend to forget most big things I'm ment to do) I also wanted to do it to raise awareness about buying product with palm oil in it, So you can guess I'm doing a Argument. I wonder how many people buy nutella? You can suvive without it. But one thing, orangutans can NOT live without their forests, so whats more inpoartant? Saving the orangutans or eating nutella with your sandwhich? Thats one of the reasons why It needs to stop.

Procedural Text

Learning about procedural text

Lately room 17/18 have been learning about procedural text . Loads of people didn't know what it even was at first , Including me ! A n example of a procedural text is a process , for example a instruction manual or  a recipe . After we understood what a procedural text was , we got to write our own . We were given a breif instructing us to create a recipe. I based mine on making chocolate milk because it is a simple recipe to create a delicious drink. You also only need two ingredints - milk and drinking chocolate. Another way of making chocolate milk would be to make hot chocolate and putting it in the fridge (I think that would work ...) to cool it down . But the way I make it it is faster and you do not have to put it in the fridge after ! Lots of people did smoothies and other drinks , but not everyone did drinks . Lots of people knew a recipe for pancakes by heart , and a few people did porrage !
