Why hello there! We’re here today to share with you some of the writing the students have created for their award ceremony speeches. Students were given (joke) awards as a prize for the end of their speech and presentation book.
Our students have finished their speech and presentations course. I’m thrilled that they have completed this challenge, they’re now ready to present in front of thousands of people!
For this final project, students interviewed their partner, chose an appropriate award for their partner, then presented their chosen award. The students also wrote an acceptance speech for the award that they received.
