April is a-comin' in!

Here we are well into April!  And here are your journals for April 6:

Drama 8:

What did you choose to use for your show and tell speech?  Explain why you chose it.  Remember, the speech MUST be two minutes long.  You must speak clearly and confidently and make eye contact with the audience.  You must try to engage the audience in what you're saying.  You should not start your speech with "so" or end it with "yeah".  Think of a little joke, or a question or a quote to start things out and end with a conclusion, like "this is what I learned from playing soccer" or "never forget your friends!" -- a way of wrapping up the theme of your speech.

Also, after we read the Aesop's Fables, choose a moral from one of the stories and write about how it applies to you.

It is time to write down your heritage story -- a story about an event that is important in your family history.  It can be anything -- it could be a little story that people always mention at family gatherings or it could be a hugely important event, like a war or a famous ancestor or a great achievement.  It is helpful if you provide details, like the names of the people involved, where the story takes place, the time period, etc.  Everyone needs to have a story to share.  They should be true.
