My Speech

 WALT present a persuasive speech.

What did you do well? saying the speech and it turned out

GREAT!!! it was making nervous but I did it. in the end I was really happy.

What do you need to work on for next time? Not laughing to much.

Adding action. Adding more expropriation.

What was your overall feeling about your speech experience? Weird like there was butterfly's in my stomach. Here is my speech. The voting age should be lowered to age 12 and up 

Introduction:   

Tortola lava. Today I am going to talk about the voting age. There is an election coming up at the end of October and at the moment the voting age is 18!  I think it should be lowered down to age 12 because do you want to wait to vote until you’re 18? I certainly do NOT!!! 

Children have challenges and problems in their life that they face everyday.  Children can change the world.  

Firstly, If I could change anything by increasing the number of police so there is less crime and so the people are safe and by doing that we have increase the money because the lower the money is the less people will want to sign up. So the shootouts will be smaller and robberies will be less.      

Kids are very clever. They know a lot about science. If they could vote, they might be able to encourage the government to make a vaccine for covid 19 and other viruses.  

Creating equipment for jobs creating new jobs to fix the plastic problem. Did you know? Every second a plastic bag or bottle etc is being made. Kids can stop more pollution in the air and in the ocean. We can have  more schools, hospitals, hand sanitizer bottles, electric cars and less polluting.         

Making new entertainment things like basketball, soccer and rugby. Here is a new one that I made up speed this is how you play. You run around in a maze with a paintball gun and there are other people in the maze and if you get shot on the pad on the chest you are out.   

Thirdly, you can make people happier and make our country even better! Our earth even better, soul, friends, family and the  community!  If I could vote I would vote people should stop doing crime and then we would have a better planet. 

That is why the voting age should be lowered to age 12 and up.

Problem Solving

WALT solve word problems using different strategies.

What did you do well? the math questions. What was tricky? I don't

I don't believe it!

WALT use our reading strategies to find information in the text and explain it to others. Before you go to sleep at night, do check under your bed for monsters? If you do, don't worry you're not the only one! People everywhere tell stories about monsters. some monsters are huge and scary creatures that roam the countryside. Others lie in wait in caves or rivers ready to grab anyone who comes to close. Some monsters look frightening but can be caring and friendly. Here are two examples.

My first favorite is the kraken because I like octopus and big things. many sailors feared  kraken because they swallow huge ships [that was a metaphor] and destroy anything in the way but now they are extinct because it is also folktale. my second favorite  monster is the dragon because some breathe fire and ice some have powerful wings. In england, there are stories about Saint George, a brave knight who rode out to fight a dragon that was terrifying people all over countryside. However, not all dragons are bad. chinese dragons look fierce but many people say they bring good luck On special
