Get ready for your speech
This is to prepare for the lesson of Tuesday, October 6th.
Follow the link to practice repeating your speech.
Remember: stress the same words as the model, and respect the pauses.
Use your ‘English is Music’ worksheet to do further work on sounds /e/ and /ei/ just like we did in class.
BONUS for the BRAVEST: if you’re interested, you can watch the speech you’re working on. It is at the very beginning of Dead Poets Society (it lasts about 3 mins)
Stressing words
This is to prepare the lesson of Friday, October 2nd.
You should use your Welcome to Welton Academy worksheet to do this.
Use the online dictionary for English learners and check the stress placement for the words in your worksheet.
Here is an example for you:
The three dots indicate the number of syllables. The blue dot means that the syllable is stressed. Here, for the word gentleman: the first syllable is stressed.
Do the same with all the words, and practice reapeating them with the help of the recording
In this class, you will practice repeating the speech aloud with the correct prononciation.
