Talking Circle!
It is a privilege to welcome Pam Peristy, our Indigenous Liaison,
to Ecole Ness!
6-1 will participate in five Talking Circles with Pam
to build community and learn more about Indigenous culture.
CFOO!
In Français, we have started CFOO (Le Club Fabuleux des Orateurs et Oratrices)!
There are fifteen different presentations, separated into three categories: Research, Opinion and Creativity.
For the first presentation, students must choose one of the five Opinion options. They will then prepare their short oral presentation, fulfilling all of the criteria (listed on the page they have in their binder).
Students should also keep in mind eye contact, volume and expression during their presentation.
The presentation could take on various forms: a speech, a poster, a puppet play, etc. - the possibilities are endless!
The first CFOO will take place on Wednesday, October 23rd.

Speechtastic!
This year in English Language Arts, students will participate in Speechtastic,
where, by preparing different short speeches, they will improve their
speaking skills, develop their listening skills and use their
creativity!
Their first speech of the year is an Impromptu Speech, a speech given with little preparation. Each student will give Mme McKenzie three possible topics. She will randomly choose one and the student will have to present their speech on the spot. What is most important is to speak clearly and calmly, without long pauses, umms or misused 'likes'.
