It allowed me to introduce an assignment that they will likely enjoy and also have a very good opportunity to achieve a very good mark.
They are to choose a favourite picture book and practise reading it aloud. We talked about how they can increase the interest level for the audience by altering their voices - sound, pace, and volume. We have library time tomorrow where they can select a book from the school or they may choose to use a book from home. I can help students select a book that will likely earn them a better mark based on the success criteria. (Some books are easier to add interest in a variety of ways than others.)
Practising at home with family members is strongly encouraged. Have fun with this assignment!
