The 2011 MYP Classroom Speech Competition Standings<br />
What is the purpose of a Speech Competition? This was the final<br />
question I asked my students this week, concluding months of speech<br />
preparations and a week of truly inspiring student presentations. I received<br />
many answers in each class, including: to learn from each other, to have the<br />
chance to speak about our ideas and opinions in front of an audience, to<br />
improve our public speaking skills, to improve our writing, and to gain<br />
confidence. It wasn’t once, in any of these discussions, that anyone mentioned<br />
anything about the ‘competition.’<br />
I am impressed. I am impressed that our students understand that, more<br />
than the results below, the significance of this annual <strong>Southpointe</strong> tradition lies<br />
in its value as a learning process; from others and from ourselves. Any of the<br />
students can tell you that, with reference to the criteria of Topic, Organization,<br />
Volume, Vocal Expression, Eye Contact and Body Control, many of the speeches<br />
we heard last week were great. The Gold and Silver standings below represent<br />
those few speeches that rose above this in all or most of these categories.<br />
It is with this message that I am very proud to announce the 2011 Gold and<br />
Silver Standing MYP students. We will be cheering for you on <strong>Mar</strong>ch 7 th , at the<br />
school competition!<br />
