  1. I was so impressed with the speeches that all of you wrote! They addressed many important issues for our world today with positivity, enthusiasm, and determination. Thank you to all that were willing to deliver your speeches in front of the class. I am seeing great improvement in posture, volume, clarity, and expression!

  3. I did not read my speech to the class but I really did think that all of those speeches were really touching.It made you really want to do all of the helpful things to our enviorment that it said on some of the papers. I would think one of the best was the one that said help those to feed the hunger.I thought they showed some real problems too.

  7. Even though I read my speech aloud to the class, I thought that a lot of people did a wonderful job in their speeches. I definetly like the idea of stopping world hunger and the homeless. Great Job 5th Grade!
