  • gather, generate and organize ideas

The Learning Task

Previously you were asked to determine the criteria for an award for yourself. When you receive an award you often make a speech when you accept it.

Your turn! Write an acceptance speech for the award you created for yourself.

When writing an acceptance speech it is useful to consider:

  • the purpose of your speech (gratitude for being recognized)
  • the tone you would like your speech to covey (serious, humorous)
  • the audience (who will be hearing your speech)

Don’t forget to think about the impactful ways you might use oral language to enhance your message.

Daily task! Don’t forget to engage with your Writer’s Notebook: Creating a Place for Reflection
