My speech

18/24  🙂

 

My literacy class had just done doing speeches and after I managed to finish my one I got my score. It was 18/24, honestly I don’t think I did THAT bad overall. What I could work on though is not pausing while I’m reading my speech. I felt pretty good in the moment, I was pretty confident.  At the start everyone was pretty nervous, but (Not looking up on myself of course) I wasn’t really nervous. I was the 4th one to say my speech, but I was the first boy to go up and do it, at least that’s something to be proud of. I even got a complement from the teacher for my confidence.

 

 

Overall I felt good about my speech.

 

 

The hitchhiker – My script

 

*Scene at the arcade* 

 

Narrator: After playing all those games I feel like playing that new game that they installed.

 

Narrator: I think it’s about shooting dinosaurs or something.

 

Hitchhiker: uhh gov’nor- 

 

Narrator: Yeah, just think about it, it only costs us 5 dollars to play and it’s new.

 

Hitchhiker: uhh guv’nor-

 

Narrator: Yea? 

 

Hitchhiker: You know we’re right in the middle of the arcade right?

 

Narrator: Yes, I know.

 

Hitchhiker: And you know that we were supposed to be right across the street right?

 

Narrator: Huh?

 

Narrator: What do you mean?

 

Hitchhiker: The only reason I’m here is because you wanted to go shoppin 

 

Narrator: Oh right, I guess I got sidetracked.

 

Hitchhiker: Ye, Tis right guv’nur, it’s 5pm already. 

 

Narrator: 5PM?!?!?!

 

Hitchhiker: Yes 5PM, and I wasn’t here just to play some childish games guv’nor.

 

Narrator: Can we just play one more game?

 

Hitchhiker: We? Nah, you can play by yourself. 

 

Narrator: Why? Don’t you like playing arcade games?

 

Hitchhiker: Nah, I just think it’s a waste of money and time.

 

*Narrator goes to the new game*

 

Narrator: Hey!

 

Hitchhiker: What happened? I thought you were going to play that new game.

 

Narrator: uhm no I just felt uhh, Bored.

 

Hitchhiker: You just don’t have that much money aye guv’nor.

 

Narrator: No, I just uhm , no I – I, ok you got me I got no money.

 

Hitchhiker: And you prolly, need my help to pickpocke-, I mean use my fingersmithing abilities to get you more money.

 

Narrator: Yes, basically.

Hitchhiker: Aye guv’nor, guess what?

 

Narrator: *Wakes up* *Yawns* what?

 

Hitchhiker: You slept.

 

Narrator: Tell me something I don’t already know.  

 

Hitchhiker: And guess what else?

 

Narrator: What?

Hitchhiker: Thanks guv’nor I’d like the very much.

This week for literacy we are focusing on identifying character traits. The book that we are analysing is a book called the hitchhiker (By Roald Dahl). It is basically about 2 people who are in car that get to know each other as the story progresses. The character traits I got for the Narrator are – Brave, Kind and trusting.
Hitchhiker – Sneaky, Dishonest and Likeable.
