Ole hält Rede vor der ganzen Schule

Diesen Brief erhielten wir vorgestern von Oles Lehrer:

“Liebe Eltern,
wie Sie wahrscheinlich wissen, arbeiten die siebten Klassen zurzeit daran, überzeugende Reden auf Englisch zu schreiben und zu halten. Heute waren neun Schüler der siebten Klassen so mutig, ihre Rede vor sämtlichen Schülern und Lehrern der Middle School zu halten. Ich möchte sie für ihre fantastische Arbeit loben. Es zu wagen, vor einem derartig großen Publikum nach vorne zu gehen und zu reden kann selbst für den Besten unter uns sehr einschüchternd sein, aber alle nahmen ihren Mut zusammen und präsentierten ihre Arbeit selbstsicher und gewandt. Ihre Reden waren derartig gut, dass die Lehrerschaft noch während der Mittagspause über die einzelnen Themen weiterdiskutierte!

Mit freundlichen Grüßen,
Cassandra”

Two days ago we got this letter from Ole’s teacher:

“Dear Parents,

As you may know, the 7th graders have been working on persuasive writing/speeches in English at the moment. Today 9 of the 7th graders were brave enough to present their persuasive speech to the entire MYP at the assembly. I would just like to commend them on a fabulous effort. Standing up and speaking in front of such a large audience can be daunting for the best of us, yet they all summoned their courage and presented their work with poise and skill. So good was their work today that the teachers were talking about the various topics in the staff room over lunch!

So in summary I would like to recognize the efforts of the students who presented and look forward to seeing more of our students volunteer and have the courage to publicly display their skills and talents!

The students were able to select a topic of their choice. Congratulations to the following students on an excellent effort!

Mattias Nielsen – Abortion should be illegal
Ole Fritsch – All of our world leaders should unite to prevent global warming
Paul Guyot – That arranged marriage is wrong
Victor Langley – That all cars should be converted to Diesel
Quentin Gendre – Students should be allowed to bring their own lunch to school
Amanda Moslemi – That cigarettes/smoking should be illegal
Dalmar Namazi – Will Obama be able to live up to all of his promises?
Hari Prasad – We need to wake up to the damage we are causing our environment
Carolina Agersborg – That brunettes are not smarter than blondes

All students have worked on their own speeches and I have thoroughly enjoyed assessing the students on their work.

Kind regards,
Cassandra”
