Urgent:help Needed:public Speaking Competition For Grade 4

may be we don't understand this until we see our own kids reach that stage/age. For me @Rihana ne kaha, to theek hi hoga! (rihana said it, so it Should be okay)

 

First learn to accept your own mistakes- otherwise your child will also start to outsource his homework and be as rude as you.


Rihana kinda made me understand that maybe having raised kids perspective changes.. When we were growing up- we did our own homework and even won several competition. Wonder where would I be if I was spoon fed the essay. Things weren't just given-- we had to earn it.
Anyone who has been brought up to do their own work are not focused on winning, they will also learn that life is not about winning all the time. And you are not the golden child.




Wonder where OP had asked for tips? All I read was - help me to start the essay, help me to frame it, help me end -- that's the whole essay 1. introduction, 2. Body. 3. Ending. I don't see where she has asked "tips".

 

When everyone is doping, how can one honorable aspirant compete? Welcome to the battle of the parents at the Lance Armstrong school!

I quite like the way they do it (used to do it?) in India. Elocution competitions, i.e. reciting set passages (poetry, classical literature, essays & speeches of Vivekananda and the like) were different from debating competitions encouraging argument and wit, both of which were different from speech / essay competitions. Looking back, I am glad that my parents steered me toward them. For me, the participation achieved exactly what these competitions were designed to achieve - I learned a lot of poetry and passages from literature that I still remember, overcame stage fright, learned to write and most of all learned to use what I gleaned from those efforts in other writing.

So, even if this turns into a battle of the parents, it's not so bad - working to memorize it and present it front of an audience can still bring long lasting benefits, as long as no one is pretending that the kid is quoting Baudrillard on consumer society from his own reading! Having said that, the topic seems to me to be downright silly for a ten year old! Who dreams up this tosh?

 

OP, I hope you won't mind if I ask a question - where did this topic come from? Was it assigned at school or did you choose it? If you really want to help your son, then it might be better to pick something that a ten year old can get excited about!

 

@Rihana , you got some homework here.
@nakshatra81 just kidding.

coming to the topic, how many minutes time would be given to present? 3 min? 5 min?
I think there is lot of content you prepared already. on a quick glance I see "my mom, dad, momma's boy" attracted my attention. I will see the pages detail now.

I understood that topic also chose by you, not given by teachers . am I right?

for 10 year old, assume that he is asking you some big toy/video game / some nice dress/shoe, and you have certain budget( budget as you said in papers).

Explain the topic from his point of view how he will make decision among what he wants to buy based on his budget.

all your content is same but explaining with example of needed things of 10 year olds makes interesting for your son and listening to it for his friends.

I am not expert of these things, let experienced moms advise u.
