sadly humans are not only cruel to animals and destructive of the environment - they also harrass each other!

best stuff ever ???

• what have been your favourite assignments at school ever?

• and what about this year? what have you enjoyed?

• also, how could speeches be made better for you?

speeches - hooray!

Please start thinking of a topic - brainstorm, mind map, randomly select... actually, talking about something you are passionate about is often a good idea. Alternatively, try being amusing. The audience must be entertained, to keep their interest, even if you are dealing with a serious topic. Avoid making lists of facts to repeat ad nauseum.
The speech must be 3 minutes long exactly.
We will develop the speech in class. You just need to start thinking and researching ideas.
Good luck - try to make it fun!

"Why am i like this?"

You may well ask why you look, sound, smell, feel and act like you do. It's partly because of your genes. Your genetic code is inherited from your parents and makes you the way you are - of coure, you also learn things as you're growing up that make you behave in certain ways. You also have an impact on your health and appearance through nutrition, hygeine and exercise. And don't forget the power of the mind! But still, your genes make you you.
