I went to yogurt land by food land with Core 4 students and Lori. It was the first time to go there. There were various kinds of taste of yogurt. I tried all of them! They were very delicious and healthy. I am going on a diet; therefore, it is good for me. After I ate yogurt, I went to pet shop. I saw puppies, baby rabbits etc. I have two rabbits and a dog. When I saw them, I missed my pets. My pets are very pretty and clever lol!!! Next, I went to fun factory. There were a lot of games, UFO catchers. Lori spent money on us for having fun. I played Basketball game, and rode the merry-go-round. I was really happy and I had great time!!! She always make us fun and happy even if in a classJ  thank you so much

Cool

SONG:  "PUBLIC SPEAKING"
Chorus:
Public speaking, don’t be freaking
Just listen to the Triple-R technique in… (×3)
Public speaking, don’t be freaking
Just listen to the Triple R technique in public speaking

Verse I
Have you ever seen a hip hop show
Where the emcee’s completely locked into the flow?
His words are clear, his voice is loud
And she really knows how to interact with the crowd
In public speaking you need the same types of things
It’s important to keep the audience engaged
So use eye contact, make sure you look around
Don’t just stare at the page or the sky or the ground

Keep a steady pace, make sure you don’t rush
Project your voice, don’t let it be hushed
‘Cause you could have some great points to convey
But they mean nothing if we can’t hear what you say
Humor is a great way to break the ice
And to emphasize your points, hand gestures are nice
And you can make your talk stronger with visual aids
Like a PowerPoint®, photo, or a graph that you made

Chorus.

Verse II
Public speaking’s easier when you feel refreshed
So the night before, make sure you get plenty of rest
And it’s always critical that you know your audience
When it comes to this, just use some common sense
If you’re talking to a panel for college admissions
Use vocab. that shows intellect and ambition
But if you’re talking is a group of third graders instead
All those big words would go over their heads

Be sure to use voice inflection when you speak
‘Cause if you talk in monotone you’ll put the people to sleep
And the best way to master all of these tactics?
Practice, practice, practice!
Practice with your family, practice in front of a mirror
Practice so that every word is clearer
Practice builds confidence and makes you less nervous

'cuz like the saying goes: "Practice makes perfect!"

Chorus.

HTIC encourages a “classroom without walls” so that our students can explore the larger Hawai‘i community and apply their “textbook learning” to real life. On Thursday, May 21st, the students of CPE 86-Advanced Pronunciation and Intonation Class and I walked to "Bubbies" to refresh ourselves after the stress of Midterm Exams.  The students had practiced  activities to improve their English pronunciation and intonation during classroom activities.  Now it was time for them to go out and "live" English!  Cool

You can see some photos from our field trip at this site:
