This is an amazing speech that we viewed at the Kath Murdoch day. We will be focusing on public speaking this term but it's the ideas and challenges this speech offers that makes you think. We will watch it tomorrow and the children can post their reactions to what this wonderful young person has to say. Makes you think.
The children have now added their comments. We had a few technical problems which were solved by, you guessed it, the children.

ReplyDeleteI thought she spoke really clearly, and it left me wondering what the word teacher really means.
ReplyDeleteIf I could change anything it would that learning would be reciprocal.

I liked her points on why the word childish is so bad it should go.

I thought she had a great point and facts on the topic.

Some kids say that teachers always teach kids how to learn, and I agree with them all.
Let's listen to her and make learning more fun!!!!

Adora’s speech just blew me away. It was a really good meaningful speech.
I also really agree with her thought about the comment childish!!!!!

I totally agree that teachers should learn from kids because we are all learners.
Samantha
I think what Adora had to say was all true because kids should be able to teach adults, instead of adults teaching kids all the time, so adults should start listening to kids.
McKeely
I think she was trying to say that adults should also learn from kids and that they should give kids more trust.
Taimana
I think that Adora has a good point because children should tell their parents that we are not childish and can think for ourselves.
Kiera
She has got a good point - adults need to start learning from kids, we could change the way that people think they are in control of us.
Emma
I think it was good because Adora was telling adults that they're not the only people who can make a change.
Brock
I think it was good because she was telling the techers they don’t know everything, that kids know things too. And when she talks about utopia she has a point.

I think it is great because the parents paid attention. Teachers can learn from kids and kids can learn from teachers. By Adam
Well I think she is right adults should learn from kids more often now. By Bailey
Maybe Adora is right that adults can learn from kids because sometimes I help my dad to find out what car it is and I like when she used some hard words. By E.J
She was giving kids an idea for the future. By Jarrod
I thought Adora was an amazing speaker she was very supportive to kids she blew my mind away. By Harry
