I have a Dream

Hello Bloggers,

It's me Alan. This blog is all about speeches. We had a task to do to train our brain. In order for us to set up our mindset for speeches, we used the 6 tools in the Mental Toughness toolkit to create a motivational drawing of ourselves.

The 6 tools in the Mental Toughness toolkit is :

• Positive thinking
• Goal setting
• Attentional control
• Visualisation
• Anxiety control
• Self awareness

We used google drawings to make the drawing of yourself. Here is the photo of the drawing. I hope you enjoy it :

While I was creating this drawing I thought about the speech. The hardest part for me during speeches is going to be talking in front of all the people. The easiest part is going to be writing the speech.I chose these tips for myself because I don't like talking in the stage.

Have you ever had to write and present a speech before?

What would your tips be?

Blog Commenting

 What I know about Blog Commenting :

• When you write a blog comment it needs to be Positive, helpful and Thoughtful.
• It needs to be cybersmart
• You must not write anything bad about them that might hurt their feelings.
• You need to encourage the author of the blog post
• You must connect you learning to other interesting content
• It must have feedback of the blog
• shouldn't have private information

Here is my comment and this the link to the blog post I commented in: 

Hello Alvin,
This me Alan your buddy. Your blog post/story was awesome👍👍. The part I enjoyed most was the twist ending. I thought that the third pig was going to live. I really liked the humor of this story like their names😂😂😂😂. 

Here is an idea of improving the blog. Why don't you make the story with more harder words? I just have one doubt about the story 'Wouldn't the dinosaur hurt his feet if he stepped on a rock house?' 

Kind regards

Alan

How to make the best comment in the world

Hello bloggers

We have been learning about what makes a quality comment and a quality blog post. We have also been learning about identifying which comment is good and which comments are bad.We did this to learn how to give our opinion in a positive way. Here is a photo of me and my buddy's work of identifying whether the comments are bad or not by writing comments about the comments itself. Also here is a link to Uru manuka relationship lesson 1. We chose stepping up one.

Do you think learning how to give our opinion in a positive way is helpful? Do you think you are interested in learning  how to give our opinion in a positive way?
