ReplyDeleteGreat Job!
DeleteWrite your name! I want to know who this is!
Deleteoops LOL, Alyssa zahralban !!
DeleteHiii! I think Leo's speech was amazing, especially because he brought the perspective of someone who solves fake problems for a living. However, he telling the audience that climate change is a real problem that needs to be dealt with. The song was lovely, gave me some inspiration. Hope to see you all on Wednesday!
ReplyDelete"Standing in the Hall of Fame" ! Great Job Farry! See You WED!

ReplyDeleteI thought Di Caprios speech was powerful because he used scientific facts to prove his point in front of world delagates. I also liked how he mentioned that he plays fictional characters in movies that solve fictional problems but then goes on saying how his audiance has real problems and they have the chance to solve them.

ReplyDeleteI thought Leo's speech was excellent. I liked that he started off his speech by stating that he his not a scientist or an expert on the topic. At the same time he acknowledges that you do not have to be an expert on climate change to see that we have a problem. I like that he referred to credible and reliable sources in his speech stating " The chief of the U.S. navy's pacific command...recently said that climate change is our biggest security threat". I also really liked the song it was motivational and inspiring.
Glad you loved it Hans! Excellent Response re; Climate Change Speech!
DeleteI thought Leo's speech was very interesting and informative. He seemed very knowledgeable and seemed to have some credible sources as well. I thought his points were clear and well stated, he definitely got the point out.
ReplyDeleteHello Professor Brady! Well first Leonardo DiCaprio on his own without even talking can grab anyone's attention. However, on a more serious note he was able to really connect to many citizens by just being one. Many people only know DiCaprio as an actor, but in this speech he is an individual. His comparison of his job of being an actor to man kinds view of climate change is very powerful. There are many people who will tell you with a straight face that climate change is not real at all.
ReplyDeleteHi Pepe! Great Work!

ReplyDeleteI thought the speech by Leonardo DiCaprio was great. His overall speaking skills such as vocal variety, eye contact, and body language were perfect. He established his credibility to the audience by mentioning a quote by the chief of the US Navy’s Pacific Command, Samuel Locklear, who said: “climate change is our single greatest security threat”. This quote also gave DiCaprio’s argument that climate change is something that industries and governments must take large-scale action against. After hearing his speech I definitely feel more informed and agree with him that the world governments should make changes to combat this problem.

ReplyDeleteHello Professor Brady! To start off I thought Leonardo DiCaprio's speech was very informative. He gave a quick gist of what climate change is doing to the world with credible facts and resources. DiCaprio has a serious tone and is passionate about this world threat. I understood the points he was getting across and his reasoning's were genuine.
Hi Wissam! He was very genuine!
DeleteAlexis Larsen
ReplyDeleteHi! I loved your song for the week. I also thought that Leo's speech was very powerful. He gains immediate attention because of his career as an actor. It's refreshing to see a star who cares about more than just themself.
Very Insightful Alexis! See you on Thursday! Zoom CLASS!
DeleteWilliam Mingione
ReplyDeleteHey Professor Brady! I think Leos intro was perfect. Someone like him coming onto a world stage like that doesn't really make sense right away but by using specific word choice he was able to turn his fictitious lifestyle as an actor and turn it around into how society may think of climate change!
Nice Work Will! His intro is very powerful because he talks about acting and roles. I think it compels the audience! nice work!
DeleteAiko hi
ReplyDeleteHi Aiko!
DeleteHi Professor Brady! I hope you and your family are safe and healthy. I love the song you posted, I think it is great to listen to when you need motivation. I also watched Leo's speech and I thought he made great points and is a talented speaker. It is great that he uses his influence to enact change and used a lot of speaking skills such as eye contact, tone, and vocal variety.
ReplyDeleteRebecca! Great Job!
DeleteHey professor Brady! I thought Leos speech was very informative. He was knowledgeable and passionate about the topic of climate change.
ReplyDeleteHi Mem!! He is informative and persuasive!
ReplyDeleteHello! I'm so excited for you to see my speech! I worked hard on it.
ReplyDeleteCitarella
ReplyDeleteHello! Had no idea that Di Caprio was not only great in movies but a great public speaker too
Kind of late but I really liked DiCaprio's enthusiasm throughout his speech. I also enjoyed his repeated metaphor of "I am an actor... a play a fictitious role, often solving fictitious problems (like climate change not being considered)".
