= Speech = Ladies and Gentlemen We are here tonight to celebrate a special moment; an unforgettable moment that will be important even in three hundred years, moment that can change our land, a moment that can help us. I, as your queen, want my citizens to be a more cultured, more developed, more enlightened. I want that other countries will aspire to be like us. I want that we will be happy and proud as the England citizens. I think that we should go to Operas, theaters, horse competitions, and musicals. That will show the world, and us how the English people are superior and civilized. In addition, we decided, in Buckingham, to institute a new table manner; that will make the English people in a higher class that will make England a nicer place to leave in. We decided that all the people should replace that plate in the middle, in the left side- two forks (the bigger fork- closer to the plate), and in the right side- two knifes. (The bigger knife- closer to the plate), next to the knife- there suppose to be one spoon. In addition to this all, you have to have two teaspoons on top of the plate. The cup should be in the right side over the plate. If you will do all I say, you can help us, and you too, will make England a better place and a more important place for the whole world. Farewell to all of you.

=__ Rationale __=

The class chose to write about Women of Valor, so we chose to write about Queen Victoria. We chose her because we thought that she made up the idea of manners. We researched a little about her, and we've figured out that she didn't make up the manners, but she was the one who inspired this idea to the world. We saw that she was a very significant person for the whole world and for England especially. After our reading, we decided to write about her influence in the Victorian period. She believed in herself, and what she did could be better then what a man can do.
