Good morning!

You should continue working on your Vacation Group Project. Click here to see the assignment description. If you were absent on Friday, see me about your group assignment.

Good morning/afternoon.

We will begin presenting Persuasive Speeches TOMORROW, Tuesday, May 7th. 

BE SURE TO PRINT OUT YOUR OUTLINE/DRAFT TODAY! YOU WILL NOT HAVE TIME TO PRINT BEFORE SPEECHES BEGIN TOMORROW.

Also, EVERYONE should be prepared to give your speech tomorrow. If people are absent, we will just keep going down the list.

Reminder: You MUST make an attempt at your speech on the day you are scheduled (starting tomorrow) in order to be able to redo the speech. If you are Truant on that day, that is a zero, and you may not make up your speech.

Final Drafts are Due TODAY at the end of the period. 

Please upload them to Turnitin.com when you are finished.

Good morning/afternoon!

Now that you have finished your first drafts (be sure to submit them to Turnitin.com if you have not already) I’d like you to practice with a partner.

Today I’d like you to pair up with a partner and deliver your speech to them. You can do this in the room, out in the hall, or in the back room. Please be respectful of other classes near you in the hall.

When you are the listener, you will give your partner some feedback and suggestions using the handout I will give you. Then trade off, and you give your speech while your partner listens.

I want you to really pay specific attention to the Introduction because of its importance in the speech. Get our attention first and make us interested in your topic from the beginning.

Then evaluate the rest of the speech as indicated on the handout. You will rate your partner 1-5 in the following categories:

Delivery
Eye Contact
Volume
Speed/Pace
Body Language
Content
Introduction
Body/Evidence
Conclusion
