Speeches

One of our major projects for January will be our class speeches.  These speeches will be 3-5 minutes on a topic of the student’s choosing, and will be delivered to the class at the end of the month.  We will be going through the writing and delivery process throughout the month, but a lot of the writing and practicing will have to be done at home.  A link to the information we will be going through in class, as well as rubrics and timelines, can be found here: https://husky67.pbworks.com/w/page/34367723/Speeches.

Learning Goals
Oral Communication
- use vocal skills such as tone, pace, pitch and volume, as well as non-verbal cues including facial expressions, gestures and eye contact to appropriately communicate with a specific audience
- reflect on and identify their strengths as speakers and areas for improvement

Writing
- generate, gather and organize ideas and information to write for an intended audience
- revise their writing to create an appropriate voice and point of view
