Researching your Speeches

It was nice hearing some of your topics in class today. I think we'll have some great persuasive speeches and projects to vote on.

Remember, there is no class on Thursday, but by 5 p.m. you need to email me five different sources that you hope to use in your presentation. Sources may include a visit to an office or an interview or the completion of a task that you need to accomplish to have all your ducks in a row for the presentation. Let me know how you used the class period.

Also remember, tribes that get more than one of their speeches selected as projects will get extra points. In other words, if two or more of your tribe members get their project selected, the entire tribe will be rewarded, so help your fellow tribe members! 

Here are a few projects to keep in mind:
  • For Tuesday, read Chapter 14 and bring in a rough draft of your outline
  • Final drafts of your Persuasive Outlines are due March 24 
  • Persuasive speeches will begin in March 31. Before speeches begin, I need you to watch the first two speeches you gave to the class. After you watch them, write up a one page analysis answering the following questions: 1)What did you learn about your speech giving process by watching these two videos? 2) Which speech do you think was more successful and why? 3) The class commented on your speech; which comments stand out to you and why? 4) What aspect of your speeches do you think could use improvement? 5) What will you do on your next speech that will address that improvement? 
See you on Tuesday.
