We thoroughly enjoyed the 1st and 2nd period speeches in December, and now I'm looking forward to hearing speeches from my 3rd, 5th, and 6th periods. The presentation dates are Wednesday, January 18 through Friday, January 20. (If one of those days is a snow day, we'll proceed immediately upon returning.) I will assign dates to students by taking volunteers who WANT to go first, and then use my stick picks to fill in the other spaces randomly. Here are some other checkpoints that have passed, and future ones you may need to monitor:
1. Internet research dates in library December 6-8
-Collect 5 facts from at least 4 different websites using sweetsearch.com and TNelectroniclibrary.com
-Only one of those must be used in the speech.
2. Rough Draft December-January
-Although they started in class, students could use Christmas break to write their rough drafts.
3. Internet Research and Rough Draft due January 10
4. Improve vocabulary using a thesaurus January 10-11
-Improve at least 5 words using a thesaurus individually or with a partner.
5. Begin Note cards January 10-11
-Students are taught to add words or phrases to the note cards they can use while giving their speeches.
6. Color-coded peer editing January 12-13
-In collaborative groups, students will peer edit the speeches using a color-coded system.
7. Practice Speeches and timing January 16-17
8. Speech presentations/Final Drafts due January 18-20
-Students will present speeches in the library and turn in final drafts after the presentation.
Students have the rubric already, and it's the same as the rubric they used in 4-H the last two years. SPRING Speeches will be longer, more in depth, and open to the public.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
