Tuesday is here! The big news for today is that I informed the students that we will be starting to work on 4 minute speeches for English. This is going to be a challenging project for the students. The will need to write their own speech and then present it to the class. This is out of their comfort zone, but that is exactly why it is important for them to do. We will work on writing a good speech with a focus and then work on presenting it well. It is amazing how loud students can be right up until they have to get in front of the class and present ;-) Notes are allowed, but the speech can not be read. This project is going to take some practicing and won't be able to be put off until the last minute. The first step is to have a topic picked out by Thursday. It should be something that the student is interested in and also be something that others may enjoy being informed about. We are not looking for a persuasive essay (Why you shouldn't smoke) but rather an informative one.
