Today, we began our last large project of the year. Students will choose a topic that they are passionate about a craft a speech to present to their classmates. This is no ordinary speech - they have the choice of six different ways of presenting it! We decided to give these options to accommodate all of the diverse learning styles we have in class.
- Topic must address our overarching concept of adaptation
- Researched information must include credible sources
- Presentation must make sense and be organized
- Include visual aids to clarify ideas
- Appropriate eye contact, clear pronunciation, and good volume
- Between 2-5 minutes long
- Completed and turned in by Monday 5/8
- Presentations will be Tuesday 5/9 through Thursday 5/11
The six ways students can present these speeches are:
- Pre-recorded Speech (at home or at school)
- Song/Rap
- Poetry
- Podcast
- Argument
- In-Person Speech ("old school")
