Good job on the Socratic Seminars this last week!
Next week, you will be performing persuasive speeches!
- For your speech, you will be speaking to the "school board" of your school (just our class), and trying to convince them to add a special class of your choice to the school.
- Example classes you could choose might be:
- Engineering
- First Aid and Medicine
- Technology
- Wood-Working
- Magic
- Video Game Design
- Home Economics
- Etc
- Your speech should be extemporaneous, meaning you:
- Write an outline
- Speak freely and conversationally using the outline as a guide
- Do not:
- Memorize your speech word for word
- Read your speech word for word from a piece of paper
- Come up with the speech off the top of your head
- Your outline should have the general following organization:
- Introduction
- Attention Grabber
- Statement of your opinion
- Reason 1 for your opinion
- Evidence
- Reason 2 for your opinion
- Evidence
- Reason 3 for your opinion
- Evidence
- Reason # for your opinion (as many reasons as you'd like to add)
- Evidence
- Conclusion
- Your speech must be between 3-5 minutes. You will be counted off for going below or over that time, so practice, practice, practice!
Let me know if you have any questions!
