Today (Monday, January 30th) students are starting a three-week unit on How-to Speeches. We (myself included) are very excited to start this unit because it ends with students getting to perform their very own how-to speeches for the class! This unit will have some great lessons on public speaking, sequential order, listening skills, introductions/gaining viewers attention, and choosing an appropriate topic.

Requirements and checkpoint sheets will be handed out to students on Thursday, February 2nd and final speeches will be presented Wednesday, February 15th-Tuesday, February 21st (depending on class size and time restrictions). Students will need to bring in a visual aide (poster, props, computer presentation, etc.), so I want to thank parents in advance for your help!

As always, please let me know if you have any questions, comments, or concerns. I am so excited to get this unit underway and help facilitate student learning!
