How to Make Rapid and Easy Progress in Learning to Speak in Public:

Speak about something that:

a) You have earned the right to talk about through study and experience

b)You are excited about: and

c) You are eager to tell your listeners about.

Presentation Tips:

1. Make brief notes of the interesting things you want to convey to your audience.

2. Don't write out your presentation in full.

3. Never, never, never memorize a talk word for word

4. Fill your presentation with illustrative examples and visuals.

5. Know far more about your subject than you can use.

6. Rehearse your talk by conversing with your friends and family.

7. Instead of worrying about your delivery, find ways of improving it.

8. Don't imitate others, be yourself!

Adapted from "Speak More Effectively" by Dale Carnegie

Mini-Presentation Workshop Time: Use this class time to organize and finalize your Mini-Presentation. Please consult the rubric and adhere to all requirements.

Continue working on this organizer: Virtual Mini-Presentation Organizational Worksheet
Be sure your slide presentation & organizer are in your Senior Thesis folder.
Use these screencast tutorials for downloading and instructions:

- Screencastify Part II

Need assistance? Visit Mr. Gershman and Ms. Roberts M-F 2:30-3:30 PM via Zoom: https://zoom.us/j/758590537

Special note: It has come to our attention from several of your classmates that Screencastify will not allow the webcam to work while Google Slides in in "Present" mode. If you are experiencing this, here's what you should do: Be sure when recording your presentation using Screencastify, do not click on "Present" but keep your Google slides in a non-present mode. This will allow for you to advance and show your slides while keeping the webcam of your face/upper torso in the frame of the recording.

As a result of this issue, we are extending the deadline for all work toward the presentation (Organizer Outline, Google Slide Presentation, and Screencastify Video) to be due no later than 11:59 PM Tuesday, April 28.

Wednesday, February 19 (DAY 2) / Thursday, February 20 (DAY 1): Session Six

Lesson: Reading to build a foundation for research

Essential Questions:

Do American companies have a responsibility to ensure the health and safety of the workers who manufacture the clothing they sell?

Do American consumers have any responsibility for workers in other countries who make their clothing?

Activity: Close-read: Corporate Irresponsibility? Fashion's Hidden Cost.

NYTimes: The Learning Network Activity

Activity: Continuing to build a foundation through Group Work Processing

Step One: Groups meet to Identify the issues related to their individual articles. Using the graphic organizer, students will discuss the "Problems" and record group members' information in the "Problem" section. Group members should then record their "Ideas" and reactions to the information shared.

Organizer: “Problem-Solution” graphic organizer (PDF)

Step Two: Student groups will then go back to the (Link) NYTimes: The Learning Network Activity and focus on Part III: Researching the Solutions. Student groups will decide on assigning follow-up reading in the group's respective domain (i.e. 1. Stop Doing Business in Countries With Poor Safety Records; 2. Improve Safety and Working Conditions; 3. Increase Transparency About Clothing Origins). Each student should engage in a close-read of his/her follow-up "Solution" article, recording findings in the "Solutions" section of the worksheet. Please include topic, headline, and date of "Solutions" article.

Step Three: Group members will meet for a final wrap-up discussion of their "Solution" article and then record reactions in the "My Ideas" section of the worksheet to conclude. This completed worksheet will be collected in the next class session.

Step Four: Students groups will then meet to Set-Up, Plan, and Begin work on a Google Presentation about this "Problem-Solution"-based thesis topic. Groups should design a Google Presentation with a distinct Beginning, Middle, and End, which will serve to represent a collaborative approach to the topic: Corporate Irresponsibility? Fashion's Hidden Cost. The presentation should include a title page and a Works Cited page for resources and images used. Group leaders should ensure that all components are in place for the finished product. Each group member should include at least TWO slides (visual and/or textual) as part of the whole presentation. Each group member's slide should have speaker notes (with in-text documentation) and citation(s) for image and resource used.

How to Make Rapid and Easy Progress in Learning to Speak in Public:

Speak about something that:

a) You have earned the right to talk about through study and experience

b)You are excited about: and

c) You are eager to tell your listeners about.

Presentation Tips:

1. Make brief notes of the interesting things you want to convey to your audience.

2. Don't write out your presentation in full.

3. Never, never, never memorize a talk word for word

4. Fill your presentation with illustrative examples and visuals.

5. Know far more about your subject than you can use.

6. Rehearse your talk by conversing with your friends and family.

7. Instead of worrying about your delivery, find ways of improving it.

8. Don't imitate others, be yourself!

Adapted from "Speak More Effectively" by Dale Carnegie
