After this class, students will be able to:
1. brainstorm a list of things they care deeply about and choose one for a formal presentation.
2. listen to others.
3. share their thoughts in front of a group.
Agenda:
1. Warm-up: Why are teenagers so sleepy in the morning? List three possible reasons. I'm asking this question because first period is jam-packed with sleepers! Clearly, something is going wrong somewhere. I'm probing to find out why the kids are so tired.
2. Finish SAY ANYTHING speeches - 50 points.
3. Begin formal speech writing: Students will create an outline for their formal speeches about "Why we should care about..." Students will brainstorm a list of things that they are passionate about, so deeply passionate they they might endure pain or harm for their cause. This might be difficult for them, as teenagers are known to not be fully developed in the compassion area. Ms. Kingsbury will guide them with her own examples. This formal speech will be due to be presented in front of class beginning on Monday, October 15, 2007. Rubric for the speech will be handed out tomorrow in class. Worth 200 points - major opportunity before interim reports!
Homework: There is no homework assigned for this class.
