Day 20

Today I would like you to briefly discuss the concepts that were presented in your proposals. Tell me everything that you know about your chosen individual. Based on your research, how are they social activists? Why are they influential? What is the information that you have learned about them, which you will be using in your speech? Also, tell me which form of visual aid you plan on using, and what types of things you may include.

For those of you that did not turn in your proposals today, be sure to have them Tuesday! Also, I would like you to think about the layout of your speech. Put together a brief outline of the key components of your speech that you plan on including. Remember, you must have an intro, body(with specific details), and conclusion. Mr. Kay will be looking these over when you return from the weekend to be sure that you are on the right track.

Finally, I just wanted to say thanks for being such a wonderful class, and such wonderful individuals. I have learned something new from each and every one of you every day. Waking up and hanging out with you guys everyday is by far the best job in the entire world, and I am truly going to miss you all! Take care of yourselves, keep up the good work, and have a great summer! :)

Always,

Ms. Agne

Day 19

Remember to study for your quiz tomorrow! Also, proposals are due.

Current event day. The current event must come from within the last week. As always, no entertainment and no sports. Try and not do one that someone else has done. If you do, then you must somehow comment about theirs (if theirs was done first) in your blog. NO CITE, NO POINTS

Day 18

Tonight I want you to tell me who it is that you chose for your speech topic. Why did you choose this influential person? Why do you think that they are an influential person? What types of issues have they become involved in that would insinuate that they are an activist? Remember, your speeches will be based on how this individual has been influential through social activism, not so much on their histories and life experiences.

Day 17

Tonight I want you to start thinking about which social activist you might choose for your upcoming speech, and why. For the blog this evening, you may free blog. Enjoy!

Day 16

Don't forget to email me your website projects by 6pm this evening @ agneb@huronvalley.k12.mi.us

As for tonight goes, since Friday's blog did not post, I will repeat what was intended for that day. Tell me how you feel about public speaking. What are your strengths? What are your weaknesses? What are your biggest fears? What do you feel comfortable with? How do you think your peers performed with their impromptu speeches today?
