1. Warming up by reflecting on your Gothic paragraphs
2. Looking through your raw materials and finding patterns (color-coding can help with this)
3. Using those patterns to organize and develop ideas; click here if you'd like a prep sheet.
4. Fine tuning important details:
- What will be the first thing you say to us?
- Be vulnerable (pathos/ethos).
- Consider telling a story (ethos).
- Consider addressing/involving your audience (pathos).
- Consider shocking/intriguing us with a fact (logos).
- What will be the last thing you say to us?
- Make us believe in your ideal.
- Consider calling us to action.
- Your speech took us on a little journey. The ending should be even better than the beginning.
"And that's my speech about ____." "And that's pretty much it."
- What will be on the slides behind you?
- An image?
- A single word or short phrase?
- A quotation?
- A graph or chart?
- A video you made that's no longer than 20 second in duration?
- Remember to avoid guiding bullet points or any writing that goes beyond a phrase or single quotation.
HW:
1. Assigned book club reading and syllabus-creating for Tuesday. Keep in mind the feedback you received on your first and second syllabi.
2. Work on your final speech by writing/outlining, preparing your media, and practicing every night. Be ready to deliver it on Friday, Dec 16.
3. If you've been absent or behind, take some time to update your Transcendentalist blog posts. I will start grading them after school on Thursday, Dec 15.
