2-9-09: Speech Writing (A Days)

Today we turned in our Final Essay. So if you missed class you need to get that in ASAP!

We started class with our punctual piece. We listed at least 5 things one of the characters in the novel we're reading for our outside book report did.

Then we talked about what the purpose of a speech is and what needs to be included in a speech to achieve that purpose. We listened to Bindi Irwin's speech about her father Steve Irwin (the Crocodile hunter).

Next you were given a speech planning sheet and an example outlined speech to model in your speech.

You had the rest of class to write your speech and work on your book report.

For Wednesday:
1. Book Report is due!
