Hello Everyone!<\/p>\n

Happy New Year! Over the next four Wednesdays, you will receive class time to prepare a TED talk to present to the class.<\/p>\n

We have already done some brainstorming, and Ms. D will be checking in with each student about their topic.<\/p>\n

Now, here are the next steps:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \u00a0Draft five paragraphs<\/strong> for your speech in your journal.<\/li>\n
  2. \u00a0Paragraph one:\u00a0<\/strong> Introduce your passion. Start with a hook to get us interested that is NOT a question (because most people do — try something different.) Give a short anecdote about why you are going to talk about this. Use enthusiastic, persuasive language hook us into also being passionate about your interests! Don’t forget to use an intro and concluding sentence.<\/li>\n
  3. \u00a0Paragraph two:<\/strong>\u00a0 What is the first reason this is your passion? Explain and give specific examples that back up this reason. Don’t forget to use an intro and concluding sentence.<\/li>\n
  4. \u00a0Paragraph three:<\/strong>\u00a0 What is the second reason this is your passion? Explain and give specific examples that back up this reason. Don’t forget to use an intro and concluding sentence.<\/li>\n
  5. \u00a0Paragraph four:\u00a0<\/strong> What is the third reason this is your passion? Explain and give specific examples that back up this reason. Don’t forget to use an intro and concluding sentence.<\/li>\n
  6. \u00a0Paragraph five:<\/strong> Sum up all of the reasons in different words. Tell a short anecdote or set of facts that help us remember your topic and speech. End with a strong concluding sentence. What you say last is most often what your audience will remember the most.<\/li>\n
  7. \u00a0After drafting, type up a rough copy<\/strong> of these paragraphs. Size 12 Arial Font. Make sure to save it with the title of the project, your name, and the date in the file name. This way Ms. D can tell what it is.<\/li>\n
  8. \u00a0Give your speech a title (without the word passion in it — make it interesting and catchy!) Label the document with your name where we can see it if the speech is printed. <\/strong>Example “Photography is Perspective” by Ms. DeTerra<\/li>\n
  9. \u00a0Edit VERY carefully<\/strong>, looking at criteria. Read it out loud to be sure you caught any errors.<\/li>\n
  10. \u00a0Have a peer edit<\/strong> it carefully and discuss it with you.<\/li>\n
  11. \u00a0Make edits and prepare a final version<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  12. \u00a0Send to Ms. D by sharing the file.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  13. \u00a0Practice speech and present on February 1st, Thursday or February 2nd, Friday.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Proficiency Criteria:<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Five full paragraphs with indents, transition words and phrases, complete sentences, intro and concluding sentences, and 5-8 sentences each.<\/li>\n
    2. \u00a0Descriptive and varied vocabulary. Use more interesting words and don’t be afraid to use a dictionary to get some ideas.<\/li>\n
    3. \u00a0Editing! No run-on sentences, capital letters in correct places, punctuation, etc.<\/li>\n
    4. \u00a0You describe your passion and give specific, interesting reasons why it is something you care about and why other people should care about it, too!<\/li>\n
    5. \u00a0Your speech begins with an engaging hook that is not a question, such that we become interested in listening to your speech.<\/li>\n
    6. \u00a0Your last paragraph has a strong ending, so we get the key message from you as you finish.<\/li>\n
    7. \u00a0Your sentences have some persuasive, enthusiastic language to convince us why this is an area of passion.<\/li>\n
    8. \u00a0You present your speech smoothly and with eye contact, showing you practiced at home and\/or with partners in class. It doesn’t have to be memorized, but it needs to be well practiced so you are not reading from a sheet of paper.<\/li>\n
    9. \u00a0You present your speech using adequate volume, so people in the back of the classroom can hear.<\/li>\n
    10. \u00a0You present your speech with an appropriate pace and use pauses between important thoughts. You are not going too slow, but you are also not speaking so fast we can’t understand all of your thoughts.<\/li>\n
    11. \u00a0You present your speech with enthusiasm and energy, so we can tell you care about this topic!<\/li>\n
    12. \u00a0You present your speech with enunciation, making sure each word is pronounced fully, and that you use your teeth, lips, tongue, and full mouth to say the words.<\/li>\n
    13. \u00a0You use appropriate body language when presenting, not moving around too much, standing up straight, using only a few gestures to emphasize points.<\/li>\n
    14. \u00a0You work on this project IN CLASS and do the writing independently. Do not work on this project completely at home. In this way, Ms. D or Mr. H can answer questions and can see you are able to do peer editing and manage your time appropriately during open-project times.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      We will do some practicing in class around speech techniques prior to presentation day!<\/p>\n

      I look forward to hearing about your passions!<\/p>\n
