Abstract
This mini lesson is meant to help students
review the elements which must be present in their
persuasive speeches. This is the final day before students
will begin presenting their speeches as part of their
final project. Time should be given in the students’ Social
Studies classes to prepare the various maps and visual
aids which they will use to supplement their presentations.
Students will also be given some of this class period
in order to put the final touches on their speeches
(public advisory on arsenic contamination). The lesson
will take approximately the first half of the class
period.
Purpose – This goal of this lesson is to allow
students to explain what they know about speech delivery
in preparation for the presentation of their final
projects
Objectives
Students will be able to:
1.
Articulate what elements must be present in a successful,
persuasive speech by composing a “presentation
plan.”
National English Education Standard
Students adjust their
use of spoken, written, and visual language (e.g., conventions,
style, vocabulary) to communicate effectively with a
variety of audiences and for different purposes.
Teacher Background
The instructor should be familiar with
all the requirements of the final project, as well as
have developed the criteria with which to assess the
final presentations (suggestions are provided in the
previous and succeeding lessons).
