Today, during 3rd period we are going to be working on our speech writing. Please read and examine the previous post for details. Work toward completing your speech (due Friday as a draft).
When writing speeches, it is sometimes helpful to create an outline first. All speeches have a goal or thesis that should be stated clearly (just like well written essays). This statement should be clearly stated in an introduction.
The purpose of an introduction is to hook your listener. Look at the speech tips for advice.
After a catchy introduction, we move on to the body of the speech. In the body of a speech you should provide information in clear, concise details. Major or important points should be stated clearly and concisely, with follow up details afterwards to help the listener picture or understand the point.
Finally, a conclusion should get the audience to think about the relevance of your topic. In summing up, make a conclusion about your topic. Answer: why should we care? or Why is this important?
During 4th period we will be getting either Stephen King's book or Clive Barker's. We will be dividing into "reading" groups to begin our dark journey. Information about horror writing is forthcoming.
