Today, before diving into your informational speech writing and research projects please watch the following two videos:
Mr. Morton
A subject is a NOUN or noun phrase. It is the part of the sentence that tells us WHO or WHAT the sentence is about.
A predicate is a VERB or verb phrase that tells us what the subject DOES.
THE SUBJECT OF THE SENTENCE is an essential element of a complete sentence.
WRITERS need to know how to tell when a sentence is complete by including a predicate.
WRITERS write stories, poems and plays.
WRITERS read and write.
WRITERS are creative and clever people.
WRITERS make a difference in the world by sharing their ideas with others.
TED talks are professional speeches given to an audience. They are usually well researched, supported by facts, statistics, experiments, science, and anecdotes. They are often witty, funny, well rehearsed, memorized, and written by the speaker. They are good examples of the INFORMATIONAL SPEECH--just like the one you're working on. Watch one and jot down 3 things you learned after listening to the speech. This will be your "ticket out the door" as participation today.
As you watch the video, note how the speaker begins the talk. Notice how he uses storytelling and research to support his main idea. Listen for his main idea. What does he want you to know after watching this video talk?
After watching this video, please meet with your partner and continue working on your informational speech project. See post below for more details.
