Informational Speech Draft Due!

Today, please complete your draft for your informational speech. By the end of class today, you and your partner should have your speech completely written, rewritten, revised, and ready to go.

If you finish your draft with time remaining in class, please use this time in the lab to print out copies for you and your partner. Then practice your speech. Read your speech out loud again and again. Catch and correct any errors you may have missed. If you make corrections, please hand in the corrected version of the speech to me by the end of class for grading.

Your MLA formatted works cited page is also due today. Please turn in both your completed speech draft (give your draft a title) with you and your partner's names, as well as, your correctly formatted works cited page for at least 3 (or more) resources you used.

HOMEWORK/CLASSWORK: If you finish or stop rehearsing before the end of class, please watch a model of how speakers effectively deliver information in speeches. Choose at least 1 speech, and, to turn in next class, 1.) summarize the main points of the speech, and 2.) evaluate how the speaker used their body, voice, visual aides or technology, and performance skills to give an effective speech.


You may watch and summarize/evaluate more than one talk for extra credit. The more you watch and learn and evaluate, the more extra credit.

We will rehearse and deliver our group inspirational speeches next class (after Martin Luther King Jr. Day)!
