...and breathe a bit before we start our next novel. KUDOS to you for turning in your propaganda essays! But of course we can't simply hang out, doing nothing. We must continue working our brains!
So today we learned some important vocabulary regarding speeches. You ought to be able to define: signpost, transitions, hook, conclusion and tie-in.
You should also be brainstorming some topics on which you can speak for five minutes. Remember that it should be something you're interested in, not something you think I'll like. (Well, if you want to discuss the creation and advertising of the bumper-sticker, "Have grammar?" I wouldn't be opposed to it.)
Here's something to consider: Visual aids. What are 'boring' visual aids? Which visual aids are the most interesting to you? What about speakers? Which speakers are the best to listen to, and which make you want to leave the room? What is the difference between these two speakers?
If you weren't in class today, here's what you missed:
TPT- Yeay!
Collection of AF books- turn yours in if you didn't.
Speech components ppt.
HWK: write down FIVE potential topics for your speech.

Hello Ms. Piña,
I can't wait to start Night. I really like to learn and read about the Holicost. I know its sad and everything but i find it interesting and Im sure that Night will be very interesting and I'm glad cause hopefully ill do good on the assignments that fallow this book seeing i realy like the topic. lol
I'm a little shakey on the whole speech thing because i cant really think of anything good to talk about. I was thinking about talking about why dovermins are a superior breed of dog. lol (and yes that was intended just for you.)Now on a serious topic, it has to be something that we are realy interested in right? and we are sharing them infront of the class im geussing. =]
Well, we have a little time yet. Yes, make sure your speech topic is about something you're comfortable talking about in front of class, and also something you really enjoy talking about..
