Say Hey, it's Monday!

And ten points in my heart if you can tell me who the Say Hey Kid is. Today was a great first round of speeches. I see you've picked topics that you're interested in, and you have prepared well. Will anyone look at a Twinkie the same way? Can you visualize a place where everyone is nice? Or what about meeting a teacher and saying, "What's up Big Daddy?", or understanding what the First Amendment says. Good job, ladies and gentlemen. Good job.

I would like to remind the remaining students to include a signpost within your speech; without a signpost, I have difficulty ascertaining where your transitions are... Also, make sure your visual aids are part of your speech, and not an afterthought.

And remember, you need to go when you're scheduled to go. You may not give your speech the 'next day' because there are people scheduled to present. This assignment is worth 80 points, so please take it seriously.

I think that is the wrong email. Shouldn't it be epina@rbuhsd.org instead of rbhsd.org?

-Zakk, first period.

Did it bounce back? Try this one...

OK, i took a whack at it, It should be in your e-mail unless it bounced back. I like this assignment, even though I really don't like standing and talking in front of people. The best thing is you can talk about anything!

The Say Hey kid is Willie Howard Mays Junior, a retired American baseball player. He was elected into the Baseball Hall Of Fame in 1979 and is arguably the greatest baseball player of all time.

Do I get ten points in your heart, Ms. Piña?

Hey! Hey! Hey!

Thanks for the heads up Zakk and AJ. And I'm glad you're enjoying this assignment. If I'm going to force you to speak in front of your classmates, I might as well be nice enough to let you choose your topic!

Charlie- don't worry about it. If you're sick, you're sick, and you will do your speech upon your return. Don't come back if you're sick. I mean, we miss you, but I don't want your germies. Sharing is NOT caring! Just get better, okay?

Ashiah- 10 points in my heart? Absolutely! They're yours! Good researching!

Rachel- VERY FUNNY! It's a GOOD guess! I totally forgot about Fat Albert! He's not the Say Hey Kid, but I'll give you points in my heart anyway!
