Seniors Share Favorite Poem or Story with class; Everyone:
Objective:  I can evaluate a speaker's point of view, reasoning, and use of evidence and rhetoric, assessing the stance, premises, links among ideas, word choice, points of emphasis, and tone used (SL11-12.3).
Agenda:
  • Entry Task: Grab your Chromebook and login to Google Classroom.  Then, get out your journal and jot down the names of people who you miss for a variety of reasons.  Feel free to incorporate specifics about each person in order to utilize some of these details later.
  • In Google Classroom open the Edpuzzle (if you have headphones, you will want to get them out)
    • Follow along to the TED Talk Everything you Need to Write a Poem and Save a life (18 min.)
    • As you watch, the video will pause where you need to answer a question.  
    • In some cases, you will need to answer both on the computer and in your journal.
      • Although the video is 18 min., we will work through it independently for about 30 min., at least enough time so everyone can complete the questions/steps throughout.  
    • If you get done first, feel free to go through the steps with another of the people you wrote about in your entry task.
  • When everyone is finished, select a partner you can work well with in order to complete an assessment of your understanding of the speech.  
    • You may continue to utilize your Chromebook to review the speech as you work together to answer the questions in the Speech Evaluation.
    • After we review the steps together, use the rest of the time to complete the evaluation thoroughly and thoughtfully.  You may turn in one paper for both of you, but make sure both of your names are on it!
  • Exit Task:  Turn in your Speech Evaluation.
