Objective:  I can develop and strengthen writing as needed by planning, revising, editing, rewriting, or trying a new approach, focusing on addressing plot development (W11-12.5).
Agenda:
  • Entry Task: Grab a highlighter and the article “10 Keys to Writing a Speech”
    • Popcorn read the article, highlighting at least one striking point in each paragraph.  
  • After reading, discuss what you learned about writing a speech from the article
    • How does what we read compare to the evaluation you did of the TED Talk Everything you Need to Write a Poem and Save a life?  Do you think the author of the article would have approved of the speech that was given?
    • From both, what seems to be the most important component of writing a good speech?
  • If the premise of the speech or “being memorable” is the most important component, it has to come from the heart
    • In the next minute or two, jot down the topics that are closest to your heart--those you find yourself spending time considering or discussing; they can be serious, but they do not have to be--anything that is meaningful to you will do.
  • Let’s share out our topics, so we can see all of our options, in case there is something we didn’t think of.  
    • From those on the board or in your journal, select a topic and create a map of your ideas; the first bullet should be your premise, and the rest should link to that idea:
      • Opening
      • Tone
      • Personal story
      • Theatrics or props
      • Ending
  • Turn and Talk:  Now share your ideas with a partner--try to express them as clearly as possible; think of this as an impromptu speech, explaining how you would present your idea.
  • Draft:  Using the speaking experience with your partner and your map, write a short speech of what you would say in front of a crowd.
  • Exit Task:  Share your speech draft with a different partner.  If there are any brave souls (and time), share your speech with the class a whole.
