Coming Up in English
What to Expect in the Coming Week
February 18-21
This week students will begin presenting their persuasive speeches. They should all be ready to deliver their speech on Tuesday, but some will not present until Wednesday or Thursday. Please encourage students to practice their speech several times before the big day.
Practicing speeches...
should include making sure students have eye contact and use appropriate volume and pacing.
On Tuesday...
students should turn in all pink papers and two typed copies of their final speech (one for me and one for them).
While reading...
note-taking will take place on the padlet website. The link is included on Edline in the News section.
Other Assignments This Week
After presentations have finished, we will return our attention to the class novel. Expect chapters to come home as homework over the next few weeks.
