Speech Presentations Begin Friday, May 13!!!

Students,

This is just a reminder that we will begin presenting on Friday, May 13. We will finish presenting informative speeches on Friday, May 20 after final exams. On Friday, May 20, meet in room 1B at 1:00 and we'll begin right away! Arrange for pickup that day at 2:15 p.m. If you cannot attend, you must bring a note signed by a parent/guardian explaining why you are unable to attend.

Good luck!
-Mrs. Pantuso

Speech Video Clips from Class!

Below is a link to the webpage that includes all of the video clips that I've been showing y'all in class! If you scroll to the bottom of the webpage, you'll see a section titled, "Techniques Clips." Those are the videos that we've seen in class, but it could also be helpful to check out some of the full-length speeches. I recommend the speech entitled "Fair Trade."

Students,

Below are a couple of links; the first is to my example works cited page that we did together in class on Monday. The second is to a website, called the Purdue OWL (Online Writing Lab), that will tell you everything you need to know about writing a works cited page in MLA format, in case you need to look something up:
