More on Speeches

Ok well I’ve come up with a plan. It doesn’t feel like the same type of speech that we’ve done before so I’m still nervous about it but I’m SO GLAD I have my Smart Board now because it will definitely make things easier.

Here’s my plan: Introduce the topic by covering places and things associated with president and government—the White House, Air Force One, the secret service, congress, the supreme court, etc.

Then help students figure out a topic that they would like to make their main focus if they were president—a cause if you will.

Finally, I’ve provided kids with a list of leadership terms. I want them to read the descriptions and pick 3 terms that they think best defines who they are as a person. Then I want them to explain why these traits would make them a good president.

We’ll see how this goes.
