Speechtastic!

  It's time for another Speechtastic!

This time, students are preparing a Book Talk Speech. Students have each chosen a book and are planning a 2-5 minute speech to explain to the audience why they should (or should not) read their book. Students should be sure to have an introduction, a middle (with a short retell of the book as well as a few reasons why someone should (or not) read their book) and a conclusion.

Students are reminded to add their personality and really make the speech their own!

Presentations are Wednesday, May 10th.
