This podcast episode is about #MeToo and sexual harassment in the Military. It details two important #MeToo cases, including the murder of Vanessa Guillen at Fort Hood.

It may distress some audiences, so please use your professional discretion and the supporting documents provided that aid tough conversations. There is a transcript for this episode.

This is the third topic in my Conversation Series. All topics will engage, interest, and yield an instant oral communication mark in a less threatening situation than a presentation or speech. Should you decide to host a weekly conversation supported by these materials, you will help students to value their own voice, improve their communication skills, and you will save yourself hours of time.
Future posts in the Conversation Series will each have a different issue, student discussion sheet, and answer key. But the support materials (such as the templates) will be the same.
