PEDAGOGY
We all have research standards, writing standards, and speaking/listening standards that can be taken care of with this project. Having students write speeches and present in front of an audience is not only meeting standards but it also an important life skill. The suggested timeline and speech outline can serve as scaffolding for students who are not enthusiastic about writing and giving a speech.
HOW CAN I USE IT?
- project-based learning
- summative assessment
- tie in social studies standards
- reading celebrations / book reports
WILL IT WORK FOR ME?
You need to have PowerPoint software in order to access this resource. Or, you can upload the PPT to Google Drive and convert it to Slides.
This document is completely editable. You may edit it as you wish to change dates, grade level, and other details. The red text in the letter is the text that you will need to change to fit your needs. You can also edit the rubric!
It is specifically designed to be used for book characters or famous Americans, but really the possibilities are endless. You could tweak it to make it work for historical figures, public figures, people important to your state, or anything else that helps you meet your standards!
