Thoughtfulness speech - National Honor Society
I presented this speech as a guest speaker at a National Honor Society induction. This speech deals with the topic of thoughtfulness, both in being an intentional thinker as well as considerate. This speech can be used in a classroom to inspire students and as character education. This speech can also be utilized by leaders trying to unify a team or group, by simply replacing a few words to address the appropriate crowd. I am VERY proud of this piece, and think you will love it as well!

Informative Essay Questionnaire
The questionnaire was designed to help students see how an informative piece of writing should be set-up and what each paragraph should include. It's also a great tool to use after students are comfortable with informative writing formats and to have them grade each other's informative writing pieces. They also are more likely to realize their own mistakes as they have to think about the items that should be included in each paragraph.
