Students in 6th and 7th grade are working on giving informational speeches to the class. This oral assignment will give students an opportunity to conduct individual research on a specific country they have been assigned in Europe (6th Grade) or the Middle East (7th Grade).
These speeches are to explain or describe a concept, event or issue unique to that specific country. The topics can cover history, politics, culture, art, etc, provided it is related to the country in question.
Students will present their speeches in an oral essay type format, including an introduction, body and conclusion. Students must turn in an outline to accompany their speech. This outline will highlight the main points of teh speech but is NOT a text of the speech.
6th Grade will begin their speeches on Friday, Feb 27 continuing through the next week, while 7th grade speeches will begin on March 2.
