Check out this link on making speeches! 

It's time to focus on the body of your speech! Let's work in 3s and consider having 3 key pieces of info you want to share to support your position and convince others. One should be fact and statistics based, another an anecdotal or personal story, the other a hybrid connection to another source of text. 

Each section should be constructed in a similar fashion to how you designed your opening paragraph. I unique opening, clear information, and finish by linking it back to your main point. 

To begin; 

1. List the 3 sources of critial evidence you will use and build with 

2. Begin constructing the three sections (paragraphs) 

3. Read and record and listen ... What do you think!

Post the response to number 1-2 here...

Speech Competition: Intro 

Let's start getting ready for our speech competition.  We will begin with practicing and constructing an opening sequence.

An opening should; clearly establish your position on a topic, grab the readers attention with a quote, poem, anecdotal story, and finally set up the audience with a brief highlight of evidence you will use.

Let's use this picture as our starting point 

Your topic is wildlife endangerment and the wilful destruction of our forested areas...right your opening

Hey Team,

A great poem will set off all your senses;  of touch, of smell, of sight & emotion.

Answer the following questions for all four poems
