Speeches

If you have been doing the Monthly Memory writing having your students complete a speech is a great way to provide a purpose to combine the skills your students have been learning and to extend their single paragraph writing into multiple paragraphs. Since September we have learned how to write a basic paragraph, how to "show" rather than "tell", using writing hooks to begin our paragraphs, and adding transitional words and phrases to our writing. I send a package home to include parents in the topic choices first. Grab your copy of this letter HERE. Grab your copy of the Speech Booklets HERE.
