Persuasion and Argument Unit

We will use the next two weeks to complete the Persuasion and Argument unit.

February 7-9: We will meet in Computer Lab 438. These three days will be used to begin the typing of your persuasive speech. Review the handout discussing how to write the speech and what will be needed on the day of your presentation. You will only have these three days in class to work on this. All other work is to be completed at home. The typed speech is due on Monday, February 14.

February 14-17:
All students are to have their speeches and presentations prepared for Monday, February 14. We will begin the speeches on this day. Speeches should be approximately 10 minutes in length. You will be graded on the written speech (50 points) and on the oral presentation (25 points). Please review the rubrics given to you in class.

February 18: We will be back into the computer lab on Friday, February 18 to begin filling out the local scholarship application.
