LANGUAGE ARTS - ALL STUDENTS   The oral presentations of formal speeches will begin on Tuesday, April 6th, 2010.  Speaking order will be determined by random draw, so ALL STUDENTS need to be ready to give their speech on Tuesday, April 6th.   Students have been working on their speeches in class and will continue to work on them in class during the week of March 29th.  They should also be working on them at home.  It is expected that students will research their topic.  They have had time in the computer lab and access to the library at school, but can do additional research at home if they need to.   Written copies of speeches are due on Friday, April 16th, including a works cited (bibliography) page.  Rubrics for the oral presentation of the speech and the written copy of the speech are attached below.   Students should also be reading their AR novels at home every night for at least 15 minutes.
