Persuasion Unit has oficially kicked off and a great deal of support is needed for the students during this time. This is a very rigorius unit, research, knoweledge , and skill application based. While I am providing time in our english computer lab for use of research as well as manuscript composition. Please be aware that students will need to spend a great deal of time OUTSIDE of the speech classroom to work on this speech. I have provided a hardcopy schedule and due date list for your student. They also have a copy of the actual scoring guide I will be using during the formative assessment.
