Monday, Dec. 5 Agenda

}Bell Ringer: Think for awhile about people who you have heard speak that you liked/were interested in and those that you didn’t/were bored by. Then, in your writer’s notebook, create a brainstormed list about the characteristics public speakers need to be effective and a list of what speakers should NOT do to be effective.

}Discuss what you wrote

}Public Speaking characteristics

}Background Info Presentations

◦Finish meeting with group: make your ‘notes sheet’ (document up when you present)

◦Make sure to take notes on what you feel will help you understand the novel as we read it

◦Take notes on the most important info (what ties to details I gave in the intro, what can help you get a better understanding of the setting, plot, or characters of the novel)

}Research/Project work time

◦Tying Romeo and Juliet into presentation

–You have your three pieces of textual evidence, somehow work them into your presentation

–Needs to logically work, needs to flow with what you are including from your research

◦REMEMBER: CITE YOUR SOURCES ON YOUR PROJECT!!!

–Works Cited Page (due when you present)

◦Remember, you need images, videos, audio files, you don’t just want words on the screen

◦USE the RUBRIC to check if you are doing things correctly!!
