Week 7: Enjoying our Speeches

Monday 5/4: May the Fourth be with you as you finish your speech. :)

Tuesday 5/5: Turn in your speeches here by midnight. (I will start uploading them Wednesday morning. You may have a bit of extra time if you need it.
   *Don't forget to use the correct YouTube settings so that I can post your video to the blog. 

Wednesday 5/6: See you in class @9 am. Here is the link and the entry code (888 718 148) if you have any issues. We will discuss your speeches and our last class assignment.

Thursday 5/7: Please watch and leave meaningful commentary on several classmates' speeches. You may access them and leave comments on our old blog at www.lovepowerandasoudnmind.blogspot.com
*Meaningful commentary should be kind, keeping in mind the work your friend has put into the speech. Ask good questions, relate, and point out the good. Rude or off-task commentary will reduce your own grade. Keep your class humans!

Friday: Continue to comment on classmates' speeches. (Aim for at least six quality (3+sentences) comments for a full 20 point assignment grade.)
Stay tuned for the schedule of our last week. It is a bit different.
