Students are compiling their graduation speeches this week, which will be given next week. They have found a quotation or anecdote to frame their speech around, and will be completing a structured outline, a written draft, and a Powerpoint Presentation. Students can bring tangible photos and data on flash drives to scan into their PPTs. The goal is to push Powerpoint skills by attempting more complex approaches such as layering slides, animation, graphics, including video clips, sound background, photo collages, etc. There is a lot of room for creativity here!!! Speeches should be about five minutes long. Please help your student practice for this!!!
