Big Brother is watching.

Today's class will begin with a book talk by me. I will highlight the qualities a book talk should have as a refresher for those who have book talks coming up this week and early next week.

We will spend time reading independently while I review the book talk outline with people individually. Those who have not signed up for a book talk date yet will have a chance to do so today.

Our speech focus area study will culminate with a speech by Ismael Nazario. He delivered a TED talk on his experiences being incarcerated as a youth on Rikers' Island in New York City. Using his speech and the others we watched, everyone will reflect on the qualities of great speeches we have observed over the past three classes in the Speech Focus Areas Analysis. 

Homework tonight will be to complete the Speech Focus Areas Analysis, read independently, and prepare for your book talk (if it's coming up soon).

This week I am available after school until 3:15 on Monday, Wedesnday, and THursday. If you can't stay after but need assistance, email me at sstaysniak@gmail.com.
