• We chose our speech delivery type and brainstorm topic ideas, including funneling our top two ideas to be more specific and focused.
• We learned about finding accurate and legitimate websites, and how to source where our information comes from, including puting words into our own words and stating who said the quotations we used on our Research Note Organizer - Website (located under documents on this teacher page).
• We went to the lab and began our research for speeches/presentation/ spoken word poem, while using our research note organizers.
