One-Minute Speeches, Round 1: October 4, 2019

Focus: Which aspects of our speaking skills are strong, and which aspects do we need to work on?

1. Warming up with practice attention grabbers to break the ice

2. Delivering one-minute speeches in small groups; in each group, you need the following:

• A timer
• A videographer (record the person on his/her phone, not yours)
• A claim-writer
• Note: Switch roles each time so that you get to do each task.

3. Using your footage to perform a highly guided self-reflection on your first one-minute speech

4. Wrapping up with a return to Grammar You Must Know #1: Run-On Sentences
