To wrap up our opinion writing this term, students each selected one of the theses they had written about to turn into a speech. Each student shared their speech with the class, and each of them made some convincing and impassioned points! The class worked hard to start their speeches with a bold thesis, provide a variety of reasons, directly address the audience, and include personal anecdotes. By the end, we had been convinced that Rogers Place needs more food options, we should take better care of the environment, and that Millgrove School should install a pool in our building! |
