CCSS: Adaptable
Pros
  • While the assignment page does say the speech is to go with a certain unit, the Word document is easy to edit and adapt for your own needs
  • See the materials tab for plenty of information on the two units referenced in the resource
Cons
  • The included rubric is really small (shrunk down to fit on a portion of the page), but could easily be expanded
