Sophia: Expository Speeches

This lesson is a fun way to practice the elaboration tools needed to back up answers. Students will need to speak about a random topic for one minute without time to prepare. This lesson helps students practice their speaking skills, feel comfortable being in front of a room, and develop a sense of camaraderie. Students then repeat the speeches after researching and adding more information. SL.9-10.4 Presentation, SL.11-12.4 Presentation
