Your project can be in the form of an oral presentation (i.e. report out on current events related to issue), a pamphlet, music video, Power-Point, poster, interview,  public service announcement or any mix of media. You may design a video-including film/news clips/interviews with pop culture figures/statistics/current news headlines). You must also connect to the novel Speak in some way-using text clips/images/allusions 1.e. poetry of Maya Angleou, etc.
 All ideas must be submitted to me for approval first.
  1. You must accompany your project with a list of at least 3 reputable information sources listed in proper MLA format (use Noodle Tools)
  2. You can work in a group of 3 max.
  • ALL presentations must begin with group members formally introducing topic and discussing their format, motivation, reason behind topic choice, anecdotes about the creation of product.
  • ALL presentations must end with group members wrapping up ideas, and leaving audience with a lasting final thought.
  • Rehearse your speaking portion and movement portion. Be familiar with any electronics being used and be mindful of facing the audience at all times.
