  6. FOCUS QUESTIONS • Who is your audience? • What is the purpose of your presentation or speech? • Which resources– visual aids, props, machines– will you need to make this presentation? • What does your audience care about that you can link to your speech to draw them in?

  7. Tricks of the Trade for Student Speakers • Tell stories that will draw in the audience • Use humor to help relax and entertain the audience • Connect with the audience to establish sincerity • Incorporate compelling visuals—video, cartoons, art, presentation graphics- that will immediately capture the audience’s attention

  8. Four Types of Reading According to Burke, “the most common form of speaking that student’s will do is reading aloud” (p.233). Choral Reading Quaker Reading Interrupted Reading (Ideal for ESL students) Dramatic Reading

  9. POLONIUS LETTER “Hamlet” Provides a rare opportunity, perfectly timed given student’s ages, for parents to sit down and write a reflective letter, like Polonius, give the student advice before they head out in the world. Burke (p. 14)

  10. Activity : Our Twist • Directions: Write a “Polonius Letter” from the perspective of a high school teacher giving advice to a perspective graduate.

  11. BLOG TOPICS • Question 1: Reflect on a speech that you have given or heard. What was the purpose of the speech? Was it effective? • Question 2: Do you think the Polonius Letter is an effective method of teaching? Why or why not? If not, how would you go about teaching a similar activity?
