School Oratory (Speeches)

Hi, everyone!  I just wanted to connect with you regarding the School Oratory.  Each student has received a booklet outlining the speech-writing process.  Each student will be working on the pre-writing and rough draft stages of the speech this week, but students are encouraged to work on their speech at home, as well.  We have broken up the process into three parts, with three due dates (this helps us avoid doing everything at the last minute!):
Monday, February 13: Rough Draft is due
Friday, February 17: Final Draft is due
Tuesday, March 6, and Wednesday, March 7: Classroom Speak-Off (this is when students present their speeches in our classroom)
The top girl and boy will be chosen to represent our classroom in the School Oratory on Friday, March 30. 
There is a form on the first page of the packet that indicates parents have viewed the speech assignment.  Please sign and return this, or send me an email or a note in your child's agenda.
Also, please let me know if you have any questions regarding the details of the assignment.
