Lesson+Plan

My overall goal is for students to be able to stand up for what they believe by being able to communicate clearly and effectively.
====Students would be allowed to choose a topic based off of what the instructor has provided that they feel strongly about. The students will create a powerpoint slide with information about their topic and present the information to another country through Skype. A debate from this topic will be created within the classroom based on the topic they have chosen. By doing this, it'll allow the students to realize that they do have a voice and in order to change things in life, they have to speak up for what they believe in. As the instructor I will be grading the students based on how well they present their topic.====

====First the students will pick a topic that best interests them and they will then do research on the topic. Once the students have gathered enough information on their research topic, they would then present their information to the instructor. Once their topic is approved, the students would then be allowed to start writing their speeches. Upon completion of speeches, they will form a discussion group to explain their ideas of how they are going to present their topics. This way the students would be able to receive positive feedback from their classmates and the instructor. Once every student has presented their material to the class, they will then be given an extra week to prepare their powerpoint and polish their speeches. After every student has presented their final speech, they will then go around and discuss the importance of the project and what they learned.====

====For the formative assessment, the students would have practice speeches on various topics to prepare them for the final presentation at the end of the course. The students and the instructor would be given the opportunity to see other public speakers and grade the speaker based off of the rubric given to the class. The students will write a one page summary after every speech based off of the questions that are given from the instructor. A summative assessment will be given to the students to see how well they grasped the understanding of a good public speaker. To assess this, the instructor will give the students a topic to present at the end of the semester based on the presentations they experienced. The students will be graded off of a rubric with has a 30 point grading scale with 30 being the highest score they could achieve.====
