Scholars Speak
Scholars Speak gives students the opportunity to write, illustrate, and present on a wide variety of topics! To the right are the documents which introduce Scholars Speak (rubric, epaper, and monthly prompts). Here's what students will be expected to do: 1. Write a short essay (2-3 paragraphs) that directly answers the monthly prompt. 2. Draw a colorful/detailed picture using colored pencils to go along with your writing. 3. Sign up for a presentation date. 4. Practice reading your essay orally before the day of your presentation. Practice at home in front of a mirror or family. In addition, call in to our google classroom phone number and read it aloud to me (don't worry if you get cut off - read until the voicemail ends). (424) 262-0936 5. On the day of your presentation you will place your drawing under the document camera for your classmates to see. You will read your essay aloud. See the Scholars Speak rubric for reminders on strong oral speaking skills.
