Final steps for passion speech:

Students prepare conclusion

Students will combine all tasks/steps for Final draft

Students discover the conclusion of a speech is just as important as the attention grabber. Once again, students viewed Kid President's and Kid Black's videos for 30 seconds and only at the end of their speeches. Students were able to observe verbal and non verbal cues and apply to their script or not.

For some, this was not an easy task.

Last step, students combine approved slides of attention grabber, 3-details script, and conclusion.

Brainstorming YOUR Passion

What did we learn in finding a passion among middle schoolers? Many students couldn't distinguish the difference between passion and goal. Some didn't have interests, collections, or talents to talk about. Others didn't include elementary music lessons, foreign language or sports activities.

Minding your Passion Speech

Blog #6 Aloha Kakou! All aboard . . . Students have chosen at least one topic to do their passion speech. Next step, to prepare their attention grabber. Students learned an attention getter is used at the beginning of an essay to grab the reader's attention. As they learned in Kid President and Kid Black's videos, they could use quotations, statistics, or questions, and stories. This task wasn't an easy flow as it was difficult for students to decipher, verbal/nonverbal cues into a passion speech.
