ELA 20: Sept 13 Oral presenting dos and don’ts, and “The Rink”…
- We discussed some of the expectations regarding their oral speeches on Tuesday. (The deadline was switched yesterday to Tuesday as the kids have a lot on their shoulders for Friday already.) A handout was given with advice on preparing for their speech presentations.
- We reviewed how the symbolism was one of the elements of literature used by the author from yesterday’s reading. Students were given a short story to read invididually with the direction of looking for the symbolism within it. There may be more than one example of symbolism, as well. They will soon write a paragraph with an integrated quote regarding their findings in the story, but that will come tomorrow. They seem on the right track.
