Practical Public Speaking

Great job on the Persuasive speeches today–very convincing!! If you have completed your Persuasive speech, you are done for the year on preparation! If you have not yet done your Persuasive speech or if you have any speeches to make up, please plan to have them all completed in the next two class periods. We had a great promotion for next year’s Debate class today as two students chose the opposing sides of a persuasive argument!!
