Bring Your Literature Outline

to me tomorrow so that I may see that you're ready.

One week to go!

On Public Speaking

We will practice the ole' Toast Master's riddle daily from now on out. Be ready. Be prepared --mentally, articulating your speech, organizing your ideas, and honing in on good rhetorical practices while refining your delivery, style, and presence!

Topics will range from current events to Latin America literature, from oddities to Star Wars. Just Kidding. Only on Star Wars.

Cheers,
Whyte

Assignments for the Mexican History Timeline

Remember, a few slides on each person, or each group of persons is needed so that we can work on a more complete timeline with Ms. Mercado. Do the research and slides and have them ready by Monday when we return so that we can present the slides completely in Tuesday to Ms. Mercado. Be thorough, but concise. Important details only.

Have a happy new year and I will see all you again on Monday.

Any questions, just email me or comment on this post.

History timeline

Most of you know that Ms. Mercado gave us a timeline to prepare over the holidays. I will divide it up soon and assign everyone a part to do. Until then, please continue to work on speeches, and keep studying! :)

Competition is at the end of January, so we are almost there!

Final!

Make sure that you have your speeches written on index cards. This will help you begin to easily memorize them.

I expect to see your speeches on index cards tomorrow, Thursday at lunch.

Instead of Going to Math Tutoring Tomorrow...

go to Mr. Whyte's class because we need to fill out some formsfor competition that are due TOMORROW. Do not be late. Do not be absent. Be here at 7:15, no later.

Remember to get the blue paper I sent home with you signed by your parent(s). Do not forget this.

See you guys tomorrow,
