Term III Declamation Selections...
Hi Students!
It's that time of the term again--declamation selections. This term we will be declaiming speeches by well-known orators and public figures. A great resource to search for speeches is the American Rhetoric website. Rhetoric means the art of effective persuasive speaking or writing. This term we will be focusing on how to be effective, persuasive speakers. Feel free to click on the link to American Rhetoric: Top 100 Speeches, and browse the entire site! I will begin to accept submissions on Wednesday, January 11th. All submissions are due no later than this Friday, January the 13th.
Best,
~Ms. Occean
