Speeches+and+the+Common+Core


 * Moving from Listening to Writing **

How can we use Maya Angelou’s words spoken at Coretta Scott King’s funeral as a model for writing our own speeches? By using research- based practice for increased comprehension, we will see how multiple, purposeful readings help students develop their analyzing skills. We will also create a foundation for students as they write their own speeches. This interactive presentation incorporates the new Common Core Standards in Reading, Writing, and Speaking and Listening with ideas to take back to a middle or high school classroom.
