We have started working on persuasive speeches. Students are all writing to persuade one side or the other about the "Vaccine War". It is an interesting topic and should spark some great conversations. Parents talk to your children about how hard it is to make those decisions. Kids talk with your parents about your thoughts and feelings on the subject. Check out the video and interviews at http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/vaccines/.
Periods 1-5 are wrapping up the last few speech presentations and will review them Thursday November 4th. On November 5th we will research for our next persuasive speech, so come ready with your approved topic.
Period 8 final drafts of Vaccine War persuasive speeches are due Wednesday November 10, 2010.
