After reading/listening to the speech fill out the speakers worksheet and insert into your reading log- this will count as your entry for the week. Tell me what you thought of the speech, what the main points of the speech were and why you think the author wrote it. Be sure to include a comment about whether or not this relates to courage based on the Hemingway definition of courage or how this fits into the theme of resilience.
Have a great day!

HINTS:
FYI…for the response part of the speaker worksheet on the back of the sheet… think about the speaker’s mood, the way the speaker spoke and the words they chose. Some questions to consider are: Was he/she easy to hear? Were the words pronounced well? Was the voice monotone or varied? Was the attitude of the speaker obvious? What do you think the speaker’s goal was in giving the speech? What are your feelings after hearing the speech? Would this be a person you would like to hear in person? Why/why not? Explain why you chose to listen to this particular person's speech. posted by Ritchey @ 2:07 PM
