Description
Students always dread public speaking, but when it's a fun topic with a creative twist, they are much more interested! In this unit (2--3 weeks), students come up with their own cause and effect situation which they are encouraged to pose as a What if question. What if money grew on trees? What if humans could teleport? What if robots took over the world? What if heath care was universal? What if college was free? Not only is this an opportunity for students to choose their own prompt, develop a thesis and its subsequent body paragraphs, they also will develop their public speaking skills.
