Intro to Public Speaking Mini-Unit: Learning from Experts & Videos (with Google)

Instead of lecturing about public speaking fundamentals, let students hear it from neutral experts and become persuaded about the topic’s importance! These videos are a great way to kick off a speech unit OR just prep students for a specific speaking assignment. • Play the videos in class or assign them as homework (especially if you want to try to flip the classroom). There are 1-2 pages of guided notes per video. • The guided notes lessons are CCSS-aligned (see below), have “I can” statements

Created by

RACE is an acronym for Restate, Answer, Cite, and Explain. It is easy to remember and students pick up on it very quickly. I used a variation of this lesson for an observation my very first year of teaching and got rave
