~Famous Black American Speech~
Present on Thursday, February 14, 2013.
The
basis of your project will be a speech on the famous black American that you
have been writing about for your research project. Make sure that you present
the key points that are listed below for your speech. You can only use 3 by 5 cards to help assist you during your speech,
BUT you cannot read directly from your cards.
Each
student should know this information really well, because of the time that
we’ve spent on this project in class. Attached is a practice form. For this
speech, you DO NOT have to turn in a parent signature form.
