blog about the topic they have chosen for their final speeches, how to use peer review in
comments and on social media, how to write an outline for their speech, and how to research and
cite speeches.The students will learn this by blogging about their subject to familiarize
themselves with it, commenting on each other’s blogs in order to critique details about the
expression of their topics, and posting on Facebook their thesis statement for their speech for the
instructor to check. They will do all this with 100% accuracy.
Selection of Method: Students will be asked to start their own blogs about the topic they have
chosen for their five minute speech. When their bog entry is completed, they will comment on
