The lesson plan introduces students to different types of speeches through videos and hands-on activities. Students will watch two videos, one on general speech types and another on entertainment speeches. They will take notes during the videos. Then, students will use a poster with a QR code to access a speech writing website for extra credit opportunities. To demonstrate their understanding, students will work in groups to write and present a two-minute entertainment speech to the class. At the end of the lesson, students will discuss what they learned and provide feedback on the lesson activities.

students will show what they learned through a brief two minute entertainment speech that they
wrote, that they will present in front of the class. They must present the speech to a 100% degree.
Selection of Method: Students will learn the types of speeches through a video from YouTube.
They will take notes and list the types of speeches. They will then view a video on entertainment
speeches then take notes on that. After the videos, they will be allowed to view a poster with a
QR code that will lead to a website that aids in speech writing. The poster will advertise a speech
that they can attend for extra credit in the unit. They will then be assigned to outline and write a
brief speech, two minutes long, that must be an entertainment speech. The students will present it
to the class at the end of the class to evaluate their skills.
