__**Do Now:**__ (handwrite this on the same piece of paper with the "Do Now" from yesterday)

What is the difference between writing a paragraph and writing a speech?

__**Activity 1 - Write a speech as an abolitionist **__

- Open the **Abolition Speech Assignment** document below.



Follow the directions and **write your speech** in that document. The **rubric** for how you will be graded is below:



When you are done, save. Then print your speech and the rubric and turn them in to me.



__**Activity 2 - Share your speech **__

- In your **Home Group**, each student must read their speech **out loud**. After each student has read their speech, **pick the best one** to present in front of the class.

- Each Home Group winner will present their speech in front of the entire class. The class will then **vote for the best speech**.

- The class winner will get to **record their speech** and upload the file as a **podcast** to this Wikipage (to be done outside of class another day and uploaded later).
