Agenda:
2018 Graduation Speech
Quote and Topic Brainstorm
HW: RJ 17.2 read for 20-30 minutes and record.
OK, it's Tuesday so we will Zoom at 1:00. 15 week grades are due tomorrow so make sure you get work turned in!
Here is my graduation speech from 2018.
So, last year's speech was urging people to have the courage to take a stand for who they are and what they believe in.
Two years ago it was about making the most of the most of each moment in our lives.
What is this year's speech about?
What are some topics that come to mind? I'm thinking about letting go of expectations, slowing down, or focusing on one thing at a time.
If you are having a hard time with a topic, you can think about themes we've discussed in class like: the importance of telling your story/your truth, not judging people based on stereotypes, taking a stand for what you believe, or following the golden rule.
Another strategy for a topic could be to think of a favorite quote or lyric from a song and using that to inspire your speech.
"We've come a long way from where we began
Oh I'll tell you all about it when I see you again." Wiz Khalifah
or
"To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment." Ralph Waldo Emerson
or
“Find people who will make you better.” – Michelle Obama
You can also think of a moment in your middle school experience, an instant when you learned a lesson about life or love or friendship.
Hopefully these help you get started on a brilliant speech! Go write it!
