5th Hour Reading - 2020-21-Tuesday/Thursday 10:30 - 11:55 a.m. Assignments

Thursday, you will “pitch” your 20Time Completed Speech. The speech must be at least 2 minutes long but no more than 3 minutes. 


Directions: 


1. You will deliver a two to three minute speech on your 20Time project, explaining what you did and, more importantly, what you learned from the project. 

2. The speech should inform the audience about your project in an interesting way. Your speech should be interesting, entertaining, and leave the audience feeling that we learned something valuable from your presentation. 

3. Your presentation must include a visual element (Google Slides) to help illustrate your topic and to maintain your audience’s attention. The purpose of a visual aid is to add interest with charts, photos, video clips, screenshots, maps, etc. 

4. You should NOT read sentences directly from slides, which 20Time Speech Assignment will bore your audience. To prevent this, your visual aid must contain a minimum of two slides with a total maximum of 50 words, no matter how many additional slides you add. Keep in mind that any video clips will not be counted in your three-to-five minute time limit


You will also participate in a full-class question/answer session after your speech (a kinder, gentler Shark Tank experience of sorts), so be ready to further explain/defend your idea.

In the business world, an “elevator pitch” is a quick, passionately delivered description of a product that an inventor/business owner has created. You never know when you’ll be standing in line or sharing an elevator ride with a rich and powerful investor. To make the most of such an opportunity, an inventor must have an elevator pitch ready to roll at a moment’s notice.


Next week, you will “pitch” your 20Time Project idea to the full class with a 60-second elevator pitch/mini-presentation.
Your pitch must include:

Your name
What you want to create during your 20Time Project
Why you chose this project (Tell a little story, perhaps?)
What materials/resources you’ll need
What obstacles you anticipate and your plan to navigate those obstacles
Why this project is worthy of a significant investment of time
Graciously thank the audience for our time/consideration of your idea
Be organized with your thoughts and ready to speak passionately about your 20Time Project proposal.

Now that we have finished our podcast, I thought it would be fun to review what we've learned and review important events by playing two truths and a lie, but do it based on our podcast! Follow the directions below to get started.

*Create a StoryboardThat account.

Make sure you SAVE as you go as it does NOT save on its own.

Your two truths and a lie must have three cells (2 truths and 1 lie).

1. First, choose a free background (will NOT have a lock on it), but be careful to not use a background that wouldn't match our setting of the podcast.
2. Next, choose characters you might need (Ex: Ridgen, Barbara - mom, Maurey - dad, Diver, Dog, etc.)
3. Next, choose the focus of your background.
4. Add words and/or dialogue from the podcast. Make sure since they are not your own words that you include quotes around them.
5. Change your characters' facial expressions.
6. Change your characters' actions and/or body language.

REPEAT Steps 1-6 for your next two panels.

Remember to NOT order them right in a row as two truths and a lie as it will be obvious. Try to make your lie something that doesn't seem so out there that it is obvious.
