1. Debate speech.
2. While not technically a debate in which students will have to react to what their opponents say, it is a debate in that they and their partners will have to take opposite sides of an issue.
3. Students will pair up.
4. Each pair will choose a topic to address.
5. One of the two will give a one-minute statement taking one side of the topic.
6. The other student will give a one-minute statement taking the opposite side of the topic.
7. The first student will give another one-minute statement on his/her side.
8. The second student will give another one-minute statement.
9. The pair will decide who goes first.
10. Each student will receive a daily grade for his or her own speech and the successful presentation of his/her side, backed up with facts, etc.
11. Each student will receive a second daily grade based upon proper speech techniques.
12. In addition, a 100 on the next daily assignment will be given to the student who, in my opinion, presents well and wins the debate for his or her pair. That student may opt out of the next daily assignment, as well. I reserve the right not to award either of the students that 100 if both do a lackluster job.
13. Students must be able to present either side of whatever topic upon which each pair decide. If one of the pair is unwilling to present a particular side of a topic, choose something else.
14. ALL TOPICS MUST BE APPROVED BY ME.
15. Upon my judgment, especially effective pairs may receive a 100 on the next test assignment and may opt out of that assignment. This will not be debatable.
16. This speech is due Monday, April 25.
17. In the event that there is an odd number of students in a class, one of those students may present both sides of an issue, with two one-minute speeches.

1. Meeting of the Minds project.
MEETING OF THE MINDS PROJECT
A moderator on a television program has a unique job-- interviewing and discussing issues with his guests. That may seem common enough, but his guests are special-- they are people from history.
You will work in groups assigned by me. One of the members of the group will be the moderator, and the other members will be persons from history. You will script a program in which the moderator and his guests discuss one or more issues. The views of the guests may be similar, but opposing views always makes for interesting discussions.
You will be graded on the thoroughness in which the issues are discussed, the proper views of the guests, attention to detail, and time. It is important to get the views of the guests across properly. Using exact quotes from them would be a plus.
There will be other daily grades for:
a. topic & character choices on time,
b. rough draft, and
c. final script.
Your moderator may introduce guests, ask questions, steer the discussion certain ways, calm down guests, or do whatever else is necessary to keep the program going.
You do not have to wear costumes for this, but there will be bonus points for those who do.
You will be expected to memorize your part in the script. If a member of the group does not memorize his part, the other members of the team will not be penalized... only that member will.
The length of the entire program should be between seven (7) and twelve (12) minutes long.
You will act this out in class.

Jabberwocky by Lewis Carroll
'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
'Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!'
He took his vorpal sword in hand:
Long time the manxome foe he sought --
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood a while in thought.
And, as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!
One two! One two! And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.
'And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
Oh frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!'
He chortled in his joy.
'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
