1. Pair up.
2. Find a current event article online.
3. Write a response to the article (clarification, positive, negative, whatever, ...).
4. One of the pair will read the article. (It should be a minimum of one minute long and no longer than four minutes.) (The main focus here is that you have read and practiced the article enough that you do not stumble over the words.)
5. The other person will read the response. (There is a 30-second minimum and a two-minute maximum.) (The main focus here is that you have put together a coherent thought about the article.)
6. The speeches will be given tomorrow (Wednesday, Jan. 20.)
7. This is for two daily grades.
8. The scoring for the first grade will be as follows:
25 points-- reading the article
25 points-- giving the response
0-20 points-- adequate voice and apparent practice
5 points-- article within time limits
0-20 points-- coherent, proper response
5 points-- response within time limits
9. The scoring for the second grade will be as follows (and they are all in my opinion):
50 points-- doing your designated part properly
50 points-- apparent teamwork
