Feb. 19/20: Interwar: 1-Minute Speeches

Today you and your group will present your 1 minute/1-slide presentations to your peers. While you are presenting, the audience will be watching and providing constructive feedback to help you identify your strengths and weaknesses with public speaking and in presenting historical information while using supporting evidence in a speech. This is a chance to practice the skills needed in "constructing arguments" and also in your ability to capture and hold an audience attention through voice projection, tone, speech cadence, eye contact, visuals, etc. 

Link you will need for class today:

• Formative Presentation - Peer Feedback Form (2020) - students submit this each time for groups other than their own

HW: Read "We Wage a Wider, Crueler War"

Read: The Human Story, CH. 20 “We wage a wider crueler war” (pp. 323-350) -- its a long chapter but this will help you with background information you will need for the summative tasks (summative claim and counterclaim and summative debate).  I recommend taking some notes in your Unit 3 notes document. Alternatively, you could make a copy of the PDF and add it to your own Google Drive folder and annotate the PDF by adding comments.
