4th Grade Presents “How To” Speeches

A key component of the district vision to create skilled communciators. 4th grade students are applying those 21 Century Learning skills once again! For the past several weeks, students have been preparing a procedural text piece that teaches others how to do a certain task. First, students chose a topic that they wanted to teach to the class. Then, students wrote a procedure that explains how to do the task, step-by-step. Students then presented their “How-To” speech to the class and students had to listen for directions from the speaker and do the task as they taught it. What a great way to prepare for our Famous Person speeches in October!
