Sorry for the late blog entry.
This week we've been working on developing Toasts that are due in class on Tuesday, 13 November. On Tuesday students received a handout with instructions and a variety of advice about toast style and structure.
We established the the ritual format for a toast is:
State the purpose of the toast
Thanks the hosts
Tell an anecdote (story) that illustrates the reason for the toast
Make (state) the toast.
On Thursday students were to bring a rough draft of their toast. The toast should be between one and two minutes long.
On Thursday we reviewed the state scoring guide for speaking, and then reviewed videos of toasts that were done well (or not) and analyzed what was done well and what not done well.
Finally students worked in groups to get feedback on their own toasts, and to begin revising these toasts for Tuesday.
Here are links to some of the toasts we reviewed:
Gets some of it just right
Many things NOT to do.
Bad job.
Strengths and weaknesses
Well done.
One more we didn't get to.
REMEMBER: Toasts due on Tuesday!
