Anthony,
ReplyDeleteGreat idea: school lunches. Will make for a great speech. We need to get better food because this nourishes the mind. There are some great books and documentaries out there on cafeteria food around the country. You should read/watch those as you prepare for your speech. The IB program would like to have students actually create a garden here at Crossland. You might want to incorporate this into your speech. So much of the food that is served in public schools is highly processed and filled the high fructose corn syrup.
Aliah,
Great topic: violence. You’ll have to narrow this down in your speech. What kind of violence will you focus on? Great ideas for your speech. I look forward to it!
Darius,
Great idea for your speech. Drug use. Big problem in our schools. How do we get drugs off our streets and out of our school? Big topic. Good luck!
Ivahanna,
Animal abuse. Great topic. So many directions you could take.
Rico,
Great topic – violence in the world. You’ll have to narrow this down a bit, though.
Desiree,
Big one – global warming. Very rich topic, and a very hot one. Great ideas you discuss in your response. I look forward to your speech.
