This week we'll start reading a series of three speeches. This week we'll focus on Sojourner Truth's "Ain't I a Woman" speech. Here's what you have to do for this week's blog response:
Think about an issue (problem) in your school, neighborhood, country, or world. Take a minute to jot down a problem that you'd like to speak about later in this unit, such as neighborhood rivalries, homelessness, racism, guns/violence, or teen pregnancy. These are just a few examples. Answer the questions that follow:
1. What is the problem you've identified?
2. Why is this a problem to your mind?
3. Why would you like to write a speech about this problem?
4. What are some solutions to the problem?
5. How would you persuade your classmates to changes their believes about this problem you've identified?
DUE: Friday, 9/2 @ midnight

ReplyDelete1) We are taught that guns kill
2) It is not the gun that kills it is the person with the gun that kills
3) I want to help people understand the real problem
4) Better regulation of gun sales, better education about gun control, using new technology to make guns that are not easily used without the proper authorization (like on District 9)
5) Research my topic, find supporting details and evidence and provide a written and oral presentation about my views.

ReplyDelete1. There is a lot of violence going on in the world today.
2. Its a problem because people are dying unnecessarily.
3. I would like to write a speech because I know a couple people that have died because of violence.
4. a solution to the problem would make it harder to get a hold of guns.
5. I would provide statistics and compare violence a couple of years ago up to the present.

ReplyDelete1.Problem: Racism in the world.
2. The problem is there is a lot of racism in the world between race, religion, and sexual preferences.
3. I think I would want to write about this to show people how dumb the whole thing is. I would let them know it is a real waste of time.
4.People need to stop looking at other people and not liking them because they are different from themselves. Sometimes it can be as easy as saying "Hello".
5. I would ask my classmates to join forces with people that are leaders not followers and doing positive things.
1problem:teen pregnancy
ReplyDelete2the problem is that alot of teens are getting pregant an they are not able to take care of the children
3 i think i would want to write about this because its a real problem an somebody i know is going through this.4 stop having sex unprotected but even if u have protectsion some people still get pregant so u should not have sex untill u married
5 i would ask my classmates a question like what if that was you or somebody u know who was going through that
Jordan B,
ReplyDeleteGreat topic: the war between Iraq and US. Very dense topic, so you’ll have to figure out how to address this in a three-five minute speech.
Kedejae S,
Teen pregnancy – good topic, and you mention some great solutions. I look forward to the speech!
Naya S,
Great topic, but you’ll have to make sure you don’t have the same speech as Kedejae. You mention some good solutions here. Good luck!
Delonte W,
Gun violence – great topic. I like how you point out that people kill, not the guns. Good points. Good solutions. I look forward to an exceptional speech.
Kaylen R,
Bullying – good topic. Very important to think about. You should have lots of life examples you can full from here at Crossland. Bullying happens here, right?
Davon P,
Violence in the world – good topic. How will you narrow this big topic down? What kind of violence will you focus on?
Justin H,
Racism – important problem. One that we’ll deal with in the second speech we read this year. This is a good topic to choose because you may want to touch on some of the points Obama makes in the speech we’ll read.
T’aqua W,
Teen pregnancy. Good topic, but a few others are using it. Make sure you have an original speech! The fact that you know someone who is going through this will make it a powerful speech.
-Forclosure
ReplyDelete-Forclosure because many people are being kicked out of their homes because they dont have the money when the bank ask's for it.
-I would like to write a speech on this because I feel that it's a topic that no one wants to talk about, either its not important or they dont have time
- One solution to this problem is the banks being a little sensitive when it comes to that matter
- I would try to persuade my classmates by trying to put them in a florclosure victim's shoes and ask how it feels.
