Unit 1: Introduction to Speech
Subject: Speech Grade: 12 Name of Unit: Introduction to Speech Length of Unit: 3 Weeks Overview of Unit: Students of Speech will gain a basic background knowledge of Public Speaking. They will begin to understand the different types of speeches and their purposes. Students will learn more about the communication process and begin to understand how we incorporate various nonverbal skills into our speeches. Students will also understand the steps of putting together a speech from start to performance. Priority Standards for unit:
Initiate and participate effectively in a range of collaborative discussions (one- on-one, in groups, and teacher-led) with diverse partners on grades 11?12 topics, texts, and issues, building on others' ideas and expressing their own clearly and persuasively. CCSS.ELASPEAKING&LISTENING.11-12.1 Come to discussions prepared, having read and researched material under study; explicitly draw on that preparation by referring to evidence from texts and other research on the topic or issue to stimulate a thoughtful, well- reasoned exchange of ideas. Work with peers to promote civil, democratic discussions and decisionmaking, set clear goals and deadlines, and establish individual roles as needed. Propel conversations by posing and responding to questions that probe reasoning and evidence; ensure a hearing for a full range of positions on a topic or issue; clarify, verify, or challenge ideas and conclusions; and promote divergent and creative perspectives. Respond thoughtfully to diverse perspectives; synthesize comments, claims, and evidence made on all sides of an issue; resolve contradictions when possible; and determine what additional information or research is required to deepen the investigation or complete the task.
Present information, findings, and supporting evidence, conveying a clear and distinct perspective, such that listeners can follow the line of reasoning, alternative or opposing perspectives are addressed, and the organization, development, substance, and style are appropriate to purpose, audience, and a range of formal and informal tasks. CCSS.ELA-SPEAKING&LISTENING.11-12.4
Supporting Standards for unit: Acquire and use accurately general academic and domain-specific words and phrases, sufficient for reading, writing, speaking, and listening at the college and career readiness level; demonstrate independence in gathering vocabulary knowledge when considering a word or phrase important to comprehension or expression. CCSS.ELA-LANGUAGE.1112.6 Students demonstrate creative thinking, construct knowledge, and develop innovative products and processes using technology (ISTE 1 - Creativity and Innovation).

CCSS.ELA-LANGUAGE.11-12.3 Vary syntax for effect, consulting references (e.g., Tufte's Artful Sentences) for guidance as needed; apply an understanding of syntax to the study of complex texts when reading.
Demonstrate understanding of figurative language, word relationships, and nuances in word meanings. CCSS.ELA-LANGUAGE.11-12.5 Interpret figures of speech (e.g., hyperbole, paradox) in context and analyze their role in the text. Analyze nuances in the meaning of words with similar denotations.
Students use digital media and environments to communicate and work collaboratively, including at a distance, to support individual learning and contribute to the learning of others (ISTE 2 - Communication and Collaboration). Interact, collaborate, and publish with peers, experts, or others employing a variety of digital environments and media. Communicate information and ideas effectively to multiple audiences using a variety of media and formats. Develop cultural understanding and global awareness by engaging with learners of other cultures. Contribute to project teams to produce original works or solve problems.
