What to look for]]> 2020-03-25 21:18:47 UTC https://padlet.com/weapp/passionpiece/wish/475439079 When Picking a Passion Piece Topic Ask Yourself: weapp https://padlet.com/weapp/passionpiece/wish/476599586
  • Can I expand on this topic? What can I add?
  • Am I taking a chance with writing about this or am I playing it safe? Explain?
  • Does this connect to my life?

    • ]]>     2020-03-26 14:29:23 UTC https://padlet.com/weapp/passionpiece/wish/476599586     Objective: weapp https://padlet.com/weapp/passionpiece/wish/476608662 a one-sentence goal of what you want people to understand/walk away with if they read/hear your speech. The reason that you’re writing what you’re writing.

    Example: 
    "I want people to understand how important it is for schools to provide nutritious meals that students actually want to eat."

    Please write your Passion Piece Objective in the comment section below.     ]]>     2020-03-26 14:33:09 UTC https://padlet.com/weapp/passionpiece/wish/476608662     Starting your OUTLINE 💭💭💭Option 1! NatFromBFI https://padlet.com/weapp/passionpiece/wish/477517093 It is time for you to start your 💭OUTLINE 💭for your passion piece! 

    Here is our favorite way to start an outline at Fearless Ideas. This is organized in a similar way to how you will organize your first draft, so this can be a great place to start! 

    You can copy the outline guide down on your own paper, or print it out if you have a printer. ]]>     2020-03-26 23:31:31 UTC https://padlet.com/weapp/passionpiece/wish/477517093     Starting your OUTLINE 💭💭💭Option 2! NatFromBFI https://padlet.com/weapp/passionpiece/wish/477521546
    Another great way to get into thinking about your 💭OUTLINE 💭is by making a bubble map!  

    Bubble maps are so much 🤸FUN 🤸because your thoughts can flow a little more freely, and they often look like a work of art! 

    You can try both of the outlines here, or just pick one. If you're feeling stuck, I recommend starting with the bubble map and then using it as a guide to fill in the outline from option 1 (above ⬆️)! 

    Here's an example of a bubble map outline (below ⬇️)! Start yours by writing down your objective in the middle of your paper and circle ⭕it. Next, write down the first reason that comes to mind that supports your objective. Circle ⭕your reason and draw a line connecting it to your objective. Then, write down the supporting details that support your reason, and - you guessed it! - circle ⭕ each of those and draw lines that connect them to their appropriate reason. Repeat these steps for all of the reasons and supporting details you can think of! Once you're finished, you can decide what is most important and compelling to put in your passion piece.

    Try it on your own piece of paper!

    Make a list of the things you think you want to learn more about your objective. 
    Where can you find that information?

Erica77 https://padlet.com/weapp/passionpiece/wish/513811584 ■        Having a “hook” (see below): a beginning that gets the audiences’ attention. 
     Examples of hooks: start with a question, painting a picture (visual), sharing a startling fact, or saying something funny.
    ■        Thesis Statement: One short declarative sentence that previews your opinion and reasons. No evidence! Yet.
    ■        Introduction to the speech

Your hook should be directly related to your objective. 
    Great ideas for a hook in a speech: 
    ■        Start with a question 
    ■        Paint a picture (describe something visually) 
    ■        Share a startling fact 
    ■        Say something funny

    ●        Use of short sentences - varying sentence length is generally a good practice, however shorter sentences are easier to follow in speeches
    ●        Use visualization
    ●        Ask questions
