Description

Getting Ready For Speech was a finalist in the Independent Publisher book awards of 2002. It features a wide variety of sample speeches; it includes storytelling, show and tell, and movie and book reviews; it is perfect practice for high school speech contests; it carefully controls grammar and vocabulary and recycles them again and again. "Getting Ready for Speech" is much more than the lowest level speech book on the market. Using a new approach, each unit develops both language skills and speech skills. Each unit introduces grammar, vocabulary, and listening skills along with speech delivery and organizational skills. Every unit features a different type of speech. Speech types include self-introduction speeches, speeches to introduce someone, layout speeches, demonstrations speeches, storytelling, show and tell, and movie and book reviews. Units have a proven step-by-step learner-friendly format: 1. MODEL--Each unit kicks off with a model, a focused listening task where students listen to simple mini-speeches modeling the units target speech. 2. LANGUAGE--These pages highlight and practice the specific language from the mini-speeches 3. DELIVERY--The ever-popular delivery pages isolate and practice the units delivery skill. 4. PRACTICE--These pages revise the listening task at the beginning of the unit into a pair work format that enables each student to integrate the units language and delivery skills. 5. SPEECH--These pages provide students with a clear, simple template for preparing and giving their own speeches. 6. GRAMMAR--Each unit concludes with a page summarizing the units grammar focus. Getting Ready for Speech--A four skills text disguised as a speech text!
