WEEKLY
SCHEDULE
Speech Notebook
This packet will be distributed to students on the first day of class. Student should bring it to class each week as we continue to work through the activities.
Students may also choose to download a PDF of the notebook to use on or offline. Some tablets and Chromebooks have apps installed which allow students to modify PDFs, making it possible for students to digitally write in their notebook each week.
Please note that students who use school issued devices are subject to the apps and security features installed by the district. These features may or may not allow access to documents from a non-district source.
Paper & Pencil
Sometimes, our class goes a bit "old school" so it's important for students to be prepared to write with paper and pencil or pen.
Students will also need a pencil or pen to complete weekly activities in their Speech Notebook.
Tablet or Chromebook
Students will need to bring a Chromebook, iPad, tablet, or other device with Wi-Fi capabilities. Each CLC campus has free guest Wi-Fi.
Tablets should also have an app for writing such as Word or Google Docs. Students may choose to write their own speech piece, commercial, or collaborate with others on scripts or skits using tablets instead of paper and pencil.
Please note that devices issued by middle schools are subject to security software installed by the individual school district and may be prevented from accessing files, emails, or websites from a non-district outside source.
Additional Resources
Students can visit the Resources page to find additional documents, websites, and videos to assist during their speech writing journey.
To see the page, click on the Resources button or on the word Resources from the main menu.
Within the Speech 1 section will be items related to our course study, including the answer key to our Speech Notebook.
