ENG715 PUBLIC SPEAKING 3
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE The Public Speaking Course of Study has been developed as an elective for students in grades 9-12 who have an interest in developing and/or improving their communication skills. Emphasis is placed on oral communication techniques, as well as non-verbal communication skills and their importance in interpersonal conversation, group discussion, public speaking for a variety of purposes and other specialized areas of speaking such as oral interpretation, the interview and formal debate. In this course of study, students are required to utilize research tools in the form of written material, computer sources and knowledgeable individuals to help prepare for specific speeches. Students incorporate the use of technology when applicable and appropriate. They are required to demonstrate effective writing skills and proper research form in preparing written components related to their speeches. Opportunities are provided that allow students to apply assessment methods for effective public speaking through interdisciplinary activities in collaboration with other classes such as Social Studies, English, IPLE and other electives. Finally, in this course of study, students will be challenged to demonstrate their mastery of effective oral communication skills through participation in various contests and competitions sponsored by other schools and/or the community. Separately we assess students to gauge progress and inform instruction. Benchmark assessments for students in grades 9 through 12 are administered in the form of a midterm and final exam for full year courses. *Special Note: Only final exams are administered at the end of quarter courses and semester courses. The purpose of this revision is to update the course of study with the New Jersey Student Learning Standards for English Language Arts and the New Jersey Student Learning Standards for Technology, course proficiencies, essential questions and enduring understandings, teacher notes, and an updated bibliography.

THE LIVING CURRICULUM
Curriculum guides are designed to be working documents. Teachers are encouraged to make notes in the margins. Written comments can serve as the basis for future revisions. In addition, the teachers and administrators are invited to discuss elements of the guides as implemented in the classroom and to work collaboratively to develop recommendations for curriculum reforms as needed.
AFFIRMATIVE ACTION
During the development of this course of study, particular attention was paid to material, which might discriminate on the basis of sex, race, religion, national origin, or creed. Every effort has been made to uphold both the letter and spirit of affirmative action mandates as applied to the content, the texts and the instruction inherent in this course.
MODIFICATIONS AND ADAPTATIONS For guidelines on how to modify and adapt curricula to best meet the needs of all students, instructional staff should refer to the following link - http://njcdd.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/tools-teacherspart2.pdf. Instructional staff of students with Individualized Education Plans (IEPs) must adhere to the recommended modifications outlined in each individual plan.

AUTHENTIC ASSESSMENT ACTIVITY
TASK
Students will apply persuasive argument skills by creating an original public service announcement (PSA). The Town Council has requested that students in the Public Speaking course at the local high school develop a public service announcement about an issue related to teenagers. The council members’ plan is that students might be more persuasive in reaching their peers with issues of concern. The Public Speaking teacher will share samples of public speaking announcements using various electronic sources, including screened selections from youtube.com and the Ad Council: PSA Gallery to help students develop ideas for their public service announcement.
Students will view the United States Department of Transportation’s public service announcement about texting while driving. Students will analyze the PSA for format, persuasive techniques, use of text on the screen, and role of the actors in delivering the message.
Students will videotape their PSA and display them using the LCD projector cars. Students will view and evaluate their peers’ work. The class will select a PSA to send to the Town Council for their campaign to address a specific issue.
