1 Prentice Hall Literature: Timeless Voices, Timeless Themes, Platinum Level '2002 Massachusetts English Language Arts Curriculum Framework (Grades 9-10) LANGUAGE STRAND STANDARD 1: DISCUSSION* Students will use agreed-upon rules for informal and formal discussions in small and large groups. 1.5Identify and practice techniques such as setting time limits for speakers and deadlines for decision-making to improve productivity of group discussions. For example, in preparation for a student council meeting, students plan an agenda for discussion, including how long they will allow each speaker to present their case or argument. They build into their agenda time for making decisions and taking votes on key issues. SE/TE: Book discussion, 349, Group discussion, 135, 729, Games discussion, 363, Panel discussion, 1045, Book discussion, 349, Debate, 115, 165, 495, 509, 859, Informal debate, 165 Literature Audiocassettes/CDs, Got It! Assessment Videotapes STANDARD 2: QUESTIONING, LISTENING, AND CONTRIBUTING* Students will pose questions, listen to the ideas of others, and contribute their own information or ideas in group discussions and interviews in order to acquire new knowledge. 2.5Summarize in a coherent and organized way what they have learned from a focused discussion. For example, students discuss similarities and differences in the social and political contexts for the views of Thoreau, Gandhi, and Martin Luther King, Jr. on civil disobedience. Then they summarize what they learned from the discussion, noting similarities and differences in the political and social contexts.

For example, students study the rhetoric of formal speaking by reading or listening to such memorable speeches as John F. Kennedy s inaugural address, one of Franklin D. Roosevelt s fireside chats, or Susan B. Anthony s Petition to Congress for Women Suffrage. After analyzing several of these models, students write and deliver a short persuasive speech on a current topic of interest Create an appropriate scoring guide to prepare and assess their own presentations, and to assist others in preparing and improving their presentations.
