Rough drafts

I believe I have reviewed all rough drafts shared with me.  If you did not get an email or receive a comment on your speech, please SHARE it with me (again) at GoogleDocs.  DO NOT send an attachment by email.  Final drafts not SHARED will be penalized. 

The final draft of your speech is due by Friday afternoon.  I will be sharing with your questioners over the weekend.

General comments:

Make sure your speech has a good clear intro--which gets our attention.  It should also have a clear thesis of what you are going to persuade us of.  Every body paragraph should link clearly to that thesis, proving to us that what you are saying is true.  The conclusion should link back to the intro and to the thesis--it's your last shot at persuading your audience.
