    What Do You Stand For?

    Speech Presentation
    At the start of the unit, the class explored the meaning behind the question “What
    do you stand for?” Some of the topics discussed included: Why do people judge
    others? What will people fight for? We also discussed important causes such as justice,
    peace, bullying, freedom, and equality. We examined the role race, religion, and faith
    play in perspective.

    Unit questions​ included:


    1. How does perspective influence literature as well as one’s own view of the
    world?
    2. How does language affect a story?
    3. How can writing help a cause?
    4. Although uncomfortable, why is it important to read and discuss books about
    tragic events in history?

    Assignment: As part of your English II Grammar and Composition Fall Exam, you
    will write and present a speech which answers the question “What do you stand
    for?” You may wish to answer this question in terms of a cause that you support
    just as MLK, Wiesel, and Malala do in their Nobel Peace Prize speeches.

    Requirements:
    ● Answer the question “What do you stand for?”
    ● Maintain an overall tone of seriousness.
    ● Your typed speeches​ should be 1-2 pages and should be no longer than 3 to 5
    minutes in length.
    ● Your speech should be written in first person.
    ● Illustrate direct and indirect allusions (references) to material presented in ​Night.
    ● Encompass direct and indirect ​allusions ​to world issues related to the issues. You may
    also choose to allude to any or all of the three Nobel Peace Prize speeches analyzed in
    class.
    ● Use figurative language .
    ● Explore and answer the above unit questions.
    ● You do not have to memorize your speech and may have it at the podium when you
    present, but you should avoid merely keeping your head down. You should have eye
    contact with the audience, show that you’ve practiced the speech, have good posture,
    and engage with the audience (meaning you don’t stare off into the distance while
    presenting).
