Small Group Presentation Guidelines

It's Quarter 2, and we are moving on to our third formal speech of the year! This is the small group or team speech. For this project, students will work in small groups of 3-4 to create an event or party fora specific audience. Their goal as a group is to persuade the audience to fund their party!

Here are some guidelines about the presentation:


  • Each student must present an equal portion during the speech.
  • One student from each group will submit an objective at the beginning of class.
  • Each student will fill out a reflection at the end of class.
  • Charters are due at the end of the first day in the lab.
  • Outlines and visuals will be due the day that speeches begin.
  • Students should use Google Drive for this project to collaborate with teammates.
    • Elect a techie to share all of the documents with me and the group members.

This presentation will assess the students' abilities to work as a team, organize information, research, communicate with different audiences, and persuade. This project will take 4 days in the lab for students to create:

Students will evaluate their group members everyday, so it is important to stay on task and complete daily tasks.
