​4.3.4 Practice Adapting your 4.2.4 Speech

​Take your speech from the previous lesson — the one that takes a stand on an issue that affects you personally — and update it according to the feedback you received from your peers.

Then adapt your speech to a new audience and situation: your teacher and the whole classroom.

Add credible media elements to enhance the speech, creating them yourself, if necessary.

Finally, deliver your speech to this new audience using your voice, nonverbal communication, and pacing effectively....... OR NOT.

​Text portion of the 4.3.4 Practice
