Camas High School RSVP (Running Start Virtual Project) Lesson #12: Your Guide to the Senior Project Speech
First Off, when are Senior Boards? • Boards are held during late starts (7:45-9:45) on the mornings of Tuesday, June 3, Wednesday, June 4th & Thursday, June 5th • You will be assigned a specific time and classroom for your presentation • Bridges & Downs will contact you with this information • Arrive 20 minutes before your assigned time • Go to designated check-in site and then wait outside your assigned classroom
Okay, so who is on a Senior Board? • Boards are made up of community members and CHS teachers • Expect to be giving your speech to a board of 5-7 people • Board members review your Senior Project Portfolios ahead of time • A high-quality Senior Project Portfolio makes a great first impression on your board

How will your board grade you?? • Each board member will fill out a separate grading rubric for your speech • Board members are not allowed to discuss the grades, even among themselves • If a majority of board members mark you as “developing” in the same category you will have to redo your speech

A Word about time limits… • One board member is designated as the time keeper • The time they record is honored by the entire board • This means if you blow your time limit you will automatically have to redo your speech since all board members will have to record a “developing” in the time column of the rubric • There is no rule against keeping time for yourself. A stopwatch at the podium can save you a lot of stress!

Let’s Focus on Your Intro… • Grab the attention of your board while being pertinent to your topic. • For a hook: a quotation, fact, reading, dramatic, joke, survey or other audience participation, demonstration, or question • It could discuss your general interest/background in the topic of your project, how you decided to do this project, or what your vision of this project was. • Thesis: Make a clear, general point about what you did and learned. • Pause after your thesis before you start the body of your speech. • It should be no longer than 60 seconds. • Write your introduction word for word and memorize it for a confident start.
The Assignment for this lesson… • Write out your intro, word for word. • Practice reading it aloud and time yourself to make sure that it is in the 30-45 second range. • Upload it to your www.schoology.com drop box for this lesson. • Also upload it to the Class Discussion: April Senior Project Speech Introby 4/28. • Review and give feedback on two of your classmates’ intros by 4/30. Please be very specific with your suggestions.
It’s important to understand the fine print… • Successful completion of an approved Senior Project is required to earn a Camas High School diploma • CHS has strict requirements and standards for the Senior Project • Failure to complete the RSVP Senior Project will jeopardize your on-time graduation
