201--Speech

This week you are going to work on a speech of invitataion. Your audience is your parent or guardian who will be coming for you next weekend. I'd like you to use Ethose, Pathos, and Logos to convince them everything is all right, you are prefectly safe, you are learning and becoming a productive member of society, and there is absolutely no drama going on in this school.

Ok, Go. You may discuss it with a partner.

301--Parents and Guardians

OK gang, we've been discussing influence and trust and power and all that shi--stuff. Now we need to talk about communication. How does one speak to their parent or guardian? What information do you give freely, and what do you hide? How does your body language speak for you? How does it differ from peer group relationships? Is there any difference between a "chosen" parent figure and a blood related parent? Let's dig deep, kids. Go.
