I'm going to go out on a limb with a big statement: this project was the most fun my class had all year. (This isn't always true with public speaking!) Almost everyone has to give a speech in his or her lifetime. In this fun project, students prepare and present SHORT mini-speeches from real-world scenarios, based on the “15 Minutes of Fame” that students will hear about or personally experience in life. How it Works: • First, students are introduced to the project and randomly draw one of 40 scenarios to present, ranging from Best Man toasts to Grammy acceptance speeches to the announcement that you’re running for President. • Next, students do light background research and complete graphic organizers analyzing the purpose, audience, and characteristics of their speech types; a brainstorming graphic organizer also helps students craft speech drafts that authentically mimic the real thing. • Students can then move on to write their own mini-speech that lasts for 30 seconds to 1min 30 seconds. • On presentation day, students take turns playing the “game”. Each presenter gives his or her speech, and the rest of the class has to GUESS what kind of speech it is so they can decide how effective it was. The fast pace and laughter during the presentations keeps the pressure down, so students focus on the game, and not their stage fright! (Psst... Since it's an editable file, you can make it easier or harder for your students! For example, older students might like to do this as total improv!) This activity is a bonding experience for the group and a confidence-builder for individuals, including my shy ones. (Don't believe me? Read some of the comments from other teachers below!)

I don't know how many forwards start out as a letter, but I figured it would be the best way to get your attention. I'm sure many of the books you've read and have added to your collection on Philadelphia history and local greats have had excellent insight to the workings of our fair city. But every story has a side story that often has as much or more importance to the outcome of that story... Many heroes never get their 15 minutes of fame and are forgotten in the shadows of the decades. My father has had many adventures that are not in this book, and that still need to be heard. My dad has a way of giving you just enough information and just enough humor that when he finally finishes his shorts, you just yearn for more. Maybe one day he will enlighten us with all the rest of his experiences that have made him a great man and made me want for such greatness.

Wood Chess Set from 1830's Barn Beams truly make a one of a kind hand made Chess set. Includes same Chess pieces as Queens Gambit. This Chess Board is made using beams that were reclaimed from beams that were once in a 1830's Ohio barn. Its really cool to own a piece of history that you know was chopped down and used by one of our Pioneer Forefathers. This is a opportunity to own a piece of our American history and a cool Chess set for your home, I promise you it will be a family Heirloom thats passed down for generations.I think Ive had my 15 minutes of fame. Ive posted a few pictures of where my Chess sets have been featured. The Netflix show " Grace and Frankie" has one of my sets which is featured in many of their episodes. My wife saw it and there is no mistaking my set in reclaimed wood with two big age cracks in the top. I wasn't aware that I sold it to a prop supply company in Hollywood. I sent the buyer a clock as a thank you and they told me they purchased three sets, one Gothic, one traditional old world style, and my reclaimed Wormy Chestnut Barn Beam set. The buyer let me know it was Jane Fonda who chose my set. One episode actually opens up with Jane thunking the Chess pieces down hard on the board with a lot of force, its actually filmed from above . (A side note is the king and Queen were placed in the wrong spot) One picture is a scan of the 2019 state of Ohio Tourist magazine which featured one of my sets, it went out in 400,000 issues of the magazine that were set out at rest stops all over the state. That same Tourist Organization featured my mantle clocks in a Holiday issue. I have Three Etsy Shops that all feature cool stuff I have made using Reclaimed 1830's Ohio Barn wood, the links are: HEIRLOOM QUALITY CHESS SETS at : heirloomwoodworks.etsy.com PEDESTAL BEAM CHESS TABLES at: chesstable.etsy.com BARN BEAM MANTLE CLOCKS at: mantleclocks.etsy.com FREE SHIPPING is in lower 48 states only, I'm happy to quote pricing for Alaska and Hawaii.
