Distribute speech rubric.

Finish: Each student presents a 3 minute news item.

Class notes positive attributes of each presentation and makes one suggestion for change.

Start next oral presentation: explain something about yourself (4 minutes).

Day 3

Students read info at web sites for College Boards and other sites, teach class what the sites suggest colleges want in college app essays.
