  1. Mr. Buxton this doesn't really have anything to do with the speech, but for our script how do we put something that were supposed to do not say because I was typing the script I came to that kind of part.

  2. Look on the example of the script i gave you. I think there isan example of this half way down.

    You just write it as a normal sentence aftr missing a line after the previous speaker

  6. Mr. Buxton in the speech i don't get the hook part. And do you describe Obama or the school children watching him or something other than those 2.

  7. Would something good be... describing word ... describing word... the it... what the it was doing...

    Such as: strong and bold the Mark stood up to speak to his fellow class mates at Jack High School.

    ... or am I being too exact. Or should my opinion be in my hook too?

  8. Also when should you use I? Can you use it at the begging? Should you use it in the begging, middle, or end? Or None Or anywhere in your sentence???

  9. Mr. Buxton i forget why you can't put something like...
    Setting my own goals for my education will help me succed when I am older...You told me in class that, that kind of sentence is incorrect. If i am wrong will you tell me and give me an example of what you are looking for. It doesn't have to be related to the topic if that will make you feel better. Also, do you have to use a certain # of compound or complex or simple sentences or do we just try to use how ever many we can, and can you do 2 sentences for your Opening???
