Objective 8: Presentational Speaking and Interpersonal Speaking:  I can use verbal and nonverbal communication when making announcements.  I can exchange information about personal preferences, needs and feelings.  I can exchange information about an event and/or meeting someone.  I can use basic language skills supported by body language to express agreement/disagreement.

Situation#1: Presentational Speaking Your parents have given you the opportunity to host a party for a group of your friends on your favorite holiday. Make an announcement to your friends in which you describe your favorite holiday and tell them that you want to celebrate with them. Include the date, place and time of the party. Because you want to convince your friends to come to the party, enthusiastically tell them what you like to do at your parties. Be sure to use gestures to enhance your presentation. To convince your friends further, tell them what you did at last year’s party, which was a lot of fun for all. Tell them what you ate and drank, and mention something special that happened. (See Novice Presentational Rubric)

Situation#2: Interpersonal Communication In groups of three, act out a humorous scene in which two students are discussing the preparations for a surprise party. The three will exchange information about such things as date and location of the party and preferences (i.e., activities, foods) on which they do not all agree. They also express needs and feelings associated with the event. As they are asking each other what has already been done to prepare for the party, the third student overhears them and asks what they are doing. The other two students must try to cover up what they are doing, because the party is for the third student. They create humorous excuses about what they are doing. (See Novice Interpersonal Communication Rubric)
