Click on the Utah elevation map above to see a curriculum map I made for a Speech and Debate 1-2 course.  Click on the "Plan" pic below to see an eight day lesson plan I created for the speech event, Oratory.  The lesson plan references my Oratory manual which can be found in Standard Four.  

While I will always attempt to be flexible and as adaptive as necessary, I firmly believe a plan must be in set for goals to be achieved.  This flexibility and adaptive nature is crucial to differentiating.

My lessons are developmentally appropriate, being inline with teenage development of abstract thought; they are also inline with Utah Teaching Standards as demonstrated in my lesson plan curriculum map.  The adaptability of my Oratory lesson is illustrated in the accommodations section of the plan. The authentic nature of the curriculum map and the Oratory Lesson plan are achieved through high level understandings found in both documents.  The communication development in these plans occurs through informal group assessments, writing, delivery of speeches.
