Speaking and Listening Standards

English Standards

Initiate and participate effectively in a range of collaborative discussions (one-on- one, in groups, and teacher-led) with diverse partners on grades 11–12 topics, texts, and issues, building on others’ ideas and expressing their own clearly and persuasively.

a. Come to discussions prepared, having read and researched material under study; explicitly draw on that preparation by referring to evidence from texts and other research on the topic or issue to stimulate a thoughtful, well-reasoned exchange of ideas.

c. Propel conversations by posing and responding to questions that probe reasoning and evidence; ensure a hearing for a full range of positions on a topic or issue; clarify, verify, or challenge ideas and conclusions; and promote divergent and creative perspectives.

On Monday, I, along with other students, went to Fresno State to talk to some entrepreneurs  to get some ideas for our own projects. I was expecting to talk to a few of them, we were told that we were going to talk to entrepreneurs at Fresno State and that we would have to talk for 90 seconds but I did not expect to talk to a whole class.

When we arrived, the first thing we did was meet up with one of the business professors. He took us to the recreation building that's where we were going to be at and he showed us around. He took us to two student's offices, one was a student who made their own stickers and the other one's business was an online page for those students who wanted to travel.

After the small tour we went to the actual classroom where we were going to pitch our projects to the students. So the twins and I went up and just explained to them how we wanted to bring a student store on our campus. We mentioned some of the problems that we encountered, what we did, what we were doing, and where we were at.
