Seven Seconds - Limited time to make a good first impression - for teacher’s personal knowledge
Create a T-Chart = students will imagine that they are sitting at a family reunion. Imagine the

you excuse yourself and “go to the bathroom” during. WHY?

List good and poor attributes of good verbal storytelling.

Preview and discuss the verbal assignment for tomorrow’s class period:
Students will have 1 minute and 30 seconds tomorrow to present a detailed story concerning
a scar that they actually have or may choose to lie about. They will share their story with the
class and peers will write down: the name of the presenter, key details from the story, and
whether or not they believe the story to be true. After all stories have been shared, each
student will “confess” to the class whether the story was truthful and we will calculate how
well the other students “guessed at the truth.

Students will brainstorm the key ideas of their story on an index card.

Day 2:
Review the expectations for the oral presentations that are about to take place. Posture, eye
contact with peers, and articulation will be focused upon.
Students will create a three columned chart.
Scar Story Presentations
The students will take turns telling their stories. Students will present their stories and
listeners will add information to the three columned chart. After all students have presented,
the teacher will review the details of each story and students will “confess.”

SDI strategies:
Students are able to vary content according to the basis of their story.

ALL stories, regardless of quality, will receive a participation grade.
