Every child deserves an effective, powerful voice. Speaking is the #1 language art. By far. Let's be intentional about teaching oral communication skills.

Want to AI-proof your students?

Educational malpractice: posting videos on YouTube showing students failing.
Teach students to be successful before recording them.
Watch 4th graders BEFORE instruction (1st minute) and 4th graders AFTER instruction (2nd min.) : youtu.be/dbYTc9ZZQNc
What if you could give all your students an AI-proof skill?
It can be done.

Gestures!
An offbeat and hilarious way to teach students about effective hand gestures: youtube.com/watch?v=b8mQvEsG… You DO teach gestures, don't you? You wouldn't put something on your rubric you never taught, right?
Dull read-aloud.
Weak poetry recitations.
Podcasts that make 2 minutes seem like 20.
All easily fixable. routledge.com/Well-Spoken-Te…
I'll buy it back from you if you don't like it.

NEVER POST SOMETHING WITHOUT VERIFYING THE SOURCE!
No, "the Internet" is not a source. Is there a "He said this on Page 114 of _____" or "This is from a speech on April 14, ___"? Be better, be less lazy. pvlegs.blog/2024/07/18/fakeq…
