Project #2
Find a supportive and non-judgmental way to let students know they have used
language in a socially inappropriate way whether this involves sounding too deferential or abrupt
and rude. To the student shown in the cartoon, for example, you might say, I understand you
want me to look at your paper as soon as I can, but the way you said it is not the best way to
speak to a teacher. Instead you could say, Ms. _____ , I worked hard on my assignment, and I
really want to know how I did. I hope youll have a chance to look at it soon.
In English or language arts classes, expose students to language at various levels of
formality and encourage them to identify differences. For example, after obtaining the
appropriate permissions show video clips from interviews and talk shows on television stations
and compare with material from shows that appeal to different audiences.
Encourage students to read and listen to famous speeches, such as Martin Luther Kings
I Have a Dream speech, and identity some of the elements of oratorical style.
Invite speakers to make presentations of various kinds. The president of the students
council or representatives of clubs, for example, might provide information and solicit support
activities, or the principal might visit to welcome newcomers and walk about the schools
approach to cultural diversity. Afterwards, discuss how elements of the speakers style differ
from conversational speech with a friend.
