If you want to make a difference in your community, one option to consider is running for office. Most cities and towns have many elected positions, from school board to city council to mayor, and any citizen over 18 years old can run. Once you're elected, you'll have the opportunity to help solve problems and make decisions to improve people's lives. Plus, you can consider running for higher offices, like state representative, governor, or even president! Of course, getting elected is usually not easy. Even local positions are highly competitive, and you'll need to be organized and hardworking to run a successful political campaign. Before you run, you should be prepared to raise money, give speeches, and have a well-thought-out plan about what you want to accomplish once elected. But the most important thing you can do is to get to know as many people as you can in your community, because your friends and neighbors may well become your greatest supporters. Which statement best summarizes two central ideas of the text?

A. More people should consider getting involved with local politics; the best way to get ahead in local politics is to get to know your neighbors.

B. If you want to be president, you should start by running in a local election; even a local election is not necessarily easy to win.

C. Running for office is a great way to get involved with local affairs; a lot of work and detail goes into a successful election campaign.

D. Politicians are usually motivated by the desire to help others; even with the best intentions, you might not win a political election.​

MOM: You need to start your homework as soon as you get home from school. You will be too tired to do it later.

ISAAC: I'm tired when I get home from school because I've been paying attention in class and surrounded by people all day. I also have to clean my room and take Boomer for a walk.

MOM: Your homework is more important than both of those things.

ISAAC: I agree with you. But by the time I get home from school, I've been doing schoolwork for eight hours straight.

It's important to me that it get done, too.

Finalizing and Presenting the Speech
In this part of the activity, you will use the sources you identified in task 1, the thesis statement you created, and your teacher's feedback to strengthen, develop, and organize the content of your speech. You will then write the text of the speech. The target audience for your speech is your teacher, so your speech should be appropriate for a formal setting.
Part A
Review the feedback you received from your teacher on your thesis and sources. Using this feedback to strengthen your stance and thesis, create an outline of your speech to decide how you will group and sequence the facts, opinions, and arguments you present to support your thesis statement. Your outline should build on your original plan by indicating how you will include ideas from the sources you identified in task 1.

Your outline should also show how you will structure the introduction, body, and conclusion of your speech.

Part B
Using the outline you created, write the first draft of your speech in the blank space provided below. Your speech should be between six and eight minutes long and formal in style. Keep in mind that an average person speaks about 150 words per minute, so your speech will be between 900 and 1,200 words long. As you write your draft, remember that your purpose is to persuade your audience to accept the opinion reflected in the thesis statement.

Your introduction should include the thesis statement and should pull your reader into your speech, showing the audience why they should care about this topic. The body of the speech is where you develop your main ideas and provide supporting evidence and arguments. You should consider any counterarguments to your position and address those positions when necessary. Work with the resources you consulted by quoting, paraphrasing, and summarizing them. Use appropriate citations wherever needed. Finally, your conclusion should not only summarize the main points of the paper but also leave readers with a message that gives the speech a sense of completeness.

The ideas in your speech should flow in a smooth sequence, and your speech as a whole should be focused on your thesis. Use a variety of phrases and clauses to add interest to your speech. Avoid deviations from your main topic.

Record a 9- to 11-minute presentation based on your close reading of "The Oval Portrait" by Edgar Allan Poe that answers one of the topic questions listed in the project.

Do an initial reading of "The Oval Portrait" based on your first reading and choose a question to answer in your presentation.
Do a close reading of the story in order to answer your topic question. Analyze aspects of the story that are relevant to your question, such as the historical and literary context of its author, the story's plot or themes, or the author's word choices, style, and tone.
Formulate a thesis statement that answers your topic question.
Write an outline of your presentation that includes:
an introduction in which you state your thesis
a body, in which you present evidence to support your thesis
a conclusion that summarizes your evidence and restates your thesis
As you prepare your outline, reread the story as many times as needed to gather evidence from the text that supports your position. Write down quotations you'll use in your presentation. Use information you learned earlier in this unit, too.
Rehearse your presentation thoroughly until you can speak smoothly but naturally. Do not write out or read your presentation word-for-word. Read quotations to make sure they're exact, but use your own words for the rest of the presentation.
Record your presentation. Follow your outline and introduce your evidence appropriately while using cue words to help your audience understand the organization of your ideas. Your teacher may ask you to submit your outline.
Refer back to the rubric provided in the project to evaluate your performance before submitting it.
