Begin with a short recap of consonant sounds by asking students to list examples of words with fricative sounds. Read a short, engaging text aloud and ask students to predict what might happen next, encouraging inference skills.

Discuss the purpose of speech writing and ask students to share their thoughts on what makes a speech effective.
