"Ribbons" Speech

Prepare a paragraph response for each question, and on Monday I will ask you one question for an impromptu speech.

1.       Hypothesize how Grandmother felt about moving to the United States of America.

2.       Evaluate the conflict: How does “Ribbons” show that differences in culture and between generations can lead to misunderstanding?

3.       Evaluate the resolution: How does “The Little Mermaid” provide a way for Stacy and her grandmother to connect?

4.       Judge why Stacy thinks her Grandmother is a hero.

5.       Predict how Stacy and Grandmother’s relationship may change.

Here is the speech rubric.
