Why teach speaking?
22
Speaking and Listening: Flexible communication and collaboration
Including but not limited to skills necessary for formal presentations, the Speaking and Listening standards require students to develop a range of broadly useful oral communication and interpersonal skills. Students must learn to work together, express and listen carefully to ideas, integrate information from oral, visual, quantitative, and media sources, evaluate what they hear, use media and visual displays strategically to help achieve communicative purposes, and adapt speech to context and task.

Each year, 40 million acres--about the size of the state of Washington--disappear, along with the plants and animals that live there.

It was a crazy play. I was on 2nd base and my teammate was batting. He hit a ball to left field. I was running around third, the ball was coming in from the outfield, the catcher was blocking the plate, there was a big crash, we looked at the umpire, but she just stood there. We waited. And waited. And waited. And finally the ump said, “OUT!”
