Student Goals:

1. Reduce student anxiety about public speaking; deliver 2-3-minute speech in class
2. Reduce student impulsive behavior

Methods:

1. Anxiety:
• work in small groups, interact with others
• observe and record classroom participation 
• set specific # of times as goal after data collected
• review and reset goals with improvement (# of participation times, # of people interacted with, etc)
• deliver short speech (30 seconds- 1 minute)  to small group
• deliver 2-minute speech to small group
• Deliver 2-3-minute speech to class
2. Impulsive Behavior: 
• Observe and record student behavior (Heather and Kim)
• Establish typical # of times/class period
• Set a # goal to lesson impulsive behavior

How will we know when goal is met?

1. Anxiety: completion of formative steps: 
• small group interaction
• short small group speech
• longer small group speech
• longer speech to class
2. Impulsive Behavior:
• Observational data will either show reduction in occurrence or not
