Dare To Care by Denise Krebs
Denise Krebs initiated a project on improving the writing skills of a class of 8th graders. Her primary objectives were focused on what I call the 6 Cs for writing and at the same time, are still having fun. They are:
Creating
Contributing
communicating
Connecting
Collaborating
and Curating
I decided to use this concept with
my 9th grade class in a lesson plan for "Creating Better Speeches"
I still have to come up with a criteria for grading this project, but in the meantime...
Let me know what you think.

Evaluation The student is given a speech of an assigned type/ topic
(The following objectives were taken from Diane Kreb’s Dare To Care Project)
During the course of two class periods, the students are to complete a rough draft of their speech
Once the rough drafts are completed, students are to exchange their draft with another student for phasing.
Phase#1- Editing (1 class period). The students are to proofread, make corrections of grammatical and spelling errors. It is important that during this phase, the student collaborates with the writer so as not to change the desired effect.
Phase# 2 (1 class period)-Producing a final draft
Phase#3- The final drafts are returned to the writers for presentation (after a brief period of prep)
