Hello- great sample & topic! 1. What age/grade level of students are you teaching? Or are you a speech therapist? 2. Are you letting students listen to recordings of themselves or others to determine smooth or bumpy speech? (I think that's what slides 5-7 are?) 3. Do you use any visual prompts that won't be disruptive/stop students in the middle of speaking to remind them to be more aware of their speech & to remember to use "smooth" speech strategies?

Comments: 1. I think it is great that you are focusing on skills that will help to reduce frustration- students definitely are more prone to "act out" when they have difficulty communicating and making them aware of better ways to communicate their thoughts may help reduce behavioral issues :) 2. I also like that you make connections to their every day lives by giving examples of how often they need good speech to communicate in their daily lives- both at school and at home!

Suggestion: It could be fun to find video clips of familiar TV programs or movie characters using both types of speech and allowing students to determine whether the person's speech in the clip is 'smooth" or "bumpy." :) -Kathleen Crowe
