00:04	Hi , I'm Darcy from Lemos Learning . In this
00:07	video , I will discuss the importance of rhetoric for
00:10	students and demonstrate how you can utilize a vast collection
00:13	of public speeches on the learning platform to help students
00:17	become fluent readers . Simply put , rhetoric is the
00:21	study and art of writing and speaking well , being
00:24	persuasive and knowing how to compose successful writing and presentations
00:30	. It teaches students to think logically , discover wrong
00:34	or weak arguments , build a good case on a
00:36	controversial topic and overcome the all too common fear of
00:40	speaking in public so that they can deliver crisp and
00:44	well prepared speeches . At Loomis , we've curated a
00:48	vast free online database of some of the most significant
00:52	American political speeches of public addresses that can help students
00:56	practice rhetorical analysis coupled with our innovative Reading Fluency Analyzer
01:03	, which automatically analyzes the recorded audio and provides insightful
01:08	reports related to reading , accuracy , speed and expression
01:12	, helping students become fluent readers without further ado ,
01:17	let me show you how it works . Yeah ,
01:22	the speech that I have chosen today is called experts
01:24	from President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's Declaration of War . Part
01:29	one . Vice President , Mr Speaker , members of
01:37	the Senate of the House of Representatives Yesterday , December
01:44	7th , 1941 a date which will live in infamy
01:55	, United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked
02:01	by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan
02:08	. The United States was at peace with that nation
02:13	and at the solicitation of Japan , still in conversation
02:21	with its government and its emperor looking toward the maintenance
02:26	of peace in the Pacific . Indeed , one of
02:33	students can use the read along feature a teacher modeling
02:37	activity where you listen to the original speech while paying
02:40	attention to the highlighted text , improving fluency and expression
02:45	while you're on the page , you'll get an option
02:47	to record what you're reading , pause and stop the
02:49	recording as well . So I'm going to click record
02:53	and start reading . Mhm , Mr Vice President ,
02:57	Mr Speaker , members of the Senate and the House
03:01	of Representatives Yesterday December 7th , 1941 A date which
03:07	will live in infamy . The United States of America
03:11	was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces
03:15	of the Empire of Japan . The United States was
03:19	at peace with that nation and at the solicitation of
03:22	Japan was still in conversation with its government and its
03:25	emperor looking toward the maintenance of peace in the Pacific
03:29	. Indeed , one hour after Japanese air squadrons had
03:33	commenced bombing in the American island of LA , who
03:36	the Japanese ambassador to the United States and his colleague
03:40	delivered to our secretary of state a formal reply to
03:43	a recent American message . And while this reply stated
03:47	that it seemed useless to continue the existing diplomatic negotiations
03:52	, it contained no threat or hint of war or
03:55	of armed attack . It will be recorded that the
03:59	distance of Hawaii from Japan makes it obvious that the
04:03	attack was deliberately planned many days or even weeks ago
04:08	. During the intervening time , the Japanese government has
04:11	deliberately sought to deceive the United States by false statements
04:15	and expressions of hope for continued peace . The attack
04:20	yesterday on the Hawaiian Islands has caused severe damage to
04:23	American naval and military forces . I regret to tell
04:27	you that very many American lives have been lost .

04:50	fluency analyzer automatically analyzes your audio and provides insightful reading
04:55	proficiency reports in a tabular view , such as the

05:02	number of words that you just read the number of
05:06	words read correctly . The number of words read incorrectly
05:11	. The number of words misreading most importantly , the
05:16	accuracy i e . The number of words read correctly
05:20	compared to the total number of words in the passage
05:25	as you come down , it shows you the transcribed
05:27	text . The correct incorrect and missing words are also

05:42	interesting graphs , the pitch graph and the intensity graph

This page not only allows students and teachers view Practice Rhetorical Analysis and Improve Reading Fluency for Student |Lumos Reading Fluency Analyzer but also find engaging Sample Questions, Apps, Pins, Worksheets, Books related to the following topics.

1. 8.SP.1 : Construct and interpret scatter plots for bivariate measurement data to investigate patterns of association between two quantities. Describe patterns such as clustering, outliers, positive or negative association, linear association, and nonlinear association..

2. 8.SP.2 : Know that straight lines are widely used to model relationships between two quantitative variables. For scatter plots that suggest a linear association, informally fit a straight line, and informally assess the model fit by judging the closeness of the data points to the line..

3. 8.SP.3 : Use the equation of a linear model to solve problems in the context of bivariate measurement data, interpreting the slope and intercept. For example, in a linear model for a biology experiment, interpret a slope of 1.5 cm/hr as meaning that an additional hour of sunlight each day is associated with an additional 1.5 cm in mature plant height..
