Question

Assuming you have been asked to speak on the use of technology in the classroom (or a topic of your choosing), use what you have learned and any research you have done to make an outline with a thesis statement, an introduction, and at least one main point of the body of your speech.

Answer 1

Well I can't exactly write you a speech but here are some topics you can use.
Christianity
Sports
Cars
A favorite place.
etc.....
Now for a thesis- indicate the point of your paper but don't actually put "The point of my paper is..." Yeah that's not how you write one. Continue with a debatable phrase like "does..." "Does not..." etc.....Then you want to explain the significance to the audience. "Proving that...." "Resulting in...."
An introduction- tell them what the essay is about and rephrase the words in your title.
Body paragraph-  should have 5 basic parts
1. Topic sentence.
2. details/evidence
3. Commentary
4. Counter-Argument (opposing side)
5. Rebuttal/conclusion.
best way to write an essay is MLA format. 5 paragraphs 5 sentences for each.
Good luck.

Thesis:

Technology can be an effective asset in the classroom. Introduction: Have any of you ever been asked to put your phone away in the classroom when you were just trying to get a little extra help with the lesson? If so, you'll be delighted to hear the many reasons why technology is an asset in the classroom.

Body(s):

1. Technology is a quick and simple way for students to take the initiative and access information on their own.

• According to the University of Washington, "Smartphones are a quick and easy way to survey students during class. This is great for instant polling, which can quickly assess students' understanding and help instructors adjust pace and content."

2. Technology can also aid the teachers in their grading and lesson application.

• According to the University of Washington, "Tools such as screencasts and smartboards allow teachers to  . . . explain complex topics such as difficult math problems or a literacy activity because the use of visuals helps students absorb information and understand a topic more quickly."

3. Technology can connect students and teachers.

• According to the University of Washington, "Online collaboration tools, such as those in Google Apps, allows students and instructors to share documents online, edit them in real time and project them on a screen to show the whole class what you did."

Conclusion:

In conclusion, there are many viable reasons why technology should be permitted in the classroom. From the access of information, to the provided help for teachers, and the connection of teachers and pupils, technology is an asset in the classroom.
