Students run a practice presentation circle in small groups, delivering their speech with their one-page action brief and responding to 2 live challenge questions using evidence rather than opinion alone. After the rehearsal, each student records a quick voice memo naming one idea, one feeling, and one way their thinking changed because of the evidence, then adds the memo and revised draft to their portfolio.
