Monday, March 1st continued....

I'm out sick :(

Here's what we're doing....

You will need 2 sources. Make sure you write down these sources (where you got your info. from.)

What makes a great speaker?

1. Prepared-paper is ready, note cards are ready.
2. Speaker is familiar with note cards, knows what order they're in, knows how to pronounce words, etc.
3. Speaker is comfortable at podium, or feels comfortable to walk around during speech.
4. Good eye contact with audience. We don't look at the top of their head.
5. Good voice (catches your attention, not monotone.)
6. Humor or comedy lightens up the room
7. Good attention getter (gets the audience involved!)
8. Speaker is familiar with their OWN speech, knows the information, has memorized or become very familiar with order of the speech, where they will say next.
9. Lack of filler words. (If you need to say "um," just pause.)
10. Speaker keeps audience involved, entertained.
11. Great ending, makes the audience think, "WOW!"

Once students are finished writing these down, they need to take their notes from Friday, and begin researching in the computer lab.
3rd floor, Art wing (old G hall.) Justin Clumpner should have this unlocked and ready for them. If there's not enough computers, they can share. If they need to print something off, they need to copy it onto a word document and then print.
