| |Things to do to ensure calm and not panic: | |
| |- read about the details "Short Speech Sequence" here and in the Student Handbook | |
| |- remember that the first 4 speeches are not graded (except participation) | |
| |- remember that they are all only 60-90 seconds in length | |
| |- remember that you can take notes up with you, and even read from your script | |
| |- remember our classroom is a safe and supportive place to practice and improve | |
| | | |
| |Guidelines & Ground Rules for Short Speech #1 (the QUOTATION): | |
| | | |
| |Prepare your speech | |
| |- find a QUOTATION you have reason to believe will be appreciated by your classmates | |
| |- remember, always focus on your audience - what will they enjoy and appreciate? | |
| |- note the source of the quote (not the URL but the author and, if appropriate, the book or play it is taken from) | |
| |- decide what you wish to say about the quote (e.g., what does it mean, why is it important, useful, or interesting, what | |
| |lesson can the audience draw from it?) | |
| |- organize the information in the most effective way (you can start with the quote or build up to it) | |
| |- type it up (I recommend double space and use typeface at least 14-point for easy reading) | |
| |- underline your 'Central Idea' sentence | |
| |- you must hand in your speech manuscript at the end of class | |
| | | |
| |Practice your speech | |
| |- good speakers practice their speeches a minimum of 10 times (it's only 60-90 seconds) | |
| |- practice allows you see what 'works' and what doesn't in your script/organization | |
| |- be sure to time your delivery (no shorter than 60 second and no longer than 90 seconds) | |
| |- change your organization or re-write your script for maximum effect | |
| |- repeat (practice and rewrite until it's how you want it) | |
| | | |
| |Deliver your speech | |
| |- for Short Speech 1, you are allowed to read your script word for word in class (though you are not required to read it) | |
| |- I'll remind the class before we start about the other ground rules (scanning the audience and making eye contact, etc.). | |
