Presentation of Demonstration Speeches--Week of 9/27-10/2

AGENDA:

PRESENTATIONS (4 days):

Begin Demonstration Speeches today and continue during the week.  Step up to the podium so that we can begin the class right away.

Remember to focus on EYE CONTACT, PROJECTION, ORGANIZATION, and USE OF VISUAL AIDS OR PROPS.

PROCEDURE: Use only note cards for this speech. Poise is very important, too.  Don't move around too much and maintain "mountain" pose, feet firmly planted. If you need the projector, turn it on and pull down the screen! If you want the music stand, get it ready!

FEEDBACK: Classmates will provide verbal feedback at end of speech using the "warm/cool" comment approach.  Remember we are all trying to help each other get the basics down, become better speakers, work on specific strengths and weaknesses. Be honest and make your comments constructive.  Give each speaker something new to work on.
