Picture Reminder and Not-so-extemporaneous Speaking

Picture Retake day is October 22nd. 

Students MUST bring in the packet they are receiving today in order to get retakes.  No packet/no retake.  We do have extra order forms for any students absent on picture day.

Not-So-Extemporaneous Speaking

Not-So-Extemporaneous Speaking is a fun way of getting students introduced to public speaking.  I will be taking 4 students each week, on the last day of the week, to get up and talk about whatever they want.  The catch is, they have to fill out my cue card ahead of time and maybe do some research on their topic.  

Friday speakers are:

Ryan R.

Jaydree W.

Daniel F.

Kelly W.

Rules for Extemporaneous Speaking

1. Yes, pets are allowed.  If you and your student agree that your pet is class friendly and can be transported without headache, they can visit the class first thing in the morning and go home or last thing of the day. 
2. If your pet isn't class friendly or is a headache to transport, please take photos/video and email to me.  I can display this while the student is giving their talk.
3. Come prepared.  Bring the object you are talking about.  Cue cards will be kept in class.
4. Speak in a loud voice.  (Level 4)   People in the back should be able to hear you.
5. At the end of each talk, students will take 3 questions from the audience.
