Prepare for the first, informal speech

Today we watched Lewis Pugh's mind-shifting Everest swim Ted Talk and provided feedback during his speech. This was good training for our speeches tomorrow. Even as audience members, you will be participating by providing descriptive, specific, positive, constructive, sensitive, and realistic feedback to your classmates as they present.

As I walked around today, I noticed that you all had a working Prezi and that each group member had a meme ready to show the class. As you prepare for Thursday, consider the difficulty in talking for 2 to 3 minutes on your meme. I encourage you to think about an event or situation that explains why you chose your meme. Have a brief outline so you don't forget what to say.

Here is what I'll be expecting to hear from your groups:

1. A quick intro and overview for the group (15 to 30 seconds)
2. Smooth transition to first speaker and speech (2 to 3 minutes)
3. Smooth transition to second speaker and speech (2 to 3 minutes)
4. Smooth transition to third speaker and speech (2 to 3 minutes)
5. Smooth transition to fourth speaker (if applicable) and speech (2 to 3 minutes)
6. A quick closing statement and thank you (10 to 20 seconds). Do not ask for questions--there's no time.

Have a great Wednesday. Let me know if you have any questions.
