First Speech at a Glance


Hi Gang! Have a great weekend--Just a quick recap on Tuesday's assignment: Br prepared to make a 2 minute speech introducing yourself to us (see syllabus for points, etc) and including 3 or 4 highlights about you/your life--serious, funny or dramatic, you choose the tone. You may write it out and read it if you like. Try to make eye contact and smile once or twice--open with a catchy attention getter and close memorably (quote, question, statistic, joke). Don't miss my exciting mini-lecture on Chpt 1! It will blow your MINDS!!!!! (Did I tell you I am a bit dramatic?)

No I had no idea you were so lively. J/K. I am enjoying this class and you as an instructor already there is something wrong with that picture. Me enjoying public speaking the most shyest individual in our class. LOL

haha, this is going to be hard for me to get use to posting stuff on a blog because I am so not a blogger. However, I am willing to sacrifice 5 min. from my valuable do nothing time to comment this blog everyday. Haha
