Scribe Period Four 5/9/14
Today in class was a work day to finish up our speeches as some of us present starting Monday. We started off by collecting any Brand New World books or any other books that we still have. The presentation part of our speech has to be shared with Ms. Smith before we go so everyone can see it. We link the presentation to our name from the daily agenda on the class webpage. In the beginning of our speech we need an attention getter to start off such as a video or something that would engage the audience. To start off Smith told us that two pages of a non-double spaced paper would be five minutes as a starting point but could vary depending on how fast we talk and other things. Our speeches will be video taped and we are able to use or phone and have the Google Drive app up while we are presenting to prepare our selves as long we aren't reading straight from it as we will be docked points.

Wednesday May 7
Today Mrs. Smith welcomed us as always.
"Hello class" "Hello Mrs.Smith"
Mrs. Smith started class off by showing a Ted talk called "Faking it" If you were not in class I strongly suggest you take the time to watch, pull some of those ideas out of her speech and use them to prepare for your speech. After watching, we talked as a class how none of us want to see any one fail while giving there presentation. We all have something important to say so we need to show respect and listen to one another. Smile in the audience show you are paying attention.
Also, remember that you must dress up on the day of your presentation, and have your visuals or what ever you are using for your speech shared on a jump drive or email to Mrs. Smith the day of your presentation.
We then just had a work day and got focused on our speech make sure you are practicing and ready to give a 5 minute speech on the day you go. Create and outline, note-card, whatever is going to work to prepare you to go next week. Be confident and ready to go next week! Friday will also be another work day, bring in pictures or whatever you need to make it another productive day!!
