  1. Impromptu Speaking Unit I will be able to speak in an organized manner without a script for one minute. I will speak to a specific audience. I will use correct English without slang.

  2. What are the benefits of effective impromptu speaking skills? I can: • Improve oral expression of thought • Develop confidence in public speaking • Think quickly on my feet • Develop leadership and communication skills

  3. “Thinking on your feet!”A Real World Skill • Unique because there is very little preparation time • Most of your adult “work” conversations will be impromptu. • Basic public speaking skills are helpful no matter the topic or job.

  4. So what will you have to do? • Choose topics at random from impromptu list. • Organize your thoughts • Demonstrate public speaking skills by: • Practicing impromptu speaking with a partner • Deliver a one minute excellent oration for a grade

  5. How will I be graded?

  6. Areas of Assessment: • Focus – In order to score well you must stay on the topic you have chosen. • Before you speak you must read your topic aloud so that everyone can hear it. Then you may begin. The teacher/judges will be listening to see if you addressed what was written or did you go off in another direction. 

  7. Areas of Assessment: • Poise – As a speaker you must project confidence in what you are saying. Even if you stall for a moment or two to gather your thoughts, you still need to appear sure of yourself throughout the entire presentation.

  8. Areas of Assessment: • Eye Contact– This area requires little explanation except that now the entire room is your audience. • Your note card won’t have a lot written - as there is just so much you can write and consider in a two minute period - so there is no point in looking down.

  9. Areas of Assessment: • Support/Elaboration – This is the heart of your presentation. • If you have chosen a topic that requires you to defend why a hungry bear that has entered the room should eat your friend instead of you, you need to have arguments to support that. • You also have to avoid restating the same information.

  10. Areas of Assessment: • Vocal Pauses–Do not use phrases such as, “like”, “okay”, “um” or “you know” etc.

  11. Areas of Assessment: • Delivery – This is concerned with the overall verbal quality of the presentation. • Was it vocally interesting? • Did you exhibit facial expression?

  12. Areas of Assessment: • Movement/Stance – Did you stand properly or was your stance weak or slouching? Did you employ gestures to improve your delivery?
