  7. About . . . This Course

  8. Public Speaking 2009-2010 • Syllabus (Long and boring—but VITAL information) • Please take FIVE minutes to read through your copy of the syllabus and then we will go through and discuss this. • Text books—distributed. We will cover several chapters in this book. The units will be followed by open-note quizzes! • Class WIKI—Please refer to this often—it will be your best source for up-to-date information and helpful course resources. Plus, there may be extra credit opportunities posted here throughout the term.

  9. Get To Know You . . . Essential Question: Who are we and where are we going this term?

  10. Just The “FACTS” . . . . . • You will have a few minutes to write down FIVE things you have done in your life. But there is a catch- • THREE must be TRUE –that you have really done • TWO must be FALSE –things you make up • You will present these facts to the class and we will try to identify the facts and the fiction • Remember—every good fib has a bit of truth to it—don’t make your false statements blatantly false • I.E. “Every winter I travel to the North Pole to supervise the creation of millions of toys in my workshop.”

  11. Ms. Marconi’s FIVE “EVENTS” • I have traveled to London to further study William Shakespeare. • I once flew over Great America in a small airplane. It was nighttime and the park was brilliantly lit up. • My brother once threw a dead catfish at me in Michigan. • I have begun writing a screenplay about high school teachers. • I was once in a rock band called Pseudopod—I played guitar.

  12. YOUR TURN……. • Please spend a few moments jotting down your “events”. Remember to keep them realistic and interesting! • When done, sit tight. 

  13. TIME TO PRESENT . . . .
