Communication - Thursday, Period 5

[no-toast-thanks.livejournal.com]

"As I told you last week, this week's class is about public speaking. Public speaking is an important part of communication in that it trains you to organise your thoughts effectively and allows you practice at speaking in front of people you otherwise wouldn't be comfortable with.

If you haven't prepared your speech and can't get it done by the time it's your turn to speak, then this week you'll be getting a lesson in improvisation. If you have a serious problem with this assignment, I'll be at the back of the room. Feel free to come and speak with me."

Andrew hadn't prepared anything, so he totally got up and talked about the first thing that came to mind: dead languages. Specifically, he talked about a poem he had just translated from Coptic Egyptian about two male warrior lovers.

He drew diagrams on the board to illustrate some of the finer points.
