Public Speaking : Friday, fourth period
Class was held on the lawn by the cabins. White folding chairs were set up in a half-circle, and a table in the middle had a plate of white chocolate macadamia nut cookies, a pitcher of pink lemonade, and cups and napkins. Glinda, meanwhile, stood behind the table.
"Good afternoon!" she chirped. "As you sign in, please take some lemonade and a cookie or two, and then find a seat."
Once everyone arrived, had gotten their sweets, and were settled, she continued. "Welcome, one and all. I am Miss Glinda Upland, and I will be your teacher for this workshop." She walked around the group, handing out the syllabus.
"Over the next six weeks, we will discuss the basics of public speaking, such as how to best use your voice, situations to be prepared for, and, of course, the mechanics of writing the speech. As you will see from looking at your syllabus, your final exam is a speech on a topic of your choice. Should you be unsure of a topic you'd want to speak about, I have made a few suggestions on pieces of paper, and put them into this basket." She picked the aforementioned object off the ground and placed it on the table. "Now then, let's get started with introductions, shall we?"

"Hello! I'm T.R. Wexler, better known around here as Turtle," she said. "Yes, that's a nickname. I'm seventeen, I'll be a senior in the fall, and I co-own the Turtle & Canary store in town, which you should all visit if you haven't already. I'm taking this workshop because I plan to be a lawyer, and I am also very into politics, both of which require that one know how to present themselves and speak very well. Thank you."
Another nod, and she sat.
