Public Speaking, Fourth Period, June 5th

Glinda looked like the cat who swallowed the canary this afternoon, and the students had frosted pineapple cookies to snack on with their lemonade today.

"Welcome," she said, once everyone had settled in. "I'd like to apologize for last week's class. I hope no one was too inconvenienced by it. If you look at your syllabus, you'll see that last week we should have covered outlining a speech." She began to pass around a handout. "Because I don't believe that you want to listen to two lectures in one day, read this instead. Now then, public speaking occasions that everyone should prepare for!"

She tapped her wand three times, and upon the table there appeared a tiny wedding cake, and a tiny podium with an even tinier award on it. "Weddings, and circumstances in which you have been awarded for your work. There are many others as well, but we will cover just these two today. Half of you will work on 'maid of honor' or 'best man' speeches, and the other half will work on your award speeches. No Oscars shenanigans, though," she continued. "Imagine yourself in a business setting, please."

"Now then," she said, clapping her hands twice, which caused the tiny cake and podium to vanish, "let's get to work!"

[OCD up shortly, SP to be expected for parts of today as a heads up not to be expected until this afternoon]

Of course she was in the wedding one. Turtle was working on a speech that talk a lot about blah blah blah happiness, blah blah blah trying to make it sound like you weren't throwing your life away because you were getting married only because your mother wanted to you to blah blah blah I guess your husband isn't too much of a jerkface blah blah blah.

Not that she was imagining any particular sisters and their fiances or anything, really.

Hmmm, okay, what kind of awards did businesses give out? Joan really had no idea, so she started drafting a totally generic speech.
