Public Speaking, Fourth Period, June 5th

[veryverypopular.livejournal.com]

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]

Turtle thought she noticed Joan noticing her noticing, and so her eyes drifted toward Joan's to try to tell for sure, but the thought of actually making eye contact right now sent her face a noticeable pink and her eyes distinctly elsewhere.

"After class then, I guess?"

Joan nodded and kept her gaze just over Turtle's shoulder cause, yeah, she was kind of embarrassed about the thoughts going through her mind at the moment.

"Sounds good."

Turtle nodded a little. "Good," she said. "Just as long as it doesn't take too long. I've got a...thing that the mun has only just now remembered later..."

"It shouldn't take long," Joan said. "We can stop by handwavily so I don't joss myself for later real quick after class."
