Public Speaking, June 12th, Period 4

There were no cookies this week.

And Glinda looked kind of upset.

"Since none of you gave me speech topics, I am very much looking forward to today," she said, not sounding at all like Minsc, shush impressed. "Since your rough drafts are due as of right now."

She clapped her hands. "Pair up among yourselves and read through them! Make sure you give honest critiques! Anyone goofing off can expect to speak to me in my office! Make it happen!"

[OCD up shortly is now up. Oh yes, you are all on Glinda's bad side. Ping me in the OOC thread if you're willing to have your character serve a detention with her. Also, SP after noon EST to be expected please, as my parents are visiting for the day.]

Joan had managed to jot down a few points for her speech about bullying and school violence. It seemed like a good topic and it was one she had personal experience with.

She looked for a partner.

"Joan," Turtle tilted her head at the other girl, "do you think supply and demand would be a totally boring topic? Maybe I should do something on law or something. Or patents. I don't know. What are you doing?"

"I don't know," Joan said. "After last night, I think supply and demand could be interesting."

Speaking of which, she grabbed her purse so she could dig out money for Turtle.

"I'm doing mine on bullying and school violence. Do you think that's too serious?"

"Hmm," Turtle considered it. "I think it might be something that can gain a very interesting slant if you take into consideration which school you're at. I mean, not a whole lot of bullying here, although there's been some cases, but a whole lot of violence..."

She considered her own topic again. "Do you remember if we can use, like, visual aids and stuff for these?"

"I'm not sure," Joan admitted. "But I don't see why not."

She pulled out a five dollar bill and handed it to Turtle before putting her wallet away and jotting down a note of what she suggested.

"Ah, yes," Turtle took the five dollars and folded it carefully before tucking it into her bag. She took out a little notebook and scratched Joan's name off her list. "Thank you, Joan. And I hope so. Supply and demand is just so much easier if there's charts. Everything's easier with charts."

"Definitely," Joan agreed. "But I think if you can use practical examples, that will help people understand it better too."

"Like umbrellas during a rainy fire drill," Turtle said with a bit of a grin.
