Speech Comm
[Today CJ teaches class in a pair of jeans and a man's tshirt that is five sizes too big for her. She looks well rested, but tense.]
201--Speech
Deliver the speeches you've been working on.

301--Register and Grief
Ok, gang. Sorry about yesterday. Didn't meant to just cut out on you. This topic is going to be unavoidable, so let's just work with it. How do we talk about grief? Death? Sadness?Everyone copes differently, but what is the register we use to speak to each other? To superiors, such as teachers, counselors, doctors, or clergy? How do euphemisms infulence how we see death? I know we have a lot of different backgrounds in here, would you like to explain death in your culture? We're going to keep this professional people. If you need to leave, do so. I honestly can't deal with this today, so we're going to play normal, all right?

201, 301
When her turn comes up, D'anna delivers a very convincing speech for the politicians on feeding the hungry. Her second is less stellar, maybe B or C level, as she's less sure of how to convince her friends to do the same other actually speaking with them. She takes her seat once finished and listens to the speeches given thereafter.
301
D bites her lower lip as she mulls over her answer. "I think most keep their register as professional as possible so as not to upset others or perhaps themselves, Miss."
