Lee looks at all his speeches and decides on writing one on the evils of fathers.

Parker looks at her speeches, and decides that one on how Dean Bristow is an alien and therefore she is emo and needs money for shoes wouldn't go over well.

She settles in to work on a speech about using communication to get what you want and communicate your point of view.

[She arches her eyebrow at Parker and smiles like she knows a secret. She wanders over to check out her notes.] Oh, no. You want a good grade, do the Bristow one. That was funny. And, um, I'm the one who fed you breakfast, so thanks for the flowers. I'm keeping half. [She winks and walks off.]

"Bristow it is." Parker rolls her eyes at C.J., but smirks back. "And you're welcome!"

Shep flips through the "Speech 201" folder on his computer, glancing over his previous work.

In the end he decides to make a new speech.

Sort of.

He goes for the clip show meta and explains what he's learned in speech by using exerpts from all his other speeches as examples of the individual points.

"Why you don't want to bore the crap out of your audience... and how not to do it... by John Sheppard..."

Shep baby, you gonna use those little people for a visual rhetoric angle?

"Little people?"

"Oh! My Sims? Uh... sure. Actually they do a whole simulated speech class of their own. You have to tell each on to talk to the others to build relationships and then you have to chose the most appropriate way to speak to each person to get the results you want. If not you can get slapped. Or maybe that's the result you want... who am I to judge?"

"You could use them next term as a microcosm study of how to get people to coexist. Avoid the OMGDancing!Bears though. They tend to get you threatened with detention or get your computer taken away."

He looks up and bats his eyelashes at her.

[She smirks] That sounds frightenly entertaining. Do that for an A. And you'll be in 301 next term, right?

Re: 201

Consider it done.

I honestly haven't given a lot of thought to my schedule next term. Should I take that as a suggestion?

Re: 201

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

Consider it a request.

Looks up and grins, "Aw... That is far and away the nicest thing anyone has said to me all day."

Re: 201

I keep telling people I'm a pussycat, why does no one believe me? [She smirks and wanders over to her desk.]

Lindsey considers his notes from his speeches this term. He's unsure if he can get 10 minutes out of either one of his favorites. Lies about Oklahoma was fun and so was Boys are Stupid, but he's not sure he can manage to stretch either one that long.
