Public Speaking [Tuesday, February 12, 2013, 1st period]
"Good morning, class," Josh said, coming in with a box of various gadgets and then signaling for Natalie and Lex if they were there to assist him with two more boxes. "If you've ever been up past your bedtimes, and you're teenagers living relatively unsupervised in a dorm, so of course you have, you've seen various products being shilled on television, aimed at the demographic apparently too stupid to boil water without help."
He waved at the boxes. "I've procured--" made Donna buy, "--a number of these products that will be handed out to you. You'll have ten minutes to examine whatever miraculous marvel you receive and then to come up with a three minute persuasive speech to tell the others in the class how it works and why they can't possibly live without one."
He also held up a bag of buzzers. "To make this more fun, the moment you've lost the audience's attention--even if it's not been three minutes--they will buzz you to sit down. Note how I don't give these out until I'm already done talking. That's called being smart, kids. You have to give back the telemarketing crap at the end of class but the buzzers are yours to keep."
The rest of the faculty will love him for that.
"Oh and...." he ran his finger down the class sheet, "Petra West, come on down. You're our next press secretary."
