Public Speaking [Tuesday April 23, 2013, 1st period]

"Welcome to your final exam, kids," Josh said with an easy smile as he sat behind his desk and drank his coffee. "Ten minutes each of an instructional speech to newcomers about life in Fandom."

He waved at the video camera. "These are being recorded and I'll be sending the best of them onto Principal Winchester, so...no pressure. It's been great teaching all of you. For those of you heading to college and real life next year, best of luck. Feel free to call me if you need a letter of recommendation or anything."

He pointed at the first student. "Get us started."

Maddie actually had worked on this, because she knew she'd be meeting new kids this summer and it was good practice in telling them things they needed to know without being accidentally insulting, or whatever. And the parts she definitely knew about (you might turn into a boy, have kids running around, turn into an animal, or get locked in a dungeon for a week) she sounded nice and informed about.

It was just that she'd only been here a semester and didn't know that much, so by the end of her time she just started trying to talk really slowly.
