Self-Expression- Monday- 4th period

[throughaphase]

"When you signed up for this class- assuming you actually signed up for it- you prooobably figured that there would be some kind of public speaking involved," Kitty began when everyone had gotten to the classroom. "For those of you who hate this sort of thing... sorry. But the point of this is to try and get you guys to express yourselves the way you want to, so we're going to start out slow.

"How you talk and what you say is how most people are going to figure who you are. And it can be completely nervewracking to communicate with people, I know. Especially if you're naturally quiet, or not comfortable in a situation, or have trouble finding the right words to get your point across. So let's share some tips. What makes it easier to talk to people, especially in a setting like this one? And then once we've dished, we're going to do a little bit of that speaking. So let's start with you."

What tips do you have for being able to talk to people? Especially in a group setting?

Speaking

[throughaphase]

Once everyone had shared anything they were going to share, Kitty continued.

"Now I want everyone to do a little bit of speaking. Not anything too in-depth. I just want you to stand up and talk for a minute about something you either like or don't like, and try to really get across to us the why of why you like or don't like it. I'll let you take a minute to figure out what you want to say."

[Handwave as needed! You can just say how you did.]
