Speech Comm

201--2nd period

Ok, this is it. These speeches are your finals. 10 to 15 minutes a piece, and I'm sure we won't get through everyone today. Belthazor, Barbossa, and Isabel...go.

301--3rd period

So, I know what I get. A spa day. But how in the world do you justify your learning and knowledge gained? Make it good and you have no final. Otherwise Thursday will be filled with weeping and lamentations.

Third Period

"I learned a lot in your class," Boone said seriously, leaving a latte on CJ's desk. There's a brief note, really just a quote, scribbled down on a sheet of looseleaf: "You can tell whether a teacher is clever by her answers. You can tell whether she is wise by her questions."

"I mostly learned that people flourish in an atmosphere where differences are appreciated, mistakes are tolerated, communication is open, and rules are flexible -- " he offered CJ a smile. "I learned that you should first learn the meaning of what you're going to say, and then speak, and that it's a great ability to see things from another point of view. I learned that asking the right questions is just as hard as giving the right answers."

He paused, then grinned. "Oh, and I learned that good communication is as stimulating as good coffee."

"Good coffee can be more persuasive than all the flattery in the world, Boone." she said as she took a sip.
