Today we played a game in class to help us better our skills in public speaking. First, Mr. Abrams showed his skills by talking about the word, ding-dong. Turk randomly opened the dictionary and pointed to the word ding-dong and that is why Mr. Abrams had to get up and talk about it. He went on for about 2 minutes, with no problem at all. After he was done, he then picked a word for Cindi, which was improve. She got up in front of the class and talked about what it meant to improve and examples of improvement. Cindi talked in front of us for a little over a minute, she hesitated a little bit, but I definitely give her props for getting up at all!
This game was to help us be able to public speak better. We are going to need all the practice we need in order to make our big presentations at the end of this class. It gets very nerve racking having to get up and talk in front of people- and I HATE DOING IT! Maybe if we play this game several more times before our presentations, it will better prepare us. This game might just be the trick to help motivate us to get in front of people and speak with no problem. Everyone always has a problem with public speaking, but once you have the experience, you will do fun. The key to it, is just to HAVE FUN!! (:

We'll do a bunch of this kind of stuff. It really does help. If you can do well with the dictionary game, you can do well with any type of public speaking.
