Online Guide to Meeting Assignments
Weak Word
| Purpose |
 |
To devise a mini
speech around a single word, that is either rarely used, often misused,
or interesting in some other way. In effect, you are selling the word to
the audience. |
| |
|
|
| When preparing |
|
Devise a mini-speech
around the word, remembering to include a proper opening, body and
conclusion. |
|
|
Research the meaning of the word and examples of its correct usage. |
| |
|
As with all
assignments, prepare and rehearse to ensure correct timing. |
| |
|
|
| Before the
meeting begins |
|
Inform Chairman 1 of
your title, and how you would like him/her to introduce you. |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
What to do during your assignment |
|
Explain why you have
chosen the word. |
|
|
It is often a good
idea to display the word on a sheet of cardboard large enough for all to
see or to write it on the whiteboard. |
| |
|
Give examples of its
correct usage, and where it is often misused, if that is the case. |
| |
|
If there is an
interesting story or history behind the word, relate the story. |
| |
|
Encourage the meeting
to use the word during the evening. |
| |
|
When you are
finished, hand back to Chairman 1. |
| |
|
|
| |
|
That is the end of
your assignment. You will be evaluated by the General Evaluator |
