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 |
| |
 |
It can be humorous, astounding,
heartfelt, inspirational, weird, hard to believe, or whatever. The
only real requirement is that it must be true. |
|
|
 |
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. |
 |
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 |
