Junior Speaking Day

Imagine that....

And now... let's get to know 

each other!

Answer the questions!

Where would you like to travel to?

The most beautiful book I ever read is... 

If you could cook one dish perfectly, which would it be? 

I chose TTO because....

If you could choose only 3 words that describe you... which words would you choose?

Good practice

What makes a speech a good speech? 

Let's have a look and analyse it afterwards. 

Analyse

Take your work sheet and answer the following questions:

- Who was speaking?

- What was the speech about?

- What did you see?

- What points did the speaker make?

- What do you think about this speech?

How to speak in public? 

- Prepare: create a structure

- Prepare: your voice

- On stage: control your nerves (or not)

- On stage: voice, posture

Prepare your voice

Let's all stand up and warm up our voice a bit

Follow the instructions, all of you

Imagine...

Study the lyrics of this song and answer the questions on the work sheet

Imagine that...
(make your own mindmap)

Speech preparation

Any idea on a subject yet? A good starting point? 

We have seen and analysed a good speech, so we have some clues... but how to start? 

Let's work with a speech "structure"

Speech structure

• Hook/Intro – Arouse interest! Something you will return to later (question/quote/thought/statistic/statement/personal story)
• Story – personal choice – source? Research done? Facts?
  
• Imagine that… – reasons – how many? 2-3? Your connection
  
• Relevance to today – broader issue but still personal interest
  
• Conclusion – repeat reason for choice – return to the point of interest from the Hook/Intro – leave the audience with something to think about e.g. question, “what if…?”, “let’s hope that…”
  

Write your own speech

Take the speech format sheet and get started

But first: let's have a short break

Your speech:

- use the speech structure

- use your laptop and internet to find inspiration

- remember the speech has to last 2 minutes

- Enjoy writing it!

Speech en nerves

Positive feedback <versus> constructive feedback

Positive feedback: what went well?

Constructive feedback: what could be improved?

Now provide Louis van Gaal with some constructive feedback

How to receive feedback?

Don't take it personally

Take your time to think about it

If you can't use it, forget it

Apply what you can use

Speech, please

Others listen and take notes (feedback)
