1) Warm Up: Public Speaking Again (15 min)

1. Set up a Cornell note sheet. Topic: Public Speaking
2. One Minute Quick-write: What are your presentations like now? Are you loud? Quiet? Funny? Do you read from slides? Your notes? Do you memorize? Do you fidget? Do you give handouts to the audience? 
3. As you watch the videos, create a T-chart of what to do and what not to do.
4. Set one goal for yourself using this template: I will prepare for my next public speaking opportunity by _____________________ so that I can __________________. (Ex: I will prepare for my next public speaking opportunity by writing notes and practicing them every day for a week so that I can avoid reading straight from my slides.)
