What to do during your assignment |
![Tick](../Site/images/tick_box.gif) |
You may wish to show
the audience a copy of a book, but don't let such a prop become a
distraction or the focus of the speech. |
|
Don't summarise the
plot. Rather highlight the nature of the book or movie, its intriguing
aspects and what you feel were its good and poor aspects. |
|
|
This speech should be
delivered with minimal notes in a style which reflects your passion for
for what you are presenting. Remember to use pauses for impact and to
give people a chace to absorb the significance of your message. |
|
|
When you are
finished, hand back to Chairman 1. |

That is the end of
your assignment. You will be evaluated by the General Evaluator |
