Public Speaking
    In classroom 5A, Bobby is reading his report on Idaho from a sheet of note paper.  He never looks at the class.  His voice is too low for the kids in the back row to hear.  Three kids are gazing out the window, two others are reading novels, and the teacher's eyelids are drooping.  Afterwards, nobody remembers anything about Idaho, not even Bobby.
    Meanwhile in room 5B, YOU are presenting your own report about Idaho.  Your colorful flip charts illustrate each of your major points and they help you to remember what to say without having to read it.  You hand out maps of the United States with Idaho circled in gold.  As you come to the end of your talk, you serve a few Idaho potato chips to each of your classmates.  Suddenly, Idaho is everyone's favorite state!
    You'll find all the basics of excellent public speaking in Public Speaking, A Student Guide.  Prepare to amaze your classmates, and yourself!
