You will have 8 minutes to complete your "Introductory Speech Worksheet" and then roughly 5 minutes to plan your 40 second speech.
You may stand beside your desk to deliver this casual speech. You must use your entire 40 seconds ... No bailing out early. At 40 seconds I will instruct you to "finish your thought" .. At that point finish the point you are making and you are finished. Tell us everything we need to know about you in your 40 second time period.
Keep in mind the expectations of you as an audience when someone is speaking. No phones, no earphones, give them your eyes, and listen to what they are saying. Show them the deserved respect when they are speaking/presenting.
This is a daily grade - but the only way you can lose points is if you don't fill your 40 seconds with info about you OR if you have poor audience etiquette. Those are the only possible deductions.
