I am a very lucky person when it comes to my Communications 1200 class. I forgot to read the chapters the day that we had a quiz at the beginning of class before a lecture over those very chapters. Oops. I also was selected to speak on the first day of speeches. Go Julia!
Now this could be seen as an issue of not so much time to write a beautiful speech. Rather, I am seeing it as a way to tell myself to get into gear and start writing this thing.
Okay self, so what do I talk about? How to be blonde? I'm good at that. Nah let's try that one thingy they teach us about before we teach workshops on State Council.
The Experiential Learning Model.
Now to write. See, being in college I find it difficult to write speeches with the lack of a huge mirror and expo markers to organize this beast for me. Rather I am sitting in bed trying to apply my once amazing extemporaneous speaking prep strategy to a prepared speech. Well that of course and Prezi. In case you didn't know, Prezi is a great tool that allows you to create presentations that put the whole picture together. Rather than flipping through slides, you zoom in and move around on a huge virtual posterboard. I love it.
Now, as I began research tonight, I noticed one common factor between all of the various articles on Mizzou's online library pertaining to the ELM, The Agricultural Education Magazine has published several wonderful articles about how it pertains to the FFA motto, Doing to Learn. Why didn't I think of this sooner for my FFA Speech? Too late I guess.
Now, back to the grindstone,
Julia
