Public Speaking

So far i’ve really enjoyed my public speaking class. So far the work has been easy and fun. I hope when Mr.Paul comes the class won’t change much.

The best part of the class is being able to sit where you want. I really like that I can sit and chat with my friends. By being able to talk with my friends while working it makes the class go by faster for me.

I think Mrs.Elliott is so funny! She is always saying little random things that makes us laugh. I’m glad she isn’t one of those uptight teachers. She is very laid back and easygoing. The best thing about her is that she doesn’t sit and yell at us over every little thing.

I’m very excited to present our project today for her class! The project is to take five items that describe you and put them in a bag. We also had to write a short speech to go along with the bag. I chose pictures of fire training because I wanna be a firefighter, sinkers because I love to fish, shotgun shell cause I love to hunt, my camouflage key cause my favorite color is camo, and my cell because my world revolves around my phone.

I think I did pretty decent on the project thanks to Donny. Donny asked a question that allowed me to explain my project a little more in depth. He asked how do you hand fish. I went into detail about sticking your hand into a whole in a lake while wiggling around your fingers and waiting for a fish. Once the fish latches on you shove your hand down its throat and grab its gills to pull it out. I also explain how it hurts your hands when the catfish bites you, it can even make you bleed. Some people also wears gloves to protect their hands.

  1. Thank you for sharing what was in your bag. That way I get the benefit of getting to know you and a peek into your classroom! It also helps when you include details like Donnie's question and your response. (I have to say, however, that I do not think I could handle hand fishing!)

    P.S. I enjoy talking with Mrs. Elliott too!

    1. I enjoyed writing this blog! It was a lot easier for me to write since it was about me and what I like to do. To be honest hand fishing isn't as bad as you would think when I first did it I was horrified.
