In Class Project Preparation

In Senior Project we have been doing this activity that helps with public speaking. I know that it is scary for many of us to get on stage in front of everyone for forty minutes, including myself. For this activity, someone opens the dictionary to a random page and picks a random word for someone else to talk about for a minute. This helps you develop some of the skills of a good public speaker that is able get up in front of anywhere and talk about anything on the spot. One of the things that I noticed that I need to improve is my habit of saying "um". I need to be able to think on my toes and keep talking so that the audience stays interested.
