Slide 1

As a teacher you have to be the center of attention and throughout the school year you will be evaluated by a principal for formal observations. Stance is important when speaking in public. It makes a difference in the way you are perceived as an educator. Stance is the first lesson on how to effectively communicate in public.

STANCE: The definition of Stance is a way of standing being placed (posture). Animations :no

Slide number: 2 Skill or Concept: How to prepare students to speak in public.

As a teacher it is important to be a good speaker. You are evaluated daily by peers and it is good that you rotate around the room and Stance or posture is a very important element to get you message across.2When speaking in public a speaker needs to enhance their skills with sound

The best thing you can do is to relax. Don't worry too much about. Every public speaker starts somewhere and everyone has nerves, so just relax and try to enjoy it. The more relaxed you are, the easier you will find it and better you will come off to your audience. Before starting your talk or speech, take a few deep breaths and try to relax. If you still feel uncontrollably nervous you could always try the good old "picture your audience in their underwear" trick!

Slide number: 3 Skill or Concept: Sound: Something to be heard

Relaxing while your speaking and making your presentation fun is a key factor in getting your message across without being nervous.

3A smile takes much less work than a frown and it certainly is more pleasant to view than an immobile face exuding pain. In addition, inducing laughter for both you and your audience releases endorphins, the body's natural painkillers. Thus, if you laugh during your presentation or speech, your will find your body relaxing which will make your delivery that much easier. Not that I am advising you to deliver your material with a perpetual grin on your face; but, if you are able to add humor at various times throughout your presentation, you will discover one of the best means of controlling your nervousness. An added bonus is that your audience's response to your humor will bolster your confidence.

Slide number: 4 Skill or Concept: Smiling

Humor is an important tool in public speaking this graphic depicts happy people that are smiling. Confidence does not have to be that hard. Just believe in yourself.4You Don't Have to Control the Behavior of Your AudienceTo succeed as a public speaker, you don't have to control the behavior of your audience. There are certain things you do need to control--your own thoughts, your preparation, arrangements for audio-visual aids, how the room is laid out--but one thing you don't have to control is your audience. They will do whatever they do, and whatever they do will usually be "perfect."If people are fidgety or restless, don't try to control this. If someone is talking to a neighbor, or reading the newspaper, or falling asleep, leave them alone. If people look like they aren't paying attention, refrain from chastising them. Unless someone is being intentionally disruptive, there is very little you need to control. Thinking you need to change or control other people is a hidden cause of stress in many areas of life. This is just as true for relating to a group as it is for relating to your friends, spouse, children, or other acquaintances.Animation : no

51. Make friends Here's a way to create an environment for yourself that allows eye contact to occur naturally. It's called "making a friend."As you're setting up and preparing for your presentation, some people will begin to arrive. This is a golden opportunity and a low-pressure way to greet some people before you begin your talk.Say hello as a participant walks into the room. Introduce yourself as the speaker. You can leave it at that, or you can even ask a simple open-ended question, like "how did you hear about the workshop?" You're just making small talk, but you've now made a connection with an audience member that will serve you later.When you begin your presentation, seek out your "friends" for eye contact. You will feel more comfortable looking at them because you've already met them. It's especially helpful to make your opening remarks while looking at one or two people you feel comfortable with. This sets the stage for the rest of your talk.2. Divide the room into sections. Once you feel comfortable with a few individuals, you can start spreading your gaze around the room. Make sure to give each section of the room equal time and energy. Look at someone on the left side for a few seconds, then someone in the middle, then someone on the right. Don't neglect the people in the back!When looking at the back of a large room, it's okay to focus on a section or a head in the distance rather than try to make direct eye contact with someone far away.3. Seek out the people who are giving a positive response. Nobody wants to suffer an insecure moment in the middle of a seminar by catching the eye of an audience member sitting with arms crossed and a defiant expression. Yes, you'll notice these people, but don't assume they're indifferent. Each person has a unique way of interacting with a speaker, and some people will enjoy your presentation while appearing to indicate otherwise.If you're too uncomfortable making eye contact with people who don't seem to be giving anything back, look for those who are responding. Make eye contact with the one who's smiling, the one who's nodding, the one who's obviously "getting it." This builds confidence and gives you back the energy you need to continue.Remember, a presentation is not a one-way communication; it's a dialogue with your audience. They may not be responding in words, but they are communicating with their eyes, their body language and their facial expressions. The more you interact with the audience, the more you look into their faces and receive feedback from them, the more you are engaged in a conversation rather than a lecture.**Eye contact is key to building a relationship that is likely to continue even after your presentation is over.

Practice exercises in an e-learning environment should apply multimedia principles in order to engage the student and enable them to receive feedback from their peers.

Persuasive SpeechesWrite a question which demands an opinion on the board so the students can read it. Require each student to answer the question and provide three reasons or facts supporting the opinion expressed in a three- to five-minute speech. Persuasive speeches encourage students to express their viewpoints in an organized fashion. Be warned that assigning political, religion or race-related questions will result in active class debate.World Events UpdatesAssign each student a country or state for the duration of the semester to present about a country or state's news events inform the entire class, but it also helps the student practice summarization, geography and anthropology skills in addition to exercising public speaking skills.Mock Job InterviewsInvent five job positions and provide the job descriptions. Encourage students to write mock resumes using their actual real-life experiences, talents and skills. Invite parent volunteers to serve as "hiring representatives" for the five companies or job openings. Allow students to choose which job they wish to apply for. Have mock job interviews and allow the hiring representatives to actually hire one student for each job. Have the successful students share with the class what they did or didn't do in the job interviews. Language skills can be taught by encouraging communication through activities focused on realistic situations. In this activity, students utilize articulation, informative and persuasive speaking skills and learn valuable business information

The amount of learner control your practice exercise provides: As noted above students can use public speaking skills to enhance persuade speeches, How your collaborative activity enhances instruction. Students will feel more confident about themselves and it will encourage more confidence. As I tell my students they are going to have to public speak in high school and college and they need to become familiar with public speaking as soon as possible. 7
