Hopefully, when the time comes, you can apply what you've learnt from playing ball and pushing your friends.
So how'd you like the bowling and throwing boulders activity?

Quotes of the day


Maya Angelou
We may encounter many defeats but we must not be defeated.

I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.


All great achievements require time.

Nothing will work unless you do.

I simply love everything Maya Angelou says. She's a great writer, poet, and she even cooks! Read more about her at http://afroamhistory.about.com/od/mayaangelou/p/bio_angelou_m.htm

P.R.E.S.E.N.T your steps to becoming an EFFECTIVE presenter

Hi people!
Aah, you've already survived the second week but the best is yet to come. Remember, you are on your way to becoming EFFECTIVE presenters! Put on your brave face and push away negative thoughts!

Anyway, as a group, you have discussed:
(1) the difference between an experienced and inexperienced public speaker
(2) why people are afraid to speak in public

and you have:
(3) supported your answers with your own experiences

Some of you have experience that dates back to Standard 3! Look how confident you are now! :)

Then you were asked to come up with your own steps using the word PRESENT.

Instructions:
ALL SECTIONS POST COMMENT HERE!
Share with us your discussion as well as the steps to becoming an effective presenter.

Write it in the comment section together with your SECTION, GROUP NAME and GROUP MEMBERS' NAMES.
Note, this is NOT an individual assignment. Once you have done this, you can work on the OVERCOMING STAGE FRIGHT post, if you haven't already.

Do highlight in your post any other interesting links that you have come across.

Thank you and have a great weekend this week!

Quote of the day


The object of teaching a child is to enable him to get along without his teacher.
Elbert Hubbard
American writer
1856 - 1915

When I leave, I want to work at .....M04

How many of you have ever thought about where you wanted to work once you left college? If you haven't, give it some thought and choose a place where you'd like to work at. Why do you want to work there?
Do a search on that company and find out the qualities required by that company. What kind of people is the company looking for? Do you have those qualities? What do you think your responsibilities would be working there?
