Alan Devine Public Speaking
On Wednesday, October 4th, Alan Devine, from Fair City, visited our school. All day he showed us the skills necessary to perfect our public speaking, such as..
1) A strong, confident walk.
2) The proper way to stand.
3) Eye contact.
4) Hand gestures
5) And facial features.
Throughout the day we played many games to help us with these 5 skills. Some included telling jokes, repeating dance moves and following hand gestures. We played these games in hope to improve our confidence and also our public speaking skills. Everyone was involved in all the games. This helped me to feel more comfortable in doing so too.
Reflection:
Overall, I really enjoyed Alan Devine's visit to our school. Although he striked me as quite a strange character I soon realised he was acting this way to help us feel more comfortable and make us laugh. I think that I definitely improved my public speaking and I am very excited to prepare my speech for Friday when Alan returns.
