After we watched more classmates give their Informative Speeches, we began Unit 2: Gestures.

Gestures
Gestures give energy and clarity to your presentations.

• We looked at the Glossary of Gestures on pp. 19-21.
• We did the Gestures Practice on pp. 23-24.

Layout Speech

Next week you will give your Layout Speech. It will be a poster presentation. 

• Your poster needs to be A3 size* (2 A4 pages together is fine). 
• Make a kind of grid for your layout. 
• You can show the layout of a store, a school, a park, an amusement park (but not Disney or USJ). 
• Be sure to fill the poster.
• Plan your gestures.
• Practice your gestures (especially timing).
• Prepare 3 questions.

I recommend printing out your poster as A4 size and then using a copy machine. Choose A3 and the option to resize to the paper size.*
