AASP Fall Lesson 2: Non-Verbal Skills for Presentations

Lesson 2 Handout (Usually under construction until just before class!)

Main Activities

1. Warm-Up: Welcome back! Stand in a circle and try to say all classmate names.
   
2. 1 Minute Speech No.1: Still standing, in small groups of 2~3, make your 1 minute Speech No.1 "My Favorite ____" to your group members. Also, can one or two people volunteer to make their speech for the whole class?
3. Mini-Lesson: How to make a group presentation outline.
4. Group Meeting: Developing the group outline and dividing responsibilities.
   

Preparation for Lesson 3

1. Practice your one minute speech (the same one!) with a focus on improving non-verbal aspects (smile, eye contact, gestures, posture) and voice aspects (volume, pausing, rhythm, emphasis of key words).
2. Do further research on your group presentation, with a special focus on your own part.
