On Wednesday the 4th of October Alan Devine or louis off fair city came into our ty class to give us some tips on public speaking so that we were prepared for a weeks time when he would come back into the school to listen to a speech that we would have prepared for him. He told us to have a powerful walk to get peoples attention and stand with confidence to let the audience know that you are the boss , then he said to have a granny divine smile. He told us to interact with the audience so that they don't doze off or fade away and not pay attention. He made us get up in front of everyone to tell a joke and get us to practise and use hand gestures to keep with the audience. He also got us to do some activities throughout the day so that we could speak up so that the audience can hear us. Alan then came back into us again on Friday the 13th to listen to the speeches we made which varied from very interesting facts about space and the solar system and to the rising price of animal bars. I did my speech on farm safety and I personally thought it went down well.
