What can I say about Dr. Phil…The man knows his speeches, he loves his students, he adores his family and clean jokes, and he was a great instructor.

Not a student speaker!!!

E &P

MelissaAlways friendly and delightful, always fun to listen to her speak.

LizbethMade huge strides in her speaking and never let the difficulty of not using her native language keep her from succeeding!

MarisaBiggest and brightest smile of anyone in the class.

AlexBlew us all away when we found out that he was a high school student, and he never used that as an excuse not to do his work.Always wears his hat…

AprilAlways smiling and laughing, even when she would be speaking and anxious.

MattAlways gave a unique speech that entertained the class.

Speaking of Unique…

UniqueAlways kept the class laughing, even if it was during speeches…

InnaQuiet and sweet, but never let that stop her from standing tall and looking the class in the eye while speaking.

PatrickAlthough often nervous, he always stood up straight and looked people in the eye as he spoke. He also spoke very passionately with any historical topic. And did his best to warn people when they weren’t making their time limit.

EmilyNever had a sour face in the class. ALWAYS had a smile on her face and always kept a positive attitude. Whenever there was a speed bump, she went right over it and accelerated through.

ChuckAlways spoke very well, very well studied on every speech he gave. Very friendly and positive when asked how other student speakers did.

RayVery quiet seeming, but very vocal when he feels that there is an injustice.

AllyssaAlways smiles and giggles. She has infectious enthusiasm.

JakePossibly the shyest student when we started this course, but now he’s one of the most entertaining speakers.

KyleGave a lot of speeches unlike any other, and blew a lot of us away when giving his demonstration speech…Then again, he brought his amazing dog.…There appear to be no pictures of Kyle.

ChrisAlways added a lot of personality to his speeches. I also believe that he was the first student to use a video during his speeches, which started a trend.

LinseyAlways had great eye contact with the class while speaking, and always prepared!

WillPerhaps the class’ most put together and well-prepared speaker. Never seemed nervous or intimidated.

MaxAlways a character while speaking and thought outside the box, ensuring that his speeches were unlike anyone else’s.

ErnestinaWas nervous every time she spoke, but always spoke with passion. Her speech about bullying left several classmates in tears.

OliviaWe all know her as the class Honcha. She spent her class hours buried in papers or speaking with a smile.

Xanax and a banana required!

If these are the bananas you’re thinking of, you may have taken too many Xanax…

Stress Producers

Marble DroppingOne of the most distracting and irritating sounds I’ve ever heard, but it made me afraid to say “Ummm” and other fillers.

Time KeepingThe timekeeping device was bipolar: It was either your best friend or your worst enemy…Some of us watched that device more intently than we watch the Super Bowl.

Bell Ringing

This wasn’t too stressful to have for most students. But for me I just kept thinking, “Oh my gosh, are they going to know what my topics are? What if I’m not clear enough?” etc.

Video-Taping

Video-taping was actually pretty fun for the ones doing it, but not so fun for the people speaking in front of the camera. It’s even worse when you watch the tape of yourself speaking…

Being late by 4 minutes…I’ve never hated clapping so much in my LIFE!Which is why when Dr. Phil came to a student council admin meeting we all clapped when he walked through the door…felt amazing!

What’s the largest stressor you ask?!

SPEAKING IN GENERAL!!Speaking is one of the most shared fears across the United states. Most people would rather do math homework for 4 hours than give a five-minute speech.

Although Allyssa doesn’t look stressed at all…

What we’ve been taught…Ready for a pop quiz?!

1. What’s the best way to start a speech?

A. Your name; people need to know who you areB. Your topic; people need to know what you’re talking aboutC. Something attention-grabbing, like a quoteD. “Ummm”

Answer:

C! You want to start every speech with

something that will grab the audience’s attention. Most people don’t find speeches entertaining, so surprise them. Add a bit of flare and personality to your speech. Start with a joke or quote to make your speech memorable.

E &P

2. What do you have to do before entering Dr. Phil’s office?

A. Bring him a StarbucksB. Tell a clean joke to get his attentionC. Start singing, he loves singingD. Take off your shoes

Answer:

D! Dr. Phil wants everyone to take their

shoes off before they enter his office. I’m not exactly sure why… but TAKE OFF YOUR SHOES!!!

3. What is the best number of main points to have in a speech?

A. TwoB. ThreeC. However many I dang well want!D. Five

Answer:

B! Dr. Phil taught us early on in the course

that a good speech should usually have three main points. It’s just enough to give people an adequate amount of information, but not too much to be grueling.

4.What do you need to repeat in your conclusion?

A. Your three main pointsB. Your three main points, your name, and your topicC. You don’t repeat anything; you wouldn’t want people thinking you’re stutteringD. Say “Thank you!” You don’t want people thinking you’re rude

Answer:

B! At the end of your speech you want to

repeat your three main points, your name, and your topic. It’s a great way of reiterating what you’ve gone over, so it’s fresh on everyone’s minds.

5. What should you always provide while speaking?

A. An exampleB. Your Social Security numberC. Your life story D. Why you took the course

Answer:

A! Always, always give an example. It’s a

great way of breaking down what you’re saying, adding a personal touch/personality, and taking up some time.

Thanks! We’ll leave you with Dr. Phil’s favorite

saying, “The good is the enemy of the better.”
