The Gatsby Benchmarks - any questions? Do you feel like you could talk to other students now about what the Gatsby Benchmarks are?
Just a Minute... To play Just a Minute you must speak for a minute on a given subject. If you hesitate, repeat yourself, or deviate, an opponent will interrupt and take the subject. Points are gained for speaking when the minute is up, correctly interrupting, or being wrongly interrupted. It sounds simple but for half a century it has proven anything but. Here are a few pro tips to help you achieve success: 1. When the chair says start talking, start talking. Immediately. 2. Try not to speak too quickly. 3. But, don t speak too slowly. That s called hesitation. 4. Never say 'er', 'erm', 'um', or 'ahhhh'. 5. You can only repeat the word of the topic. A wide vocabulary (or a mind like a thesaurus) is needed to succeed in this game. 6. Short words don t count as repetitions. You won t lose points for repeating words like 'I', 'you', 'a,' or 'the'.
Just a Minute... Now we ve had a good practice. Choose a gatsby benchmark and talk about it for 1 minute! This will help you to feel confident in talking to other students in the rest of the school about what the benchmarks are and why the school use them.
What can you remember? In our last session we spoke about what makes someone a good speaker and touched on presentation skills... Activity: Use the cards in front of you and pick your top 3 things to create a great presentation and be prepared to explain why you picked those 3!
