Promote students' ability to recognize a variety of themes or points in any given example or story. Provide practice in effectively and concisely speaking to a group. Examples should come from literature, history, current events, etc. All examples must have the potential to be used in an impromptu in competition. A coach may wish to limit or forbid personal examples.
Students are to summarize the essential facts of the example on a sheet of flip chart paper.
Team members must have their examples completed and posted on the wall of the squad room or meeting room prior to the beginning of the team meeting. During the meeting, each student has up to 90 seconds to present their example to the group. After each presentation, the team applauds the speaker. Return to Phi Rho Pi main page .
