Public Speaking (C/SrA class)

Imagine Kai, Henry, and Luna are at a park. By definition, who is practicing public speaking?

• Kai, who is speaking to a tree

• Henry, who is talking to Luna and Kai using a slide show

• Luna, who is making a speech to a crowd of people

• Henry, who is speaking to himself next to a public place

Imagine David, Elijah, and Rohan are having a debate. What is public speaking really about in this context (not the direct definition)?

• Is it the action of David creating meaningful and impactful speeches to change Elijah and Rohan's minds and influence them?

• Could it be Elijah speaking about very important things, using beautiful words to manipulate David and Rohan into believing him?

• Or is it Rohan eating sandwiches in public?

• Perhaps, it's the action of David making speeches in a very impactful way, causing Elijah and Rohan to change their minds... and fall into his trap :)
