Warm Up, May 7th Go to our class blog and read the introduction for a speech posted on today’s bullet. What makes it effective, and why? Be specific.

What is effective? The waiter bows and places in front of you the most perfect, rare, tender cut of seared ahi crusted with hazelnuts and resting in a bed of wild rice and citrus herb risotto. A delicate mint pesto and sprigs of lemon mint accent the presentation, adding color and a touch of surprising flavor. It is for experiences like this, those special occasions, when we turn to true artists who use the perfect blend of flavors, textures, and smells to give us a meal we’ll always remember. Hello, my name is Joe Papermaker and for my Senior Project, I job shadowed James Bread, the executive chef at “Elemental” restaurant in Portland. Ever since I was in elementary school, I’ve always loved playing with my food. My mom always enjoyed baking, and my step-dad was always firing up the grill, but after catching a few shows on the Food Network, I became fascinated with the incredible variety and possibility involved with cooking. During my Job Shadow, I was able to spend nearly 40 hours seeing what it is really like to not only cook, but also make all of the culinary decisions for a top-tier, popular restaurant. I got to see how several menu items were invented and the way that the executive chef decides how to build a successful menu.

Learning Targets I can writing an interesting and effective introductory hook for my presentation. I can use a model of a completed graphic organizer as a basis for planning out my presentation.
