Practices Group A and Group B You are listed under an A or a B on the schedule If it is week A group A works with a coach and group B works with a peer-coach If it is week B, group B works with a coach and Group A works with a peer -coach Both groups have practice every week. Ikran will be keeping track of what week it is and sending out an every Sunday to remind you what the weeks schedule will be.

Practices continued... If you cannot attend a practice, please me twice: once in advance once the day of to remind me. Choose wisely: we only require a half an hour a week, and it’s always the same half hour. You know very far in advance what your schedule is going to be for speech. There are other hours during the week that you can schedule things. Don’t schedule other things during your speech practice.

After Break: Performance Practices The expectation: ●Pieces are performance ready at the end of break. ●Everyone performs their piece for a coach or a peer coach once a week ●Everyone practices their speech out loud once a day. ◦ Practice is IMPERATIVE - speech meets can be stressful, so you need to have the muscle memory of saying your speech so when you’re nervous you can go on autopilot if you need to. The Goal: ●No scripts by Mock Tournament
