1. Getting Ready for Speech Note Cards  Take out your written speech and/or your PowerPoint or Speech Outline  Read through it several times and add in information that you think needs to be added  Remember to think about events that have happened since Winter Break started  Work on final draft of research paper  Finalizing a product  Uploading a PowerPoint  Meeting with your advisor

2. Preparing Your Speech Note Cards  Collect 15 index cards from the front  Put a number on EACH card so that if they drop, they are in the correct order  As the hole punchers are passed around, place a hole in the upper left of each card so that they can be tied together. Make sure NOT to write in this area!  Only write in PEN or fine point Sharpie; pencil will wear off during practice.

3. Hints for Your Speech Note Cards  Add pictures as reminders  Examples:  To remind you to Smile:  To remind you to Make Eye Contact:  To remind you to Switch PowerPoint:  Don’t write it out because you might accidentally SAY IT!

4. Requirements for Speech Note Cards  Must have one per slide in your PowerPoint minimum  Cannot be in complete sentences  Has to be worked on in class (if you want bigger cards, you can do those at home, writing it more than once will not hurt you, it will actually help you!)  If you finish, PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE!
