Alicia Keys, "A Revelation"
You are allowed to be smart
You are allowed to be beautiful
You are allowed to be radical and have strong thoughts that others might not agree with
You are allowed to be tough
You are allowed to be sexy
You are allowed to be bold
You are allowed to be shapely
You are allowed to be kind
You are allowed to be yourself!!
As Mt. Sakurajima shows new signs of volcanic life, I contemplate what I will do with the remainder of this summer break. In the meantime, I've been gearing up for a very busy few months starting in September and its accompanying English speech contest season. My junior high school has four students interested in participating, two 3rd Year students and two 2nd Year students. Each one of them has to represent us in four DIFFERENT contests, meaning I had to work out a fair way to coach and support all of them. Here's what I came up with:
Each student will have 10 days of practice with me, meaning a full schedule of memorizing, staging and presenting speeches. I really want to give them the best of my training in such a short time. I want each of them to have an educational, eye-opening experience in these contests, so that they can begin to understand how English is used in a real-world setting. I don't know if it will be enough time, but I had to manage quantity of days with quality of practice. Hopefully, this schedule will do the trick.
