Assemblies
Here are a few things to try and remember when you are doing an assembly:
Don’t panic
Take a deep breath before you begin
Speak slowly and clearly
Look up occasionally at your audience
Ask your friends to help you
And finally…
Practise first before the assembly
See the sidebar for some ideas for subjects you can talk about in assemblies.
