Editor's Notes
Organization – like an airplane flight Know your time limits Difficult to cut information out to make time limits Beginning enticing, temping, alluring, inviting and make the listener want to stay Body meat. Use facts, examples, stories. Creative words, Conclusion
Choose your words Was the sky beautiful? Or was it stunning? Picturesque? Exquisite? Was the child sad? Or was he miserable? Forlorn? Distressed? Keep your thesaurus handy! Don’t overuse Onomatopoeia is the formation of a word from a sound associated with what is named (e.g., cuckoo, sizzle). Buzz, bang, boom, zip, crunch, crack, bum, ding Metaphors and similies: metaphors -- comparisons of two things that don't use "like" or "as" -- it definitely helps to have examples. "He was eager to help but his legs were rubber . . . " “'The goalkeeper was a an immovable rock keeping his opponents from scoring” Similes: A figure of speech in which two fundamentally unlike things are explicitly compared, usually in a phrase introduced by like or as. “As cold as ice”, "Life is like an onion: You peel it off one layer at a time, and sometimes you weep." (Carl Sandburg)Alliteration occurs when a series of words in a row (or close to a row) have the same first consonant sound. For example, tongue twisters, “Social media allows you to have a superficial yet sufficiently satisfying relationship with people who aren’t your close friends”Grammer! Diction!
