Editor's Notes
- I made this PowerPoint for an activity about elevator speeches for the foster youth that I work with. I work with transitional age youth ages 18-21 who engage in life skills workshops at the foster youth group home where they live. The youth are either working already, looking for work, or are in school and not working; some of the youth are still working on their goals of either starting school or obtaining a job. When facilitating an activity, my goal is to not be the only one talking and I strive to have a prompt to get the youth engaged right away. With this slide, before moving onto the next slide, I asked the youth if any of them had a guess as to what an elevator speech is. This technique immediately gets the conversation started and further sparks their interest.
- Using media is a great way to keep the youth engaged and interested in the presentation. It is important to keep the presentation as engaging as possible to keep the foster youth engaged with the facilitator and each other. The Snagajob video was perfect because several of the youth already know about Snagajob and have the app on their cell-phones. The Snagajob video was informative yet light and funny. The finale of the video gave further information about job hunting and closed out with bloopers.
- Foster youth reflect on the video and talk about the video through ORID. The ORID (Objective, Reflective, Interpretive, Decisional) method is a form of a structured conversation led by a facilitator. (pacific-edge.info). Link: https://pacific-edge.info/2010/08/orid/
- After the presentation, the foster youth practiced writing elevator speeches and practicing them for one another. This keeps them engaged with one another, promotes public speaking, helps with learning, and creates a dynamic of peer to peer mentorship.
