This document provides instructions for a speaking presentation assignment. Students are asked to:
1) Discuss their own talents and what they enjoy doing without obligation.
2) Read a statement in groups about how people are good at things they enjoy because they get more practice, agreeing or disagreeing with interruptions.
3) Watch a video clip from "Friends" where Joey discusses his acting talent and answer questions about it, paying attention to discourse elements like hesitations and interruptions.
4) Then have a similar conversation in groups, choosing an image to present a talent and convince others of their skill.
