7. Not a student speaker!!!
Dr. Phil
What can I say about Dr. Phil…
The man knows his speeches,
he loves his students, he adores
his family and clean jokes, and
he was a great instructor.
E &P
11. Alex
Blew us all away when we
found out that he was a high
school student, and he never
used that as an excuse not to
do his work.
Always wears his hat…
15. Inna
Quiet and sweet, but never let
that stop her from standing tall
and looking the class in the eye
while speaking.
16. Patrick
Although often nervous, he
always stood up straight and
looked people in the eye as he
spoke. He also spoke very
passionately with any historical
topic. And did his best to warn
people when they weren’t
making their time limit.
17. Emily
Never had a sour face in the
class. ALWAYS had a smile on her
face and always kept a positive
attitude. Whenever there was a
speed bump, she went right over
it and accelerated through.
18. Chuck
Always spoke very well, very
well studied on every speech
he gave. Very friendly and
positive when asked how other
student speakers did.
21. Jake
Possibly the shyest student
when we started this course,
but now he’s one of the most
entertaining speakers.
22. Kyle
Gave a lot of speeches unlike any
other, and blew a lot of us away
when giving his demonstration
speech…
Then again, he brought his amazing
dog.
…There appear to be no pictures of
Kyle.
23. Chris
Always added a lot of
personality to his speeches. I
also believe that he was the
first student to use a video
during his speeches, which
started a trend.
33. Marble
Dropping
One of the most distracting
and irritating sounds I’ve ever
heard, but it made me afraid
to say “Ummm” and other
fillers.
34. Time Keeping
The timekeeping device was
bipolar: It was either your best
friend or your worst enemy…
Some of us watched that
device more intently than we
watch the Super Bowl.
35. Bell Ringing
This wasn’t too stressful to have
for most students. But for me I
just kept thinking, “Oh my
gosh, are they going to know
what my topics are? What if I’m
not clear enough?” etc.
36. Video-Taping
Video-taping was actually pretty
fun for the ones doing it, but not
so fun for the people speaking in
front of the camera. It’s even
worse when you watch the tape
of yourself speaking…
37. Being late by 4
minutes…
I’ve never hated clapping so
much in my LIFE!
Which is why when Dr. Phil
came to a student council
admin meeting we all clapped
when he walked through the
door…felt amazing!
39. SPEAKING IN
GENERAL!!
Speaking is one of the most
shared fears across the United
states. Most people would rather
do math homework for 4 hours
than give a five-minute speech.
Although Allyssa doesn’t look
stressed at all…
44. 1. What’s the best way to
start a speech?
A. Your name; people need to know who
you are
B. Your topic; people need to know what
you’re talking about
C. Something attention-grabbing, like a
quote
D. “Ummm”
45. Answer:
C!
You want to start every speech with
something that will grab the audience’s
attention. Most people don’t find speeches
entertaining, so surprise them. Add a bit of
flare and personality to your speech. Start
with a joke or quote to make your speech
memorable.

46. 2. What do you have to do
before entering Dr. Phil’s
office?
A. Bring him a Starbucks
B. Tell a clean joke to get his attention
C. Start singing, he loves singing
D. Take off your shoes
47. Answer:
D!
Dr. Phil wants everyone to take their shoes
off before they enter his office. I’m not
exactly sure why… but TAKE OFF YOUR
SHOES!!!
48. 3. What is the best number
of main points to have in a
speech?
A. Two
B. Three
C. However many I dang well want!
D. Five
49. Answer:
B!
Dr. Phil taught us early on in the course
that a good speech should usually have
three main points. It’s just enough to give
people an adequate amount of
information, but not too much to be
grueling.
50. 4.What do you need to
repeat in your conclusion?
A. Your three main points
B. Your three main points, your name, and
your topic
C. You don’t repeat anything; you wouldn’t
want people thinking you’re stuttering
D. Say “Thank you!” You don’t want people
thinking you’re rude
51. Answer:
B!
At the end of your speech you want to
repeat your three main points, your name,
and your topic. It’s a great way of
reiterating what you’ve gone over, so it’s
fresh on everyone’s minds.
52. 5. What should you always
provide while speaking?
A. An example
B. Your Social Security number
C. Your life story
D. Why you took the course
53. Answer:
A!
Always,always give an example. It’s a
great way of breaking down what you’re
saying, adding a personal
touch/personality, and taking up some
time.
54. Thanks!
We’llleave you with Dr. Phil’s favorite
saying, “The good is the enemy of the
better.”
