Public Speaking

Two days ago, I went to a public speaking camp at Dilworth Elementary. It started at 10:00 and ended at 1:00. The instructor's name was Carl Shan. During one of his lessons, he made us say funny things to improve our self-control. Not only did we have to say the sentence, but we also couldn’t laugh and smile. We had to wear an expression we were assigned. One boy had to say romantically, “ Will you marry me?” After we had a break, he told us about two different kinds of mindsets, the growth mindset and the fixed mindset. The fixed mindset does not improve as quickly as the growth mindset. After that, we listened about a guy who has a growth mindset that made a steel company really big. Then, we listened to a story about a researcher who tested children’s impulses with marshmallows. Lastly, we listened to a tennis prodigy who stopped playing because he lost a game in the world tournament. In the end, we went home. I also learned a couple of people’s names. If I had to rate the camp from a scale of one to ten, it would be a nine. The missing point is because we don't have too much chances to speak. This is Public Speaking camp, it's meant for people to be better speakers and practice makes perfect. What would you rate this summer camp on a scale of one to ten?
