EXPECTATIONThe expectation is that all students, once they have their speeches approved, are memorizing independently. While we will give you tips and tricks to help you along, much of that process happens at home. Always be working on your speeches! Have it be the last thing you read before bed and the first thing you read in the morning. Read it on the toilet and in front of the mirror. Memorization is something we can't do for you, so start early and get it done so we can work on making it higher level!
