T.V., speech classes learn to perform T.V. and speech have two things in common: Both classes were taught by Miss Melanie Coats and both classes in- volved performing, whether speaking in front of classmates or taping in the audio-visual room. T.V. wasn ' t just lights, camera, action. First of all students learned to use the equip- ment, then performed their skits . They creat- ed commercials, game shows and situation comedies . First goal in speech was getting enough self- confidence to do a good job, then combining the right tone of voice with hand gestures. Their first speeches were 1 1 2 to 3 minutes in length. Final speeches were a seven-minute talk on any topic from whales to UFO ' s. 4. Curtis Delagrange , sophomore, looks over his T.V. project. 5.
