6. The Evaluations The final Session for the evening covers a diverse range of Evaluations that encourage Members to be attentive as well as re-affirm the guidelines that assist the meeting to run smoothly and on time in order to maximise the learning benefits for all Members. ZOOM:
7.The Reports ZOOM: In the interests of time and given the more frequent meetings the Agenda will vary from week to week with some Reports only being fortnightly in rotation. Umm and Ahs Counter: An evaluator uses varying criteria to remind us all of how we ‘punctuate‘ our speeches with ‘filler words’. ZOOM: Avoid giving a full report of every Member. Just keep it to best performers or assist those who need to be more attentive to their filler word usage. Grammarian: Highlights both good and not so good examples of Grammar used during the meeting as well congratulating speakers who incorporate the Word of the Day. ZOOM:
Big Ears: Members are rewarded for their powers of recollection and attentiveness in a brief session where we are reminded of words or phrases that were used throughout the evenings meeting. ZOOM:BIG EARS – REPLACED BY KAHOOT.
Timer’s Report: Being time critical permits the meeting to flow smoothly and on time, but being able to succinctly present your Prepared or Impromptu Speeches on time contributes to better planning and management of your thoughts. ZOOM:
General Evaluator: An experienced member of the Club provides a wrap up of the entire evening’s proceedings in order to provide feedback to the earlier Evaluators and facilitators of the meeting. ZOOM:
