2024.44 Create Your Own Activities

microphoneEven though I'm traveling this week, I recorded a podcast for you (and to show you I make a little progress every week on my book writing.) My podcast this week is from the Effective Public Speaking book.

Enjoy!

The Podcast:

The Transcript:

I’m Johanna Rothman, and this is Johanna’s 60 Seconds of Writing WIP for November 15, 2024, where I read an excerpt of just a minute of some writing in progress.

This is from the Effective Public Speaking book.

Create Your Own Activities

I showed you two of my simulations so you can see that simulations can be relatively short and still create substantial learning opportunities. However, I encourage you to create your own simulations. Consider these principles for your activities and simulations:

  1. Choose one problem your expertise solves. If you're marketing a book, choose a chapter. If you're marketing a longer workshop, choose one problem your workshop solves.
  2. Given that problem, how do you want to highlight the implications of that problem? (See the section write-description) for more detail.)
  3. Think of three ways you can create an interaction. What would you need for solo, pair, or triad work? Do you want to offer practice or a simulation of the work?

Regardless of the activities you create, make sure you debrief so everyone can learn from the activity or simulation.

And here's the link to the video.
