Jane's comments on technique:
(transcription)

Jane Krauss (JK): I can see how much practice kids need in just delivery, where they get up and they have good eye contact and they're not working from their notes anymore because they're so practiced and...and, um, using a strong, controlled voice and...and...and just being more in control of themselves when they're up there and getting the speech to do what they want it to do.

Some of those kids who are totally locked onto the card and they can't leave the card for anything, um, they did a better job just with me forcing them to memorize it. And they'd write as much as they could on a little tiny card and then read every little word and then be frustrated because they'd lose their place. And it was like, you know, this card isn't really used for this purpose. And I'd rather that they didn't memorize it just word for word. Really, I like that idea of...of having such a strong sense of your organization and your information that you can go from point to point in a more, ...more conversational way.
