Jane's comments on persuasive presentation:
(transcription)

Jane Krauss (JK): There were some kids who really had a good idea of what their, um...where they're going. They had the organization very clear in their mind and so they were able to go from point to point but extemporize along the way. And some kids, particularly, were able to really talk to their audience, which was Mr. Schmauzzel. It was almost as if they, ah... It was much less like a speech and much more like just a persuasive sell job.

Boy 1: I know that seems like a lot, but it's well worth it. This is a once-in-a-lifetime trip.

(JK): I think next time I do this I'd work more on persuasive language and how to...to be emphatic and how to use your body in a way...to...to convey the message that you want.

Mr. Schmauzzel: I'm impressed with the kind of research you guys did, impressed with the eye contact you had with the audience -- me, and how composed you were!
