Answer:
Public speaking is like any skill. The more you do it, the better you get at it. Here is the only advice you need: Make eye contact with your listeners. Even if you’re nervous, nobody will know. If your audience sees you looking at them, they’ll look back and connect with you.
Start by reviewing your journal entry to make sure you have used specific details from the text to support your defense. Make sure you have at least two or three details.
Then, record a video of yourself pretending to be Zachariah’s lawyer. Pretend your revised journal entry is your "opening statement" in the trial and you are speaking to the jury and the judge.
Use any video recording device available to you. A cell phone or a webcam is perfect. Be sure to speak clearly and maintain appropriate eye contact. You might even practice with a friend, a parent, or in front of a mirror first.
If you don’t have the equipment and can’t record and upload a video, give the speech to a friend, a parent, or just a mirror. When you’re done, write a reflection in your journal about your experience. Consider what you did well and what you might do differently next time. The reflection should be about 150 words.
In
the book there is a part where Odysseus makes it back to his homeland
where he meets with the goddess Athene. She herself was disguised as
a young shepherd to approach him and then reveals to him her true
identity. She then disguises Odysseus to take back his home.
Athena
tells Odysseus she will disguise him as a beggar, because she is the
master of disguises and no one likes to look too closely at beggars
anyway.
<span>“Athena
transforms him into an old man as a disguise. Clad in a filthy tunic,
he goes off to find his faithful swineherd, as instructed by the
goddess.”</span>
