Reminder about final speeches

Make sure to provide a background or context if the material is unfamiliar to common audiences.

For instance, if you are creating a television show based on a show that aired in 1950, make sure to show clips to familiarize the audience.

Also, if you do not feel you will have enough content to fill the 20 min..


1. Use clips to fill time
2. The time goes faster than you think!!
