Sample assignment:
Pastor Phil’s choir plug.
I recently spoke with Bob about joining the choir. If I were to turn it into a formal speech, I would have to 1) prepare my remarks in advance since my improvised comments would not work in a large group. 2) I would have to think about how a room full of people would read my body language.
