Can someone please answer this properly, 100 points

In the first lesson of this chapter, you wrote a journal entry pretending you were a lawyer defending Zachariah. For this project, you’re going to present that journal entry as if it were an opening statement in a trial and video record it.

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.



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.

Answer:

I used to be really frightened of being on stage in front a whole school but that was my old fear and now I know to face my fear. Public speaking is like any skill. The more you do it, the better you get at it. I had to learn about the book "The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle" and now I have to start reading "Grief Along The Reef". If you didn't know Zachariah is the Seahawks cook, surgeon, and only black man. Originally from Africa, he is around 50 years old (the oldest on the ship), cannot read, and knows very little about Christianity. He does like the story of Jonah, though, he's also, as it turns out, Charlotte's closest ally on the Sea hawk.
