Public Speaking Worksheet: Anchoring Script

Public speaking lesson 23: Anchoring a school event · Set 37 · 40 questions

Speaker's tip (Guide the show): Running order: opening → performances → closing (prizes, vote of thanks, National Anthem last). Anchoring lines: introduce an item (“Next, Class 4 presents…”), thank performers (“Let’s give them a big round of applause”), invite a guest (“May I request our chief guest…”), close (“Please stand for the National Anthem”). Get the running order beforehand, check every name, and calmly fill any gap.
