FOR TODAY: YOUR FIRST PRESENTATION

1. My Friend’s Fictional Life
   • In this activity, what you do is you get up in front of people (you can do it home by yourself as well) and you take one of your friends and you introduce them. However, instead of introducing them in the normal way you make up a fictional life for them. So you say, hi this is Jane Smith, and she actually moonlights as a jazz pianist for the underground mafia. And you talk about her life, whatever it may be.

FAKE IT TILL YOU MAKE IT
