Your first Toastmasters meeting - Part 3
Part 3 in our orientation to a Toastmasters meeting is the evaluation of speeches.
Members are assigned to observe and offer feedback on the impromptu (Table Topics) and prepared speeches. Evaluation helps everyone develop their skills - the speakers, evaluators, other members and guests.
The "traditional" model for evaluating a Toastmasters speech is "CRC" - offer a "Commendation" (positive comment), a "Recommendation" (suggestion for improvement), then another commendation. Our new Pathways Learning Experience offers a revised model - mention something the speaker excelled at, something they may want to work on and offer them a challenge for future projects.
We can be learners and teachers - it's at the heart of the Toastmasters experience.
An early Christmas miracle at Zealandia!

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
