Being a Stronger Ah Counter / Grammarian

Ah-Counter / Grammarian

This roles works on your listening skills.  Your assistance is greatly appreciated because as a grammarian, you notice habits, nervous ticks, and incorrect phrasing that the speaker is unconsciously unaware of.  Your duty is to observe and make members more aware of these unconsious habits.

In a Nutshell:

• Provide Word of the Day –  use a vocabulary word, and provide the audience with its definition and an example of it used in a sentence.  Write the word on the board for all to see.  While giving your report at the end of the meeting, tell the audience who used the word in their speech / evaluations.
• When listening to speeches and evaluations, listen for: Fragmented sentence structues, ‘uhhs’ and ‘ahhs’, cliches, pronounciation, and the use of language.
• As the Ah-Counter, keep track of the ‘uhhs’ and ‘ahhs’ for each speaker.  Report these at the end.
