Find a quiet place and take a moment to rehearse the introduction and conclusion of a speech on the use of technology in the classroom (or a topic of your choosing). You may want to have friends or family observe you and, if possible, videotape your rehearsal to evaluate yourself later. What exactly, did you do to rehearse? In what ways was this process helpful to you? Would you feel confident about delivering this introduction/conclusion in front of a group? Explain.

I got a 100% on edge.

Explanation:

I researched crowdfunding. Crowdfunding refers to the method of raising money by using small amounts of investment by a large number of people to fund or support a business idea. It uses the power of social media and crowdfunding platforms to bring together a large number of people interested in the common idea to increase business by widening the pool of investors beyond the conventional circle of friends, families, relatives, and private investors. This process was helpful because if I had to present this to a big group of people I would feel a lot more comfortable with my audience and delivering the message. I was able to see what I did right and what I did wrong and get feedback from my family.  

historically speaking, military dictators usually come into power

as the result of a military coup d'etat that was successful against  

whatever form of government existed before.  

sometimes the military dictator was put in place by winning a civil war.  

    occasionally military dictators conduct phony 'elections'  

in order to claim that they were elected by the people.

but there are never any serious candidates running against the dictator.

when a dictator becomes too old for governing his country,

he usually tries to arrange for one of his sons to take over power  

after he is dead and gone.  

when that is not possible, some secret decisions within the military

results in the next dictator taking power

—whether by means of an 'election' or another coup d'etat.  

    countries with little experience of other forms of government

often assume that a military strongman is their natural leader.  

military dictators want to stay in power for as long as possible.  

often the only way they leave office is feet first,

that is, they must die or be killed while still in power  

before the next form of government will take over.
