Parent briefing · 5 minutes, before they sit
Jobs, orals, borders. Contempt for the earpiece fantasy.
Hard edges
- Interpreting: human.
- Don't humiliate.
If they say
- “In the real world we have phones.”
- Until you don't, or it's wrong. Own a core.
Objective
The student identifies one utterance they can do closed-book and one they cannot — and does not fake the second.
The earpiece fails
Ghost-speakers fail at the border, the interview, and the dinner. Own a core you can say with the network down. Tools around it, not instead of it.
Big idea
Closed-book speech is the core. Earpiece fluency is a costume.
Try this~18 min total
Core vs costume
18 min- List five things you can say closed-book.
- List two you only have with a chat open.
- Practice one from the second list, one-take, then check.
- Do not submit the chat version as speech.
Lesson guide
Ask after you try
After the closed-book list.
- Drill one hole. Don't replace the list with a generated speech.
- Honest split?
- One-take on a hole?
