    • @steam_jane5580
      @steam_jane5580 3 роки тому +11

      Don't worry lots of people are probably feeling nervous as well. If you feel it would help you could try speaking in front of a mirror or about your favourite topic to others. Don't fear silences and remember others are all in the same position. In the end you will need to take a deep breath and speak if your are called on to speak, probably not for that long tho unless this was part of your enrolment assignment. Don't worry icereakers are for people to get to know you, not judge you on the subject you are taking. But if you. Really don't want to and you know your school does them, talk to your teacher or someone else you trust about it
      I don't know if this would work for you, but good luck I'm sure it will be okay. and goodluck with all your future endeavours.
      Edit: I guess I'm the end they can't force you to speak, I hope this helps and if anyone below wants to correct me or add to me feel free to.

      I Hope it wen't well. They are great fun and help with teamwork if you have projects to do together like in Business Studies where you may have to form a mini company. The Teachers can also see how Students react, who is dominant, who is quiet and how confident they have become by the time they leave School.

      It is not for skiving or doing what you want, it is to help you develop independent learning for when you go to Uni and how you manage your time and make best use of research skills. Some schools like mine may have you helping in the lower school with Students who need help, all of which will help with Ucas forms so use the time wisely . Yes enjoy the free periods but be aware of the potential that you gain from using them wisely and show the Teachers that you can be trusted to do this.

They did pepper our free Periods through the day so we couldn't go home, to be honest i couldn't be bothered to go home when we discovered the Coffee Machine did good hot chocolate!!. There was a little row of shops near the school that we could go to that had a co-op and a newsagent so we went there for a walk as much as anything.
