How to WAG the RDG Way

2.1. Before the Meeting

Assuming the Toastmaster chooses a theme, you'll want to choose a word of the day that goes with the theme. For example, if the theme of the day is "Spies and PIs", you may want to consider "espionage", "subterfuge", "surveillance", or "covert".

Make sure you have something to record each speaker. You can find sample worksheets in the WAG resources folder.

If your language skills aren't what you'd like them to be, find a few things (no more than 3) you'd like to focus on noticing, such as metaphors, similes, onomatopoeia, and so on. Change them up every time you're WAG.

Update the WotD PowerPoint to include your word and its definition and print it out. You will want to put the word of the day somewhere the speaker can readily see it, as well as somewhere the audience can see it. Your club may also want you to put your word of the day into Easy Speak ahead of time.
