E. Abstraction

Toasts are formal expressions of goodwill, appreciation, or calls for group

attention to an issue or person in a public setting, often followed by synchronous
consumption of beverages.

Examples:
• a toast at a wedding congratulating the couple.
• toasts at a bar after a tournament win to congratulate the team or an
individual player.
• a general toast to health for everyone on a holiday or other special
occasion.

Proposing a Toast

One proposes a toast, rather than “making” a toast or simply “toasting,” because
for it to truly be a toast, everyone in the group, team, or community must

participate. Sometimes the person who is supposed to make that proposition is already
known by function or role.

Standing with proper posture to address the group is normally associated with

acts of public speaking, including toasts.

As you rise and raise your glass, the room will grow quiet in anticipation of your

words. If the group does not expect you to propose a toast, you may need to say, “May I

propose a toast?” in a voice above the level of the group.

 Nonverbal displays also work to capture attention,McLean, S. (2005). The basics

chair. Striking a glass with spoon to produce a ring, while common, is sometimes

considered less than educated and a poor reflection of etiquette. The group norms

determine what is expected and accepted, and it may be a custom that is considered

normal.

Etiquette is a conventional social custom or rule for behavior, but social customs

and rules for behavior vary across communities and cultures.

• You will raise your glass, raise your voice, and make a brief statement
complimenting the person being honored.
• Your toast should be brief, positive, and focused on the honorees, not on

yourself (if you write it out in advance, use thirty words as your upper

limit).
• People then raise their glasses to indicate agreement, often repeating

“hear, hear!” or a word or phrase from the toast, such as “to success!”

• Alcohol is not a requirement for a toast, nor is draining one’s glass. Often

alternatives, such as nonalcoholic sparkling cider, are served.

• If you are expected to perform a toast, one that requires tact, grace, and a
clear presence of mind, you should refrain from drinking alcohol until after

you’ve completed your obligation.

Roasts are public proclamations that ridicule or criticize someone to honor them.
That may sound awkward at first but consider the targets most associated with roasts:

those in positions of power or prestige. Knocking someone off their pedestal is a special

delight for the group or community, but it requires special care and attention to social

dynamics, sensitivities, rank, and roles.

 A common context for a round of roasts, or a series or public statements

intended to poke fun at someone, is at a retirement party.

• A roast is not an opportunity to say something mean. If you don’t think the

target will laugh it off, don’t say it.

• A roast honors someone in a position of power or influence by allowing

them to demonstrate they can take a joke at their own expense gracefully.

• Ritual public speaking is supposed to unify groups, teams, and

communities, and not create division or rival internal groups.

Eulogy means that you are sharing a remembrance speech with the purpose of
paying tribute to a loved one. This speech is given at the funeral or memorial service by

a family member or close friend.

A good eulogy highlights the lasting impact of the person on their family and

community. Through your speech, you’ll have an opportunity to share their unique
qualities, as well as the ripple effect of positivity and change they created in the world

around them.

• Tell happy stories

• Keep it to a reasonable length

• Have someone look it over for you

• Keep the audience in mind when writing

• Practice reading it aloud

• Start with the lighter stuff

• Speak slowly

• Make eye contact

• Wear something appropriate for the occasion

• End with a fond memory and positive outlook

 F. Application

The class will be divided into two and on the right corner students, they will be given 15

minutes to create their own roast. On the left corner students, they will be given the

same 15 minutes to create their own toast. When the time ends, they will perform their

own output in front of the class.

IV. Evaluation

The teacher will allot a thirty-minute time for the students to write their own
eulogy, may it be personal or just for creativity. As they finish their task, individually, they

will perform their own piece in front of the class observing the proper way of delivering a

eulogy speech. Additionally, they will be scored by the following rubric;
