⚡ ENERGY
Your energy sets the tone for the entire assembly.
• Be louder than normal classroom voice
• Use big facial reactions + movement
• Increase energy before every reveal
• Never match a “low energy room” — lead it up
🎤 DELIVERY
How you say it matters more than what you say.
• Pause after every key question
• Slow down during the goal moment
• Use call-and-response often
• Don’t rush transitions (video = reset moment)
🧠 RECOVERY
If something feels off, you can always reset the room.
• Stop talking → pause → regain attention
• Restart energy with a big voice change
• Rebuild engagement with a simple question
• Bring staff/principal into action early
❌ STUDENTS NOT ENGAGED
• Stop talking immediately
• Hold silence (don’t rush)
• Restart with a louder call-and-response
• Re-establish control before continuing
🔇 ENERGY FEELS LOW
• Slow your pace instantly
• Drop voice → then rebuild volume
• Use exaggerated reactions
• Ask a simple “yes/no” question to reset
🎬 VIDEO MOMENT DIDN’T LAND
• Pause after video ends (don’t rush)
• Acknowledge it briefly (“that was awesome”)
• Re-engage audience before moving on
• Transition with energy, not explanation
🧍 STAFF / PRINCIPAL NOT ENGAGED
• Give them a role early (don’t wait)
• Use them in prize moments or Q&A
• Make them part of the energy flow
• Visibility increases participation
