Lizzy

Thomas

Lizzy Thomas aspires to be a practicing physician and an academic bioethicist. In addition to questions about the ethics of stem cell research and medicine, however, she is passionate about the power and importance of mentorship. This is a value that has been grown by her undergraduate educational experience at Harvard University, and her graduate one at Oxford University. At Harvard, she majored in stem cell biology and minored in moral and political philosophy, and was lucky to have exceptional mentors in both academic disciplines. At Oxford, she is currently studying practical ethics, and is gratified to be under the supportive tutelage of some world-leading thinkers in that area as she does research at the Oxford Uehiro Centre for Practical Ethics.

At Harvard, Lizzy was deeply involved in freshman advising, serving as a Peer Advising Fellow her final three years of college and as one of the student leaders of that program during the last half of college. She helped redesign the freshman orientation program as the student member on an administrative committee her junior year. She gained more mentoring experience as a citizenship tutor through the Institute of Politics, working with a Harvard janitor for two years as he prepared for his citizenship test. He became an American citizen in January, 2016.

At Oxford, Lizzy is trying to figure out the strength of her interest in practical bioethics - namely whether it is an area she would like to work in professionally as an educator and medical doctor. Part of the draw toward that path is a desire to make seemingly complicated issues accessible to students. In the meantime, Lizzy is thrilled to get to work with the students of AEBS Academy, and hopes to empower and excite them in whatever their interests are.

演說實踐

Introduction to public speaking

Class 1 will provide an introduction to the discipline of public speaking. What is public speaking, and why should we practice it? Why is it an important skill to have as you enter university and, eventually, move into the workforce? Students will play games and do warm-up activities that will familiarize them with the practice of giving speeches and making arguments, then watch and analyze famous speeches to understand why they are effective.

Body language

Class 2 will focus on body language and using movement, eye contact, and facial expressions in order to deliver an effective speech. Students will be up and moving around the classroom, practicing good body language and poor body language, and demonstrating ways that animated facial expressions can be used to convey different emotions.

Knowing your audience

Who you are speaking to is as important as what you are saying. Class 3 will help students to understand their audience’s backgrounds, emotions, and desires so that they can tailor their speeches to suit their listeners. Students will practice delivering impromptu speeches to different “types” of audiences, including older listeners, younger listeners, listeners who agree with them, and listeners who disagree.

Speech content

Now that we have discussed techniques for presenting yourself effectively when giving a speech, Class 4 will focus on the content of the speech itself. We will discuss the different purposes a speech can serve (to persuade, to inform, to entertain, or to describe), the importance of choosing interesting content, and how to organize and present this content in an engaging way. This class will guide students through the process of brainstorming an issue that is important to them and beginning to write their own two-minute speeches.

Speech presentation

Students will have the beginning of Class 5 to finish writing and revising their speeches with the help of the course instructors as well as our NTU teaching assistants. During the second half of class, we will watch each student’s two-minute presentation, give feedback, and award them with a certificate for completing the course.

Introduction to leadership

Class 1 will introduce the idea of leadership and challenge students to begin thinking about the qualities an effective leader should have. We will highlight the importance of leadership in all aspects of life, including small-scale leadership in schools and communities all the way up to leadership on a global scale. Students will talk about leaders they admire and why, and do various ice-breaking games and activities that will allow them to begin honing the positive qualities of a leader.

Goal-setting and using resources

Class 2 will focus on the first two important skills that a leader or change-maker must master: setting goals, and using resources effectively. Students will begin by learning how to take larger goals and dreams and turn them into smaller, step-by-step goals that will make them easier to achieve. Next, students will learn how to make full use of the resources they have available to them as a leader, such as funding, materials, or human capital. Class 2 will finish with a scenario in which small groups of students are given a set of resources and must create a plan to improve their schools or communities with them, clearly outlining their goals along the way.

Problem-solving and negotiation

Class 3 will teach two more important skills required of effective leaders: problem-solving and negotiation. Students will practice taking a problem and breaking it down into its effects, recognizing the actions that can be taken to solve this problem. Next, students will learn techniques for negotiating with the people they work with, learning how to reach compromises when their interests differ. This class will include interactive role-play activities that will allow students to simulate negotiation and problem-solving in different settings, such as in the classroom or in the workplace.

Social innovation

In Class 4, students will be challenged to display their newfound leadership skills in a simulated setting. Students will take on the role of United Nations delegates tasked with creating a project proposal to tackle a certain social problem facing the globe. Working in small groups, students will research the problem they have been assigned and begin creating a poster that outlines their proposed solution.

United nations summit

It’s time for our United Nations summit! Students will spend the beginning of class 5 fine-tuning their social innovation proposals. The rest of class will be spent hearing each group’s presentation, discussing them, and awarding students with certificates for completing the course.

Introduction to Debate

Class 1 will provide an introduction to the craft of debate, the different styles that exist, and the holistic structure. Students will be given insight into the how to construct a case through research, how to effectively deliver, and how to summarize. They will analyze through national champions of debate and understand why they are effective. 

Brainstorming and Case-Building

Students will brainstorm as a large group what issue they want to focus on and delve into, as the camp will culminate in a debate tournament on this issue. They will begin researching for both sides of the topic, since during a debate, you can get either side. They will be assigned to partners and be given time and resources to research and learn the elements that build strong arguments. 

Refutation and Summary

Class 3 will be focused on refutation and counterpoints, where students will engage in exercises that allow them to work on quick thinking of counterpoints. This day will be focused on how to get to the core of an argument, as well as be a smarter debater, by predicting the arguments of the other side. This class will also focused on how to effectively summarize an argument, in order to make it clear and concise to the listeners and judges.

Delivery and Preparation

During class 4, students will be preparing for the mock tournament that will occur in the last class. We will first be doing exercises in strong and effective delivery, and students will continue to refine their cases in preparation of the final class. Students will be given individualized attention on delivery and clear communication, and work on persuasiveness and charisma.

Mock Tournament Day

The final class will be the culmination of what students have learned in debate camp through a mock debate tournament! Students will be paired to debate with one another with a judge who will help give them feedback, and we will do process of elimination, given the time constraints. The last part of the class will be spent reflecting on takeaways and individual improvements for the future. We will award students certificates for completing the program, as well as awards for the winning teams in the tournament!

Final pitch

Last but not least, all students will be giving a pitch about their idea and try to raise money from professional early stage investors. We will give out awards to those who exceed throughout this course.

Determination

In class 1, we will talk about how to overcome obstacles to reach your goals. By playing games and going through discussions, our students will learn how to set the right goals, face challenges and keep going.

Forgiveness

Forgiveness is not easy, and sometimes it is a long process to work through the situation, rebuild trust, and restore a relationship. The attitude of forgiveness clears your mind so you can work through the process and make the most of the future.

Responsibility

Class 3 will focus on how to take ownership of your thoughts , words and actions. We will discuss why is it hard to take responsibility when things don't go well and how to stop making excuses. 

Respect

During class 4, students will be sharing ideas on how they would like to be treated to understand how they should treat others. One should not only respect others with honor and dignity, but also respect himself/herself the same way. 

Loyalty

In this class, we will have scenarios for students to learn how to show commitment to doing what is honorable and right through difficult times. As a loyal friend, one not only has to make the right decisions himself/herself, but also encourage others in the right direction.

Honesty

Being honest means not only stating correct fact, but also playing by the rules, not exaggerating facts and admitting mistakes without hiding anything. This class will assist students to learn honesty and how to build trust with one another.

Compassion

Compassion begins with sympathy, which is seeing someone's pain. Compassion also includes empathy, which is feeling someone's pain. It is not enough to see needs and feel badly for those who are hurting. Compassion means getting involved, investing in others, and finding ways to bear someone's burden in order for healing to occur.

Courage

Often people don't have the courage to find out the truth, ask for help when you need it, and be willing to stand alone. These scenarios often let people shrink back due to fear. In this class, students will practice how to overcome fear to do what is right.
