Brethren:
I have been asked to give the explanatory lecture for an upcoming EA degree. This will be my first.
I feel that I know the lecture very well, as I have gone through it time and time again on my daily commute (up to two hours-a-day in traffic). In addition, I have practiced this within the lodge room to "visualize" the delivery. I have traveled to a number of different lodges, and have seen the lectures delivered on numerous occasions -- each have varied upon the "engagement" spectrum.
Do any brethren have any pointers for the delivery? I tend to use my hands when I speak, is this frowned upon? Is it delivered in more of a "lecture style forum"? Ultimately, I would like for the delivery of lecture to be engaging, sincere, and impactful for the newly initiated brother.
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you, brethren.
