The Role of GRAMMARIAN
Prior to the meeting:
• Confirm assignment with the Toastmaster and create an introduction for yourself.
• Select a “Word of the Day” - this helps members increase their vocabulary - select a word that can easily be used in everyday conversation.
• Print the word, its part of speech, and a brief definition, in letters large enough to be seen from the back of the room or make a few copies to be displayed around the room.
• Prepare a sentence showing how the word is used.
• Be prepared to explain the duties of the grammarian.
Upon arrival at the meeting:
• Display your “Word of the Day” at the front of the room or around the room as appropriate.
During the meeting:
• Listen carefully to word usage.
• Write down any awkward use or misuse of the language, including sentences that are incomplete or change direction in midstream, and the names of the persons who erred (excluding non-Toastmaster guests).
• Write down any creative use of English or descriptive language that enhances a speech, and the names of the persons (including any non-Toastmaster guests) who used it.
• Record who used the “Word of the Day” or a derivative of it.
• When called on by the General Evaluator, give a report from your notes. When pointing out errors, offer the correct usage. Your duty is to provide the grammarian’s report, not to give a speech or an evaluation. Your report should take no more than 1 minute.
