I don’t know is not a fail. A fail is a lie.
A teacher or a panel can carry I don’t know. They cannot carry made-up 47 % when they ask where from. Trust falls. Even a good thesis starts to smell. An advocate says: I don’t know that. I know that… and goes back to the thesis and the proof they have. I don’t know is about an edge. Not about the core. The core — a thesis and a witness — you must carry. Otherwise you are in an album, not in a defence. I don’t know is not an excuse for the whole work. Practice: a question off topic. Facing. Calm. Not an awkward laugh. Not a minute of apology. A breath from Speaker. The next sentence that is true, not padding so there is no silence. Delete from a slide figures you cannot carry with a source. Better empty than a lie a commission photographs with their eyes. A parent holds the account. No recording on the network. No email in an answer. Today a drill three times, until I don’t know goes with no awkward laugh. A laugh eats trust the same as a lie.
Ema invented 47 %, because something to say. The teacher: where from? A shrug. Trust gone. Adam: I don’t know the exact count in the country. I know 12 votes at ours and a source. The commission nodded. Honesty. The thesis lives with no fog. Practise that before a desk puts a question that hurts. A parent asked about a number in the country. Ema wanted to say 47. Adam stopped her. They said I don’t know, returned 12 votes and a source. They deleted a figure with no source from the slide. A practice commission nodded. The thesis lived with no fog.
A sentence into notes: I don’t know that. I know that… Practise it until it goes with no awkward laugh. A laugh eats trust the same as a lie.
An edge may I don’t know. The core you must carry.
A parent asks a question off the thesis. Click Present (F5). Facing. Say I don’t know. Return the thesis and proof. No made-up figure. In PowerPoint the same. Write that sentence into notes. Drill three times. Until it goes with no laugh and no minute of apology. Delete from a slide figures with no source. A commission photographs them with their eyes. Forever on that minute. A lie at the core is a fall. I don’t know at an edge is honesty. You must know the difference. When you do not know the core — what it is about and what proof you have — you are not in a defence. You are in an album. Do not defend an album with an excuse I don’t know for everything. Even the back row sees that. A parent’s account. When you do not know the core — what it is about and what proof you have — you are not in a defence. You are in an album. Do not defend an album with an excuse I don’t know for everything. Even the back row sees that. An edge may I don’t know. The core you must carry.
Wrong: 47 % from air, where from, a shrug, the thesis smells of a lie.
Right: I don’t know the country, I know 12 votes and a source. The thesis lives.
I don’t know is short. A minute of apology is um from Speaker again. Find on a slide a number with no source. Delete it, or add a source. Say out loud: I don’t know that. I know that… Ask a parent if it sounded like calm, or like a joke about yourself. You want calm. I don’t know that. I know that… Facing. No figure from air. An edge may I don’t know. The core you must carry.
I don’t know is not an excuse for the whole work. You must have work: a thesis and proof. I don’t know is about an edge. Not about the core.
Four things you will build in this course
The course has four small projects. You do not have to do them all at once. Today you add only this:
🎯 A hobby in 5 slides
Five slides about something you like doing. One sentence about what it is. No paragraphs from your notebook.
Hobby: I don’t know who invented it. I know how I do it. That is enough when it is a hobby.
📚 A report
Eight slides for school: a start, three proofs, an end. The title on every slide is a sentence, not “Slide 3”.
Report: I don’t know a date that is not in the textbook. I know what I have on the slide with a source.
📊 Survey results
A chart from a table (not a screenshot from chat) and under it where the numbers come from.
Survey: I don’t know what the whole school would say. I know what 12 people in 6.B said.
⚖️ A defence
You say one sentence, show proof, answer “and what if…”. If you do not know, you say I don’t know.
Defence: a made-up figure in front of a commission is worse than silence and I don’t know.
A question off, a return to the core
A parent aims off. You don’t know, you return a thesis and proof. Facing.
-
Into notes write: I don’t know that. I know that… (thesis and proof). Present (F5). Facing.
-
A parent a question off. Say I don’t know. Return a thesis and a witness. No figure from air. No minute of apology.
-
Three times. Until it goes with no awkward laugh. In PowerPoint the same notes in presenter view.
-
Delete from slides figures you cannot carry with a source. Better empty than a lie.
-
A parent’s account. No recording on the network. No email in an answer.
Fog, or honesty
Fog falls at the first where from. Honesty lets a thesis live.
-
Find on a slide a number with no source. Delete it, or add a source.
-
Say out loud the sentence I don’t know that. I know that…
-
Ask a parent if it sounded like calm, or like a joke about yourself.
Now you 💪
- I can say I don’t know and go back to the thesis.
- On a slide there is no made-up figure.
- I do not use I don’t know for the whole core of the work.
Done when: You can say I don’t know in calm and go back to a thesis and proof. A lie from the screen is gone.
What to take from this lesson
- I don’t know is not a fail. A lie is.
- An edge may I don’t know. The core you must carry.
- A sentence: I don’t know that. I know that…
- A figure with no source off the slide.
- Calm, not an awkward laugh, not a minute of apology.
- Namas in the examples (Ema, Adam) are made up. Do not put your number, email or photo on a slide.
