One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish…

Wielding an electric knife, freshman Braden Moncrief skillfully filleted a redfish like a pro. Students in Mrs. Kate Arthurs-Goldberg’s freshmen Speech I class spent this week performing their “demo” speeches. Each student is required to teach the rest of the class how to do something by demonstrating steps in a process. Moncrief’s classmates watched as he instructed them to start the incision at the dorsal fin and cut behind the gills and pectoral fin down to the spine. Then he sliced away from the bone by cutting lengthwise along one side of the fish parallel to the backbone and repeated the same process for the other side of the fish.
