Miss America Self-Introduction Serves a Purpose for ESL Students

If you go 1 minute and 50 seconds into this, you'll see the Miss America self-introductions:

They're to show the students how short a self-introduction can be.  For example, Miss Colorado says, "Colorado means red, but I'm tickled pink to be here.  I'm ....Miss Colorado." 

This provides comic relief.

Their own self-introduction can be as long as a minute, giving their name, the country they're from, something that's unique about them, and their favorite fable.

Oh, joy!
