Jenny bought herself a few precious seconds by standing up, thanking the Deputy for his question, and repeating the question. Then she extemporized:
"This is a challenging enterprise; I received an email about it just a short while ago and have only had time to form a general concept. I will ask my group to form three teams. One will brainstorm slogans for the campaign. The second will draft text for sample ads. And the third will develop graphics to go with the text. That's what the planning looks like so far. We will know more tomorrow after the teams have had a chance to get together. We will want to coordinate with other groups working on similar issues. And we will be very interested in feedback and coaching from Ms. Hawkins." She nodded to her supervisor, who grinned and gave her a thumbs up.
My teacher used to always say that to buy time, you ask for definitions, etc. from the spelling bee people/judges while you review the spelling in your head.
