| THE LONGEST AND MOST COMPLEX SPEECH ASSIGNMENT OF THE SEMESTER! Yikes! The facts: attention-getter must be facinating, shocking or extremely creative. 125 points (see syllabus for details) 6 - 7 minutes long (I will stop you after 8) at least 3 main points linked by signposts or transitions or enumeration one visual aid minimum ( if too small will not count) 3 complete source citations and an attached bibliography (see chpt. 7 for my expectations here) complete outline as you have used previously (see this blog under Januaryof 07) 2 completely scripted transitions must appear on your outline and be heard in speecyh. If not, speech drops a full grade! Introduction must be memorized, don't look down until your first transition! I reccomend choosing a policy proposition, (review chapters 16 and 17) since these are the easiest -- rememer to use the word "should" in your proposition if you go this route! Post any questions below and GOODLUCK!!!!!! |

OK, we have our work cut out for us... clearly the attention getter and the transitions are "high dollar" items.

I'm glad I got my speech out of the way, though it crunched my week time wise. I am on record as wanting to take a final as opposed to making another speech. Appearances are deceptive. Although I have made mighty attempts at adapting to this extraverted world, in reality, I am probably more of an introvert. Tests work well for introverts; speeches, less so. Very very interesting to me that the group opted for a speech as opposed to a test ! Who'da thunk ?
