301 Mid Term: Steve Jobs Speech on You Tube

For this portion of the take-home mid term, go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60cDHb-tvMA and watch the speech a couple of times (it's interesting and kind of funny, hope you enjoy it!) Next, provide examples of any of the elements from our class outline you hear/see demonstrated in his speech from attention getter to memorable ending and all the stuff in between, give complete sentence answers and examples for each component,

ie: The speaker captured the audience's attention by dancing with the clown in a weasel costume.

I would like these hand-written, neatly, in your own fabulous penmenship, please. Muchisima gracias mis amigos! Due for T/Th students this coming Thursday 10/18, or this coming Saturday, 10/20. No late papers (papeles tardes) ! Post any questions below please--S

Dear Sandra--This test is so clever, fair and yet open-minded, how do you do it? You are a fabulous teacher, friend and mentor. They should send you over to troubled countries to spread your message of public speaking and good will. --Sandra's Mom

You teach with such grace, skill, and patience. It must be wonderful to have such quality "A" students such as James. I really sympathize with you though for having to deal with rowdy troublemakers like Johnston and Cherie. Not to mention hooligans like the 2 Jessicas, Arturo, Kelli, Chris Bliss, and Bryce.

Sandra help!!!!

i can't get the video to play...it keeps cutting up and going black, not to mention it sounds like it is scrabbled. i have tried two computers on three different days. I don't know if it's the video or me (which it probably is) but my other videos are working fine...anyways, let me know what else I can try!!!

Initially I dreaded the thought of listening to another "boring" graduation speech, but found that I really enjoyed this one. - - Mary King, Saturday's class

Dear Googballs and Kidders--
Any version of the Jobs Commencement speech you can find will work for this exercise if You Tube is kicking you off, just google "Steve Jobs Commencement Speech"--if you absolutely can't get it, I will accept a different speech, if you give me the full url so I can listen to it too. OR read a printed version of the speech and do it that way???? I am so open minded!!! Smiles--S
