We will begin with volunteers and then I will go by the roll in order until everyone in the class has spoken. Speeches not completed by the time we move on to the next activity will not be heard and will be counted as missed. What do I turn in on speech day? At the time of your speech you will turn in 1) A printed, staple fiberd, detailed well-rounded/detailed outline of your p eech. take after the example provided at the end of this attainout.

What are the research guidelines for this assignment? Assignment must contain at least 3 credible and (if possible) scholarly research sources in addition to your own expertise (your own personal knowledge does NOT count as one of the 3 sources). Wikipedia is not an appropriate source, though it seat certainly be a starting point for gathering information. incomplete is ask. com nor any of those types of websites.

For example, According to a 2008 study reported recently in National Geographic, forty-percent of the earths animals are considered endangered species. You are required to have at least 3 vocal citations in your speech. What type of visual aid is required? This speech requires a professional discovering college-level visual aid. What does that believe of? It means a visual aid that one might muster up in a college class or the professional world.In other words, not a poster that looks as if a third-grader with crayons made it not simply writing or drawing on the whiteboard and not merely an object desperately thrown in at the stick up minute to meet the visual aid requirement. A good visual aid is well thought out/meaningful, astronomic enough to be easy seen by every person in the room, clearly labeled, simple enough that the viewer can easily figure out the point, and is fully Comm 1100 Pergrem incorporated into the speech NOT just tacked on at the end like Oh and heres my visual aid.Its a picture of a dog. What makes a good visual aid? An object can be a good visual aid. For example, Im talking about par ts of a skateboard and I bring my board in as a model to show to the audience. A picture/chart/graph/drawing, etc. can be a good visual aid. Again, it should be large enough for everyone to see. How can you accomplish this? Enlarge it at Office Depot, Staples, etc. and put it on foam board (much better than poster board). Charts, graphs, etc. should be done on the computing machine and labels typed, not drawn by hand.Another option is to pass out a copy of our visual to everyone, for example, a National sustain recruitment brochure for everyone in the class to be passed out before you begin your speech. DO NOT PASS STUFF AROUND DURING YOUR SPEECH. This is very distracting for the audience and for you the speaker. And of course you can put graphics into a Power catamenia slideshow or other electronic medium and display them on the screen (you dont have to do a full-blown PowerPoint presentation to put the graphics up). This can be a very good way to get pictures, charts, etc. into a format that everyone can see.How do you do i t? Create your stuff and then either email it to yourself or execute it on a flash drive (do not save it in your student folder). I will have the projector and computer up at the front of the room. You will bring your flash drive up and assure in, or you will pull up your email on the computer and open your PowerPoint from there. NOTE You cannot login under your name/password on the instructor computer at the front of the room. Therefore, you cannot access your visual aid if you store it in y our student folder. You can, however, access your student email. What about video clips as a visual aid?These are fine as long as they are 20 seconds or less. You must actually speak for three minutes. What if you have a Mac? You must get your Mac stuff into some type of format our windows based machines can read. It will not work to look for and plug your Mac into our video system. How should I dress? I am not requiring that you move into dress clothes to present your speech. I am requiri ng that you look reasonable and appropriate for a semi -formal classroom presentation DO NOT wear a hat, DO NOT wear anything that distracts the audience, DO wear reasonabl e clothes that are neat and tidy.For example, your clothes should not look as though you were just mauled by wild animals, that you are auditioning for the adult sport industry, that you just finished plowing, that you are about to star in a musi c video, or that you are about to walk onto the playing field for a grudge match. What steps do I take to create a speech? 1. Analyze your audience and your interests, selecting an appropriate, worthwhile, and interesting topic on which you can find adequate research. 2. Develop and design your speech using adequate research material to meet the time limits. Decide upon your main points and sub-points.Be sure to include change support devices (at least 3 different types) as discussed (stats, stories, examples, compare/contrast, etc). 3.

Have a conclusion that reviews/summarizes the main points and lets the audience know the presentation is ending (provides closure). 4. Use at least vocal 3 citations as explained. Comm 1100 Pergrem 5.Use appropriate, visible, professional (college-level), and useful visual aids. Practice using them beforehand. 6. Language/Nonverbal Work on these elements eye contact, appropriate gestures and posture, avoiding uhs, rate, volume, articulation, professional yet conversational tone, and appropriate language and grammar. Use correct pronunciation. No gum. Remember the 3 Cs of speaking Strive to appear confident, competent, and conversational. Be enthusiastic. 7. Delivery Style This is an extemporaneous speech DO NOT READ YOUR SPEECH. Do not memorize your speech. You may have notes (your outline) while you present.Notes should be used as support, not as a crutch. Do not write out your speech in complete sentences (this makes you want to read). 8. Practice, practice, and practice. You should practice until you feel as though even if you lost your place you could find it in your notes and keep right on going. 9. Use proper speech etiquette Turn off cell phones, do not use the computers, do not speak to others during speeches or be inattentive, and do not envision the classroom during a speech. 10. In this class we are here to improve our communication skills, not engage in moral, ethical or political confer over speech content.Disrespect for fellow speakers will not be tolerated. Just because you dont happen to agree with a speech doesnt mean its a bad speech. However, disrespect for the audience by a speaker will not be tolerated either. No profanity or impertinent language should be used in speeches. 11. Remember, it is OK to have opinions bu t dont allow your personal views or emotions to dictate your speech. Find objective information. This is an informative speech. Do not let your feelings get in the way of good research. How will I be graded? A copy of the Speech Evaluation tag end used for grading will be made available on the class website.I will return your grades via Vista (will take at least a week after presentation are completed).

You cannot present unless you have your speech packet As you can see, it is possible to lose a large number of points off the top for not following the instructions of the assignment.
