Greetings class!

As a reminder, I have allotted time for you to meet in your evaluation groups tomorrow, Monday 11/10.

Looking forward to the continuation of your persuasive speeches….

Hey class!  The results are in… here is how your classmates feel about your persuasive speech topic; we’ll take the same assessment after the speeches are over to see if folks have moved.

1=Strongly Disagree, 2=Disagree, 3=Neither agree nor agree, 4=Agree, 5=Strongly Agree

BOOO!

Please be sure to complete the following Persuasive Speech Perspectives Form no later than Sunday, November 2 to let your classmates know where you stand on their persuasive speech topics.

Greetings Class:

I hope you are doing well on this fine Tuesday night. 🙂

I have reviewed and provided feedback on your persuasive speech topics.  Please take a look at my comments and let me know if you have any questions.  Unfortunately I am unable to provide any feedback on late submissions.

Tomorrow is a mandatory speech practice night.  I will be present to take attendance at the beginning of the class session and will remain in the room in the event that you have any questions or need help.  However, you are welcome to work with your groups elsewhere on campus AFTER checking in.

Thanks and see you all tomorrow!

Dear class:

Your self-reflections are due on Monday, 10/20 on CI Learn (no later than 11:59 p.m.).

Hey Class:

Informative speeches are coming quickly!  Here are some reminders for Monday’s class.

• Bring 4 copies of the peer evaluation form for YOU to fill out and give a completed form to the speaker you evaluated (the speaker will return these to me before leaving class).
• Dress professionally
• Give me a copy of both of your outlines as well as your PowerPoint (if you use one)

Outlines

Please view the instructional videos and sample here: http://comm101.jaimiehoffman.com/outlines-how-to/

• Submit a Delivery & Preparation Outline to Jaimie BEFORE your speech (you also probably want to bring a copy of your delivery outline for you).
• Your outline must include:
  • General purpose
  • Specific purpose
  • Thesis
  • Organizational pattern of the speech (e.g. topical, spatial, etc.)
  • List Introduction, Body and Conclusion as three separate sections
  • Restart roman numerals with each section (listed above)
  • Reference transitions (typically with [brackets]
  • Included citations in outline
  • Wrote in full sentences (preparatory outline)
  • Use correct APA formatted reference list

DO NOT READ YOUR SPEECH WORD FOR WORD; THIS WILL RESULT IN A LOSS OF 30 POINTS
