Public Speaking 129 Fri. evening

The instructor returned the "bad apple" papers and talked about the last question, which few students answered correctly.

Next we reviewed dates for the end of the semester and what happened in the last class.

The instructor handed out the worksheet for the class exercise, which was called "Sell Me Something." With this exercise, each person has 30-60 seconds to sell a product that they have with them and that they find indispensable. The objective was to gain experience working through the "motivated sequence" in a classroom situation.

Students delivered a 30-60-second speech using the sequence.

Next class:

persuasive speeches
