We first worked on the informative speech outline. We put a few outlines on the overhead projector and on the computer screen and critiqued them.
We then worked on writing the introduction. We went through the different types of introductions by reading through them from the text in class. The instructor asked each student to then write their introduction.
We decided on speaking dates. The first date is informative, the second persuasive. The dates have been entered on a table (at right) and posted in the Links section.

The next activity was to take the personality profile. Students went to the profile link (above, "personality profile"). They brought back their profile type and the instructor listed them.
She then told the class what the letters stood for. Students were asked to read three articles on their type and bring them to class next week for a group discussion. This discussion will also incorporate the "I Am" journal paper, which will be returned to students at that class.
In the last part of class, the instructor went over student attendance and who would or would not have to take the midterm. The midterm will be given on Oct. 26. It will cover citation material, the chapters from the text, and the instructor's lectures. The exam will be given in the last hour of class and students who do not need to take it will be excused one hour early.
The instructor assigned Ch. 9 as reading for next week.
To Do for Next Week:
Group paper due
Three articles on personality profile, annotated, bring to class for the group discussion
Have speech outline with the introduction added on. Put in the text citations by listing the author's last name in parentheses after where you took the information. We will be writing the conclusion next week in class.Also the preview.
Study for the midterm if you have to take it
