1402 Speech Critical

We discussed the format for the last few sessions of the class and this is how it broke down:

Nov 23: library 4:30-6. Go directly to the library. The room will be posted here later.
6-7 p.m. practicing.

Nov 30: Speeches (see table) and evaluation due from practice

Dec 7: Speeches

Dec  14: Rescheduled speeches and final.



Next we put speech topics on the table.

The instructor distributed a four-page handout on the Monroe Motivated sequence. We started on the body of the speech and did several sections in class.

In the last hour of class we broke into small groups. The instructor handed out a list of questions for group discussion. The questions were about the "I Am" journal exercise and how its findings integrated with the personality profile.

To do for next class:

  • Read chapter 10 on anxiety (might be another number in other editions)
  • Continue speech research and preparation, filling in sections II 2, 3, and B., Main Point 2 through Steps of Plan. In the preceding, do not do sections on statistics unless they are in research you've turned up. We will be having a reference librarian tell us how dig up statistics in our library work session.  Instructor will give points to students who have done this work.
Remember:  meet at the library
