Friday
The instructor delivered a .ppt on communication and perception. We looked at perceptual anomolies (optical illusions).
We were supposed to check in two interviews for the "I Am" assignment but we ran out of time. One Wednesday there should be four interviews.
To do for next class:
Read half of Ch. 4
Start thinking about informative speech topic
Work on reaction to speech paper
Work on "I Am" paper
--------------
The instructor returned outlines and Works Cited from the group presentations.
She asked students to correct their Works Cited. She told them the areas that needed to be corrected, such as margins, type font matching and sizing, etc. Students will have to check their citation guide, however, for the individual citations.
The correct form for the outline will be covered on Wednesday.
