We discussed communication and self-perception, which are covered in Chapters 2 and 3 (previously assigned reading). The instructor used a .ppt to show examples of how our brains "fill in" information.
The instructor scheduled an online Blackboard class for Friday where we will choose our informative speech topics. The class will meet at the same time, but students will sign on from their home PCs. The reason for this change in schedule is that the instructor has a training commitment at 2 p.m.
The instructor checked in "I Am" field reports and we rescheduled the due date for this paper to Tuesday,
March 1.
The instructor discussed feedback from the group symposium speeches. Students are asked to write a plan for how they will address comments on this speech. The instructor suggested that students who have speech rate or projection as an issue should contact the speech lab. The e-mail is edgleya@kean.e-d-u (take hyphens out of edu)
To Do for Next Class:
Review the speech topics and read articles that are in the links. The link to the topics is at right. Be prepared to commit to a topic for the informative speech on Friday.
If you have completed your group symposium, write your speech reflection paper (link at right) and submit at Monday's class.
Next Tuesday we will listen to the the natural resources symposium.
Read Chapter 4
Do not be surprised if there are five-question class participation quizzes on Ch's 1-3 at our Friday or Tuesday class.
