We had a little confusion over how to see instructor feedback, so Joy logged in and showed other students how to tell where the instructor feedback on an assignment is.
Next we talked about how the midterm is on March 29. We have already gone over which students need to take it.
Since full-sentence outlines were due today, the instructor checked them and the Works Cited and the note card in. The outline was 3 poaints, the WC was 2, and the index card was worth 1 CPP.
In the last part of the class, we talked about the illustration that was required for the speech. The instructor showed students how to look up a graph or chart using Google images. In addition, she showed them how to find illustrations at stock photography houses, such as corbis. Later she will post a layer removal tool that students may need to use the illustrations.
To Do for Next Class
Study for midterm, if you are a student who has to take it. The chapters it covers will be posted here later this afternoon.
Practice your speech.
Tuesday
We started the class with a reading check on Ch. 11. It is worth five CPPs.
The midterm is March 29. We have already gone through the attendance records. The midterm is on Ch's 1-5, 11, and 16.
We did an exercise on connotative and denotative language (Ch. 4 text). Students are to complete the exercise and bring it to the next class.
To Do for Next Class:
Obtain feedback from instructor from Blackboard. The feedback will be available after 12N on Wednesday. Based on this, finish the informative speech outline, complete with in-text citations and an annotated works cited. Transfer key words to one index card which may contain only 50 words (quotations should go on a second card).
Be prepared for the practice session, which is Friday's class. Have recording capability, so bring your cell phones or digital cameras. There will be a speech reaction paper, so you will need the recording to refer to.
On Fri., April 1, we will have our first presentations. Colin and Frank are the speakers. If we have time at that class, the instructor will show the class how to do visuals.
On April 5th, Darnell will make up a 3-minute speech that he was unable to do due to joining the class late.
