We discussed the graphic that is required for the informative speech. The instructor advised students of how to find or make one:
--Google search term plus "chart graph"
--Corbis and other stock photography (must leave watermark)
--public domain imagery (search "public domain" plus search term)
--CQ Researcher for graphics
--make your own in Excel
--Flickr
Props and hard copy displays can also be used for the graphic.
If you encounter a spacer.gif, use Nuke Anything Enhanced 1.0.2, a Firefox add-on.
The midterm is on April 1 and will be held the last hour of class. Students with perfect attendance and no cell phone incidents may leave early and do not have to take the exam. The exam is on the first five chapters plus Ch. 11 on informative speaking.
Informative speeches will be on April 8.
Persuasive speeches will be on May 6, the last day of class.
The speeches count more for the grade than the midterm and/or final.
To Do for Next Class:
Finish informative speech full-sentence outline. Must have in-text citations and Works Cited.
Be sure Ch's 5 & 6 are read, as there is a reading check scheduled for it (CPPs only)
Read Ch. 10 on speech anxiety.
