Speech Critical 1402 Tuesday-Friday

Friday

We checked in the Annotated Works Cited (3 highlighted sources).Three CPPs per cite.

We corrected the Annotated Works Cited and returned them for further corrections.

We did a reading check for CPPs on Ch's 1-3.  This reading check cannot be made up, so if you weren't in class, don't even ask.

The instructor said we would be going to a library session for further instruction on the databases after spring break. In the meantime, however, students should try the academic databases on their own.

To Do for Next Class:

Write a working thesis statement. Bring it to the next class. Be prepared with your book as we are writing a RD of the informative speech outline in class.

Read the other half of Ch. 5.

Be prepared for a reading check on Ch's 4 and 5.

Tuesday
The instructor announced a new policy about leaving during class. Five CPPs are deducted for each time a student leaves class when it is in session.

The natural disasters group symposium presented today. After this presentation, Colin gave a three-minute speech on healthcare.

We checked  in the Annotated Works Cited (five sources required) and class participation points were recorded. Three more sources are due by the next class.

The instructor distributed a handout about quotes in "I Am" paper. We read through the handout and spent the last part of class adopting concepts from the book and writing them in our rough drafts in the form of quotes. The quotes are to have transitions in and out.

Write quotations into RD of "I Am."
Add three more sources to Annotated Works Cited. We will correct at our next class. Highlight the new sources.
