strokes each year."
Oops, I forgot to give you back your outlines. I will make another attempt at our next class. These are your group symposium outlines.

Thursday, Oct. 6, 2011
Today's class was devoted to writing the outline. The instructor put notes on the overhead projector and students wrote their outline along with each point: general purpose, specific purpose, thesis, etc.
We also looked at the speech evaluation sheet. In each class, we will cover a part of the evaluation sheet. Today's topic was "organization" and the instructor told students want to do to get the most points under organization.
We learned how to decide what our three main points are.
She also said we would talk about one speech anxiety reliever at each class.
She told students what needed to be turned in at each class:
- key word outline with in-text citations and annotated works cited
- page headed up "what I'm working on," which is points written to the student from the last speech
- speech evaluation form
- note cards, which are shown to the instructor and taken with the speaker. The notecard can have only 30 words on it. You do not need to give the instructor the note cards at the conclusion of the speech.
To Do for Next Class:
Bring outline for each part we talked about in class today. This is mostly everything except for the introduction and the preview. Each point must be backed up with research. The annotated works cited needs to be attached, as well.
Bring research to the next class. By the time the speech outline is handed in, there should be a minimum of 10 sources. There will be a second Works Cited with all sources on it, and each source counts for a class participation point.
Be sure you are current with the readings, as a reading check can come at any time. In addition, there is a midterm on the reading check.
Reading for this week is (per the schedule): Ch. 9, Organizing the Outline
