Thurs.
Today we made calls to the legislative offices. Students paired up and made their call about a bill while their partner recorded. The instructor will review the calls, which were sent to her via email with the subject line heading "phone." We will devote time in class to this experience.
In addition, we set the dates for the three-minute speech. The dates are:
Outline due: 3/18

Two assignments were handed out today. The first, the phone call to the representative, will take place on Thursday. Students will record each other's calls on their cell phone and post the mp3 for the instructor to grade. Page to post.
The other assignment sheet that was handed out was the "Three-Minute Speech."
