Monday
Link to student list of topics.
We set up an instant texting plan for the class in case of bad weather or in the event the instructor has trouble getting a parking space. The instructor will phone Tasneem or Nicole (backup) and they will convey the message to the rest of the class.
Next we worked on topics for the informative speech. Students were divided into groups and they brainstormed about areas they wanted to learn more about. Then we recorded the topics at this link . Students can continue to add topics if they think of more later. The instructor showed students a list of additional topics and she went over them. Students are to come to Thursday's class with their topic selection.
The instructor handed back the student copy of the group symposium. A few students did not get theirs: Erica, Sal, Nicole, Ashley, Aajjaa, and Shayyine. They will be returned at the next class session.
After we chose topics, the instructor put the "I Am" journal assignment up on the overhead projector and we went over it. Links to this assignment will be posted here later.
Next class:
Work on outlines, as we will do check-in next Thursday
Bring Annotated Works Cited, as we will correct in class
Have topic chosen and some research done. Have a narrowed-down topic to commit to at the next class.
The instructor will distribute hard copies of the assignment for I Am.

1402 Communication as Critical Citizenship
Thursday
Two groups presented today.
After the presentations, the instructor left the classroom while the class discussed whether they wanted to do tests or outlines. The instructor explained how each concept would work, i.e., tests would be viewed as proof of reading; outlines would be the major point from each paragraph. Students decided to do outlines.
Chapters 1-3 do not have to be outlined as the students will prove they have read the chapters through their "I Am Journal" paper, which is upcoming. Students should immediately begin outlining the other chapters. The instructor announced there will be an outline check at next Thursday's class.
To do for next class:
Work on outlines
(more will be posted here later)
Bring Annotated Works Cited (if you have not already handed it in) as we will correct it in class
Monday
Today was the first day for group presentations. Two groups presented, one on multitasking and the other on healthcare systems in other countries.
Thursday we will have two more groups and possibly a third presenting a second time.
Practicing is a requirement for this speech. One does not have to practice with the group. For anyone repeating their presentation, two mp3s of individual practice sessions are required. These must be posted at Blackboard and the instructor must be advised of the posting by email.
Please be sure to save the Schedule of Activities and Assignments to your hard drive. It is located at BlackBoard. I will also send it out as an attachment, as a few students say they are still having technical issues with BlackBoard.
To Do for Next Class:
Practice presentation
Make sure corrections provided by the instructor are performed
Reading: Ch. 9, 216-24, Organizing a Speech
Ch. 11, 295-302, Informative Speech

Announcement for 1402
The following has been posted at Blackboard and sent via e-mail:
I still do not have the following outlines and Annotated Works Cited:
Stephen
Vivek
Chantal
Chantal
Ylani
Aajjah
Tyherrah
Melissa
Some of the above students have said they mailed the outline and AWC to me, however if your name is on this list, you need to re-send it.
All other outlines have been read and critiqued. If you have not received your critique, you should contact me about it and be sure to tell me how you originally sent it to me.
After this assignment, you must have all technical issues with Blackboard resolved. I won't be accepting assignments in any other format unless I confirm unusual technical obstacles with the Blackboard IT people.
I will only be looking at assignments until around 5 p.m. today, so if your outline and AWC has not been critiqued, you will have to present without my comments.

1402 What Happened in Class
Thursday:
Today we taped our panels during practice.
Outlines and Annotated Works Cited were submitted. Instructor returned feedback.
Instructor is posting new reading schedule at Blackboard later this evening. Check the schedule for next week's readings.
Next class: group symposium presentations
Continue with readings, per the assignment that is posted below.
Monday:
1402
Upcoming dates:
This Thursday is outline due day, which should be posted at Blackboard.
Instructor will look at outline, evaluate, and return.
Also bring outlines to class as a printed-out version.
Instructor will review as many as possible during class while you practice.
Today we will need to look for open spaces in which to practice. Send team out.
On Thursday you will be taping, so someone must bring a DVD to record and distribute the tapes online.
What will your outline look like?
Name per syllabus
Outline double spaced
Internal text references
Works Cited page attached
On Thursday you must have your outline transferred to an index card (cards were distributed).
When we take attendance on Thursday, you must show your index card with outline. No more than 30 words.
When you look at the video, take notes for your one-page personal evaluation (worth 10 points on final grade). We chose one person and a back up for each group to bring a DVD. As Laura pointed out, a rewritable might be a good investment as we will most likely be taping for the other speeches.
The instructor gave informative and persuasive speaking dates and asked students to choose a date. We will match people and dates at an upcoming class:
Informative: Nov. 2, 5, 9, 12, 16, 19
Persuasive: Nov. 23 30, Dec. 3, 7, 10, 14, 17

What Happened in Class 1402 Mon-Thurs
Thursday Sept. 3
Speech 1402
We had a chaotic beginning to our first class due to the overhead projector having no electrical signal. This prevented us from reading the syllabus in class. We went to Plan B, and that was to do paired interviews and introductions.
The instructor taught the class a technique for remembering a person’s name, and that is to associate it with something about the person’s face. Using this technique, many members of the class were able to recall the names of our first 10-12 students.
Students did introductions and we covered about half the class.
The instructor told students about the text and the blog.
Next class: Order books or purchase them at the bookstore. Online orders should be printed out to prove that they were placed within a few days of the first class. If a book should arrive late, this proof will enable the student to make up the work at a later date without any decrease in grade.
Students will also need an an MLA/APA style guide. One used for a previous class will be acceptable.
