Final Grade UUUUUUUU! ‘Tribute’ Speech (An Informative Speech that praises someone’s life) 5 to 7 minutes, cite at least four outside sources The purpose of this assignment is to help you become more familiar with narrowing your topic to something specific (a person) and organizing a presentation for an audience using the pattern explained in Chapter 10. You will gather and utilize outside support material to explain and describe your subject matter (the person to whom you have given tribute). For example, if that person is a war veteran, provide some information about the war in which the person had experienced using outside sources. Specifically, after completing this assignment you should be able to: ! • • • • • • • • • • • D! Develop a thesis statement, which identifies your informative goal of your presentation. (List Specific Purpose & Central Idea at the beginning of the typed outline - Chap. 5) Select an organizational pattern to best represent the informative goal of your presentation. Select an organizational pattern to best represent the information for your main points. Develop an outline with main points and sub-points that represents the organizational pattern you have selected. Acquire outside evidence and information to utilize as support your main points. Provide oral documentation for outside evidence to support your main points (4 sources). Develop an introduction, which incorporates an attention getter and overview. Incorporate transitions and signposts to provide verbal organization for the presentation. Develop a conclusion, which provides a summary of the points addressed in the body of the presentation. Develop a reference page which complies with APA formatting (MLA is acceptable) Gain additional confidence in your public speaking abilities. Informative w/Visual Aid (6 to 8 minutes, cite at least four outside sources) This assignment expands on the objectives of the Tribute Speech and was specifically designed to provide you with experience in the development of a formal rather than informal presentation. This assignment is to help you become more familiar with the topic selection phase of the presentation process and prepared to collect and utilize outside support material for many of your ideas. You will choose a topic of interest to you and present information as a way to enlighten your classmates. In your speech preparation you will balance concrete and abstract words to fully describe and explain your topic. Specifically, after completing this assignment students should be able to: • Engage in the audience analysis process to select an appropriate informative topic • Develop a thesis statement, which identifies your informative goal of your presentation. (List Specific Purpose & Central Idea before your typed outline) • Select an organizational pattern to best represent the informative goal of your presentation. • Select an organizational pattern to best represent the information for your main points. • Develop an outline with main points and sub-points that represents the organizational pattern you have selected. • Acquire outside evidence and information to utilize as support your main points. • Provide oral documentation for outside evidence to support your main points (4 sources). • Develop an introduction, which incorporates an attention getter and overview. • Incorporate transitions and signposts to provide verbal organization for the presentation. • Develop a conclusion, which provides a summary of the points addressed in the body of the presentation. • Develop a reference page which complies with APA formatting (MLA is acceptable) • Target areas of improvement based on instructor and student comments/critiques in order to gain more confidence in your public speaking abilities. ! X! Presentation of Literature (6 to 8 minutes, cite at least four outside sources) This assignment is designed to exercise at least two methods of public speaking into one presentation. You will combine extemporaneous speaking either manuscript (read word-for-word) or memorized. See Chapter 14 to review tips about these types or presentation. This presentation asks you to be creative while maintaining structure. I will provide an example during lecture. As for the content, you will present a work of literature (poem, monologue, excerpt from a larger work) in part or in its entirety, and relate it to your own life or opinion. Throughout your presentation, you will also attempt to adapt your message to your audience with statements such as “I believe that you and I…” or “I think the writer is telling us that…” If at this point you feel that something is missing from this description, you are probably right. Because your creativity and willingness to think independently about a concept, issue or idea that affect our lives compose the final ingredients to this presentation. You will need to turn in a COMPLETE SENTENCE outline (see Chapter 12), just as you did with the previous two presentations. Include the work in this outline. Again, this is a complete sentence outline, not a keyword outline. Use the keyword outline for your note cards. However, this time you’ll need to include in the outline the complete text of the work that you have chosen. • • • • • • • Criteria 5 to 7 minute speech You can choose ONE of the three variations (Chapter 14): 1. Extemporaneous + Manuscript (read word-for-word) 2. Extemporaneous + Memorized 3. Extemporaneous + Manuscript + Memorized (combination) Read/Recite at least for 45 seconds total. Anything shorter will result in a lowered grade. Cite your “literature” (both write and mention the creator of the work, along with its title, when it was created, etc.) in MLA or APA. If you do not cite the work orally and written on your work cited page, you will lose -10 points. For this assignment, if you are the author of the unpublished work, be sure to mention that and cite your original work which answers who, what, when, and whether or not it is has been published: " Last Name, First Name. (2005). Mud Cracks, unpublished poem. The podium can be used to give presentations (reading word-for-word from a page), but you are not locked to that one position. Feel free to walk across the front of the classroom during your presentation. Delivery: Your expressiveness, volume and enthusiasm are important factors in the success of this presentation. Read Chapter 14 about effective nonverbal communication. PRACTICE. Persuasive Presentation (7 to 9 minutes; cite at least four outside sources) While the number of potential forms of informative presentations is limitless (e.g. objects, processes, concepts, etc.), a persuasive presentation requires one to make a choice. As you progress through your academic career and move on to your desired career, you will have opportunities to influence audiences to make a choice based on information presented (job interview, product marketing, etc.) Regardless of the context that you find yourself presenting information, there are a number of valuable lessons for you to learn concerning the content ! Y! appropriateness and utilization of sources to support your ideas. As a way to provide a strong foundation in the above areas, this assignment was developed to provide you with an opportunity to acquire the appropriate skills for persuasive speaking. This assignment expands on the objectives set forth in informative presentation by taking a step further. You organize information in order persuade your audience to make a choice. Secondly, after completing this assignment you should be more familiar with the topic selection phase of the presentation process and prepared to collect and utilize outside support material to support your ideas. Finally, you will be given the opportunity to select a topic of interest to you and present information as a way to influence your classmates’ attitudes, beliefs and values (Chapters 16 & 17). Optional: a manuscript and/or memorized work with the extemporaneous presentation. Specifically, after completing this assignment students should be able to: • Engage in the audience analysis process to select an appropriate persuasive topic • Develop a thesis statement, which identifies your informative goal of your presentation. (List Specific Purpose & Central Idea “To Persuade/convince…” at the very beginning of your typed outline) • Select a persuasive organizational pattern to best represent the persuasive goal of your presentation (for example, the Motivated Sequence, or Problem-Solution patterns). • Select a persuasive organizational pattern to best represent the persuasive goal for your main points. • Develop a full/complete sentence outline with main points and sub-points that represents the organizational pattern you have selected. • Acquire outside evidence and information to utilize as support your main points. • Provide oral documentation for outside evidence (at least FOUR sources) to support your main points. • Develop an introduction, which incorporates an attention grabber and overview. • Include transitions and signposts to provide verbal organization for the presentation. • Develop a conclusion, which provides a summary of the points addressed in the body of the presentation, and leaves the audience to make a choice concerning the topic covered. • Develop a reference page, which complies with APA formatting (MLA is acceptable as well). DO NOT SIMPLY COPY AND PASTE a web address, book title, magazine title. See Chap. 6 • Gain additional confidence in your public speaking abilities through the scope of persuasion. Your Full/Complete Sentence Outline is due the day speeches begin. If it is not received at this time, your grade will incur late penalty of -15 points for EACH DAY THE ASSIGNMENT IS LATE.
