BLOCKS 1 AND 3:
ASSIGNMENT FOR TUESDAY
(DUE AT THE BEGINNING OF CLASS)
All of you already know the assignment, but here it is again:
- Go through your speech and mark it with BOLD letters for emphasis. Put (PAUSE) or ellipses (…) for pauses.
- Print out your speech. Circle the parts where you want to slow down for effect. Write “BREATHE” in the margin (if you need reminders).
- Practice your speech at least 3 times.
- Video record yourself rehearsing your speech at least one time.
- Write a bulleted list of at least 5 places you want to improve.
Also, many of you wanted to know how I am going to grade your assignment. Here is the breakdown:
- Video Recording of your speech: 10 points
- Bulleted List of 5 areas to improve: 10 points
In
order to get the full 10 points on your video, I need to see it and it
needs to have both audio and video, and it needs to cover your entire
six-paragraph speech.
In
order to get the full 10 points on you list of 5 things to improve, you
need to focus on the DELIVERY aspect of your speech (your volume, your
intonation, your pace, etc...all the things we talked about today.) You
must show honest and helpful feedback to yourself.BLOCK 2
