What is due, clarified..

Okay, here is the sum up.

-one page summary (group)
-outline (group)
-analysis (individual)

As a group turn in a one page summary about what you learned from the chapter and how you applied the 7 concepts to your project. This can also include any pertinent information about individual contributions if you would like me to know.

As an individual, you are to analyze your group in terms of the concepts in the blog entry describing the analysis. Some examples are leadership style, cohesion, climate etc.

Go back to "older posts" if you need to find this post describing these two assignments. The grading rubrics are also there.

In addition, you will also turn in a completed outline before you begin your group speech.You are welcome to turn in any other contributing work like your group notes and proposals etc. However, I will only require the outline, individual report,and group summary.

Feel free to email me with any further questions.

Couple things...

I want the group speech working outline turned in Tuesday, April 20th in class.

Please remember that the group speech is just that, a group effort. Individuals need to be involved and groups need to work together. If a member is absent or unavailable, it is up to them to find out what they missed. It is up to the group to work with that individual to keep them involved.

I will pass back papers on Tuesday!!

Group Project notes:

In class on Thursday, April 8th...

You will turn in a summary with the following included:
- individual roles in the project!!
- the decided format you will present: examples are talk shows, game shows, reality shows etc. YOU MUST CHOOSE A FORMAT TO PRESENT, YOU CANNOT MERELY STAND UP AND TAKE TURNS TALKING!!! I also encourage interaction with the class, it goes over well.
- names of members present.

When you do present your project either on the 27th or 29th, you will need to turn in the following:

- Outline with names of all participants and their names in parenthesis after their parts in presentation. I should be able to follow your speech via your outline. This should have a works cited page as well.

- These summary reports from today and Thursday (4/6 and 4/8)

- Your group 1 page summary discussing what you learned from chapter 13 and potentially how you incorporated it into your project if it was not clear from your presentation.

- Your individual report analyzing your group interaction applying the 7 criteria as listed in the blog.

- I will have a rubric for you on the day you present, you can find the grading criteria in the blog where the assigment is described.

Persuasive Speech thoughts

As you are all refining your persuasive speeches, keep the following ideas in mind:

1. You need a works cited page

2. You need to make sure to have a "flip- side" or alternative perspective. Make sure to mention this idea, but do not dwell on it as it may confuse the audience of what your persuasive argument is. For instance, if I am doing a speech on working to prevent drinking and driving. I may mention what organizations are currently doing to prevent this or I may talk about statistics that may support a decline in the amount of arrests or accidents that are a result of this. I will mention these ideas BRIEFLY. This demonstrates knowledge of the big picture.

3. If you are wondering how to sound "more persuasive", a good technique is to compare and contrast!! You can find examples and explanation of this in the chapter on persuasive speaking in your book.

4. Make sure to have your proofs in parenthesis in your outline after the parts that apply. For instance, if your intro is a good example of an emotional appeal as it is a personal story connecting you to your topic, you should put: emotional appeal, proof, or pathos after your intro. Do this for logos and credibility as well. Also identify your alternative idea or "flipside" as well by putting "flipside" in parenthesis after that statement as well.

5. Lastly, make sure that you use proper names in your speech when quoting or paraphrasing others. For instance, if you interview your mother in the speech; introduce her as your mother giving her name, then use her name throughout.

You will need to turn in your proposal, outline with works cited page, and rubric. ( I will pass out the rubric in class the day of the speech)

Important note on class..

Both classes will meet this Thursday, April 8th to work on speeches. There will be a substitute in each class. Next Tuesday, there will not be a formal class meeting for the 12:00 or 1:30 section. Please spend this time preparing for your persuasive speeches that will start Thursday, April 15th. We will choose the order and panel assigments in class Tuesday, April 6th.

Thank you.

Also, I will be returning Writing Assignments on Thursday, April 15th.

IMPORTANT NOTICE ON DATES!!!

It was brought to my attention that I scheduled group presentations for finals week. I will give students a choice to consider on Tuesday regarding this. Either I will move up the group speeches to April 27th and 29. Where two groups will present on the 27th and three on the 29th or groups will present during the designated final exam time.

We will also be picking persuasive speech order on Tuesday!!
