2015 Speech Class DAY 1 Monday 1-5-15
Today we will listen to introductory speeches based on the family object you brought in from home.
We will also be given a speech book to read and take good care of for the month of January.
We will have 1 hour to research in the library. Almost every day we will have library research time. The library time is scheduled so that you can do research, better learn MLA format, and collaborate with peers. It is a time to get work done so you have less to do at home!
Each day come to class ready to present, ready to listen, and ready to enjoy your peers' company! We will learn speech techniques and learn about a variety of topics!
LIBRARY TIME:
Today we will spend an hour in the library. During that hour we will use the library resources to find articles about COURAGEOUS PEOPLE.
THE GOAL: learn to discern between SCHOLARLY research and simple searches that are not adequate for academic work.
THE END RESULT: You will define courage based on the dictionary definition and well as your interpretation of the term. You will find THREE articles about the person on ProQuest, CQ Researcher, or a scholarly website (a .edu or .gov). You will active read the articles to find out what information the articles have in common and what they teach you about the person. Remember each author has his or her own "angle". You will prepare a 5 minute speech to share your knowledge with your peers. Due...Wednesday 1-7-15.
Written Requirement: You will write a well-written paragraph in MLA format explaining reasons why this person is courageous. You will include a Works Cited Page in MLA format (see Purdue's OWL for assistance).
