Good Speech Assignment

I will also give you a copy of the rubric:

2. Show the clip
3. Conclude with a description of how the speech had an impact on subsequent scenes in the film. Explain how and why the clip you shared was powerful in the film.
4. Explain the speech techniques that were used (make sure to include pathos, logos, and eros).

Perhaps ask them about their hobbies, family, favorite foods, what they do on campus, what they do when they are not at work, etc. Make sure the questions are POLITE, PERSONAL (but not invading privacy), and OPEN-ENDED so that the responses must be sentences, not one word answers! Make sure the questions show that you have a genuine interest in getting to know another member of the Saints Community!
