LIST OF CURRENTLY RESERVED TOPICS

SUBMISSIONS: Preliminary [including PPSP]  /  Final [including 2 changes for this presentation only]

 

 

PRESENTATION DATES: _4/28/10 , 5/3/10 , 5/5/10__In the next week or so, each person will receive a specific presentation date. Volunteering is strongly encouraged. You can include a preferred date when you email your topic.  
 

 

LENGTH OF PRESENTATION:   TA = 6 to 8 minutes- TOTAL!  [to be used strategically"] [you will be stopped if you go overtime.]                     |   LS = only 6 to 8 minutes|  XB= 7 to 9 minutes

*HINT:   You should not use this extra time to: 
 <1> squeeze in more points                or
<2> tackle topic that is too broad        or
<3> slowly set up your visual/presentation aids     or
<4> present a topic from an informative &/or speaker-centered perspective       

The extra time should be used for employing well rounded & strategically structured persuasive principles  (from your notes, chapter 17 & the online slide shows/tutorials)-- which means you'll need to use a variety of communication techniques and supporting materials to reinforce the 3-5 supporting points of your persuasive argument. (a.k.a.. supporting  your thesis statement-- which is called your "proposition" in Persuasive speaking--with evidence and reasoning)
 

 

vTOPICS: As always, specific topics are up to the individual, but you should make an effort to satisfy both the audience's needs as well as the enthusiasm of the speaker. It is recommended that your topic be currently relevant.

  A topics sign -up sheet MIGHT be circulated in class for you to reserve your desired topic, but it's faster if you just email your desired topic to me a.s.a.p. Topics are first-come-first-served. Some topics are on the "inappropriate-for-this-context list" and will not be usable.  
  

REQUIREMENTS OF PRESENTATION:

 1. All presentations should demonstrate your comprehension of the following course concepts:

 

  2.  Outlining & speech structure will be major factors of consideration and grading. 
 

 3. The presentation delivery must be EXTEMPORANEOUS. Points will be deducted if you deliver from a word-for-word manuscript
             HINT:  This also means that your preparation needs to be extemporaneous, as well.  Remember, an extemporaneous speech is NOT simply an essay being said out loud.
 
 

  4. All presentations must be Persuasive & should indicate an understanding and mastery of the elements/principles of persuasion.  [You will definitely need to make use of class notes, the text  [esp. Chap 17(12e)] ,  the online slide show and appropriate outside reading] 
 
 
 5. Visual aids are strongly recommended (as long as they don't disrupt timing). In fact, some of you still may need to fulfill your Presentation Graphics requirement.
                HINT:  When they are well integrated into the oral message, visual/audio presentation aids greatly assist the ETHOS & PATHOS components of persuasion .

 

 6. Use your text's Persuasive Speech Evaluation Checklist  [Fig. 17.4: P.464] (12e)  [Fig. 18.4: P.483(11e)]  in order to evaluate yourself as you practice your presentation.
  



TWO(2) SUBMISSIONS FOR THIS PRESENTATION:

 I.  Preliminary submission:  For this presentation, you are required to submit a Preliminary Persuasive Speech Plan  (aka "Adaptation Plan" - [see p. 465 [12e] in your text.) Using your chosen persuasive  topic, complete item #4 [all 5 bullets]  within the "Speech Assignment: Communicate on Your Feet"  section at the top of the page. ]
NOTE: THIS IS NOT YOUR USUAL OUTLINING ASSIGNMENT! Follow the directions carefully & please note that this assignment differs from anything you have done before. This "PPSP" should be posted to me via e-mail A.S.A.P - preferably by Mon 4/19, but absolutely no later than: Mon  4/26- 4:00 pm.  

II. Final submission:  Note these changes in our standard operating procedure for submitting the final, hardcopy version of your presentation outline---

____Change #1:____

> This time you will be submitting a typed, hardcopy, packet for your final Persuasive Speech outline

  -- containing these  3  components:

  1)  The usual extemporaneous outline, with all its parts & using correct outline format  {note: Don't rely on your word processing program to give you the correct outline format}
        
  2) plus the Bibliography (at least 3 sources). Use standard bibliography format. ( APA or MLA) see below***

 

   3) plus  the"Page 2" -- This is an extra page with 1-2 paragraphs in which you  specifically explain your use of the elements & techniques of persuasion. This  explanation should also discuss how you used them and why you selected  the Chapter 17 elements that you did. [i.e. I want to know which  persuasive strategies  you have employed & why]  

 

____Change #2:_____

 > At least one session before your presentation date,

you must submit this hardcopy, 3-part, final, speech outline packet . However, this one-session-in-advance-requirement

 is waived for those people

who are scheduled to speak on the first day.
 
 

*** REMINDER: Several people lost points this semester by over overlooking this detail:  Internet source citations must list at the very least, the [1] URL,[2] the Title of the particular Webpage you used, [3] the Date that you accessed the page & [4] (If available) the last date that the page itself was updated. It also would be wise to refer to the guidelines in the Department of Communication's Policy on Academic Honesty .

 

              

 NOTE:  You always have the option of scheduling an appointment with your instructor in order to go over your topic & outline in person---or you can  e-mail me with your  questions.
