PRESENTATION RATIONALE:
This is a multipurpose presentation. In addition to the videorecording factor, the objectives include:
<1> to combine both the extemporaneous and manuscript methods of speech delivery
<2>
to provide an
opportunity for you to use the Comparison/Contrast approach of order of organization.
<3> to research, & consider leadership from real-life as well as scholarly perspectives
<4> to apply &/or react to material you have been encountering in your leadership program's classes & activities
<5> to allow additional listening practice: especially analytical & appreciative
****<6> notation applicable for current semester: Although most of you began your Informative Speeches with an appropriately objective tone, some of you drifted have mentioned it's still difficult to avoid subjectivity & even some explicit persuasion at some point. For this Combo presentation, we will continue to practice the skills of "informative communication". (i.e. demonstrating an ability to remain objective & neutral while reporting/explaining/enlightening one's listeners-- even when using personal reference as supporting material.)

PRESENTATION FORMAT & SPECIFICATIONS:
It's a Combination! | |
►The major portion of your presentation will be Extemporaneous (approx 2-3 minutes) (delivered from notecards) | |
►The other part will consist of reading a Manuscript-style excerpt (and/or block quote) that coordinates with your presentation's goal and topic. (approx 30 sec-1 minute) | |
►►IN MOST SEMESTERS: Evaluators will not be given a specific rating sheet this time. Instead, on a separate sheet of paper, they will write down: | |
> their own comments (at least 4) AND... | |
> at least one
potential question for the speaker
as if we had time for Q & A (either to challenge-a-premise or to request-clarification-on-a-point) [i.e. 4 comments + 1 question] > if being delivered virtually, evluators should email the 4+1 items directly to the speaker & cc the Professor |

VIDEOTAPING
is planned for this presentation. This will help you get a clearer
idea of the
visible aspects of your delivery style. Due to these special time
constraints of recording & replaying, for this time
only, instead of the usual volunteer method,
be prepared to give your presentations in the
order
indicated on the
Presentation Schedule
.
However,
adjustments might be made in order to
have projector users go adjacent to each other. This
schedule is always finalized extra early because these Combo
presentations will overlap with the groups' meeting & planning times. Let me
know if you would need a particular date or a particular slot.
SPECIAL NOTE: During these 3 class sessions, the class will actually split up. First, all students will report to the designated classroom to "sign in", but only that day's speakers will remain in the classroom. The rest of the class members will then go elsewhere {anywhere, your choice} to work in their groups to plan for the upcoming Group Presentation ). As usual, attendance counts on all days, so be sure to be included on the Attendance sheet. |
