{ see presentation schedule for your assigned date} * Presentation Schedule

PRESENTATION RATIONALE:

This is a multipurpose presentation. In addition to the videorecording & virtual factors, 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 focus some of you drifted into 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 in the first half of your talk -- 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)

	►► For the live/real time virtual presentations (Take #2), 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: [ 2 [assets] + 2 [ NFIs] AND...
	> at least one potential analytical listening-type question for the speaker as if we were conducting a full Q & A (either to challenge-a-premise or to request-clarification-on-a-point) [i.e. 4 comments + 1 question] > Since these are being delivered virtually, evaluators should email the 4+1 items directly to the speaker & cc the Professor

PRESENTATION PREPARATION STEPS:

1. In terms of topic, this will be the most abstract presentation done so far; therefore it is recommended that you strive to make your supporting materials as concrete as possible.

--In general, the basic topic of everyone's presentations will be: "My own experiences with Leadership AS COMPARED TO contemporary or classic Leadership principles" . In other words, your speech's basic goal (purpose) is to compare/contrast 2 different perspectives on the established leadership principle of your choice. Your general speech purpose can be: " to inform", "to inspire", --but it should NOT be overtly persuasive. or "to express an opinion"

---As you know from your English composition studies, Comparison/Contrast is an organizational style that highlights the similarities and the differences between 2 items. (also review the chapter on Informative Speaking).

2. Prepare a "short" [2-3 min] extemporaneous speech on a leadership concept/principle that interests you & that can be considered from at least 2 credible perspectives: the experiential perspective (i.e. using your experience) and the theoretical perspective (i.e. using your researched information).

ADDED SPECIFICATION FOR THIS SEMESTEr: The first part of the presentation should adhere to principles of INFORMATIVE speaking. (Chapter 16) . In other words, at the beginning, there should be no advocacy , no subjectivity , no bias & no persuasion. Objectively present the comparison/contrast before inserting any point-of-view or argumentation. .

3. Find your accompanying written excerpt(s) from essays, articles, or literature selections [a random list of possible sources is listed at the end of this document]. You are looking for a piece of writing that represents at least one of the 2 perspectives being discussed, and therefore, will complement your overall message. Insert the excerpt(s) meaningfully and strategically-- somewhere within your prepared, extemporaneous speech. Remember the manuscript segment needs to be a "chunk" --not just a sentence here or there.

4. Visual/presentation aids are optional for this presentation. Use them for enhancement, not out-of-habit. And don't use "computer graphics" ( Powerpoint, etc.) unless that really is the most strategic choice for your plans.

5. Ultimately, the entire presentation should be well coordinated, interesting and last 4-5 minutes --TOTAL. Any set-up of presentation aids should take no longer than 30 seconds.

{NOTE: I will not be giving time signals during this presentation, but, as always, timing will be factored into the presentation's grade.
You may want to ask a classmate to give you time signals. For vitual presetations, this can be done with a direct message via the Chat function. }

SPECIFIC CRITERIA FOR PRESENTATION GRADING: Rubrics/will be based on...
<a> your skill with these two methods of delivery: extemporaneous + manuscript

<b> the logical development of the BODY portion of your message [i.e. you are clearly using a specific order-of-organization / refer to "Word(ing) Main Points: pp. 247-253{15ed} / p. 284-288 - 14ed

<c> the smooth coordination of the various vocal & physical elements of your presentation.

<d> the assignment's specifications: e.g. *whether outline is handed in on time /*whether the bibliography [not just a "works cited" list] uses correct format / * whether the presentation timing is within the specified time slot /* whether there is evidence of speaker's improvement in communication competence

PRESENTATION SUBMISSIONS:

[1] Take_2: a correct, complete outline [including the Intro w/Th.Stmt. / Body / Conc] {"HARDCOPY"{electronic copy} - as always, ready to submit BEFORE you give your presentation} {Submission location = email

[2] *Take_2: a bibliography [at least 1-2 sources]

{"HARDCOPY"{electronic copy} - as always, ready to submit BEFORE you give your presentation} [Follow a standard stylesheet (APA or MLA ) for formatting]. Look it up! Do not rely on your word processor!

---------------> b. This time, submitting a Preliminary (Take 1) speech outline is OPTIONAL for section LS. I recommend you consult your Organization "Buddy" & also take note of the feedback you received on the Informative speech. However, if you would like me to take a look at it, email it to me no later than 11/3/21. I will try to respond before your scheduled presentation date!! No guarantees, though

AS OF 10/26/21, THIS ITEM IS NOT APPLICABLE FOR THIS SEMESTER: 3] a follow-up video critique sheet [click to see the critique format . Copy & paste to create the document for your e-mail submission] OPTIONAL IF YOU ALREADY COMPLETED THE INFORMATIVE SELF CRITIQUE {This is an expanded "Personal Post Mortem" in which you will evaluate the audible & organizational & visible aspects of your presentation. As you view yourself, pay particular attention to the presence [or absence of] "RAPPORT"}

--------------> a. This VidCrit is due -- via email -- within one week of your presentation. optional for a few / Mandatory for most

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 - take 2. 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 NOW if you would need a particular date or a particular slot.

self-recorded into or uploaded

Due Dates:

Submission of the oral presentation video into Bongo is due no later than Friday 10/2/20-11:59pm

Submission of the one paragraph peer review in Bongo is due no later than Sunday 10/4/20-11:59pm

This videotaping will take place in your usual classroom-- using a computer with a rear facing camera. Stay tuned for details. Have your audio recording device with you-- just in case.

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.
