DIRECTIONS FOR COMPLETION-see below

-> Skim text material on DELIVERY: Chapter 15 {current edition}

-> Consciously observe ANY person on television who is speaking directly to the TV audience (e.g. newscaster, social commentator, political commentator, opening monologues of some talk shows, some commercials)

-> Watch this person communicate for as long as possible [the longer the speaking episode, the better]

-> At this point, ignore such factors as: ►whether you like or dislike the speaker or ► whether you consider the speaker to be doing an effective job or an ineffective job or ► whether you agree/disagree with what the speaker is saying---- For now, just observe what he/she does.

-> Write down at least 4 of your observations about this speaker. Your comments/perceptions can pertain to ANY aspect of the speaker's message content and/or vocal delivery and/or physical delivery. (Again, refer to Chapters listed above.) Try to phrase your comments as neutrally as possible.

-> For class, in addition to emailing your 4 comments to me , be prepared for possible discussion of your observations with the rest of the class (i.e. which SPECIFIC communication techniques you noticed.) So, you may want to bring a "hard copy" of your submission to class with you.
