Culture Speech Reminders

Hello Class,

As you know, this week we will meet to present our Culture Speeches.  Per the assignment sheet, you should prepare a 2-3 minute speech based on what we discussed during our first face-to-face class session.  Here are somethings to keep in mind for the coming speech:

1). The speech should end within 2-3 minutes.
2). The Culture Speech Planner (outline) should be typed.  I do not accept handwritten work.
3). You should follow the Planner (or outline) closely as I mentioned in class.  This means that you should have a full paragraph introduction, 1 sentence for main point #1, 1 sentence for main point #2, 1 sentence for main point #3, and a full paragraph conclusion.
4). You should utilize the concepts Attention Getter and Effective Closing (or effective last sentence).
5). 1 (one) notecard may be used.  No more than one (1) notecard.
6). A visual aid must be brought into class to enhance one of your speech points. (Please do not wear a visual aid).
7). Practice your speech at least 7 times before you come to class.  Get feedback from another person if possible.


As a reminder, you should have already reviewed the Demonstration Speech assignment.  Please bring at least 3 ideas for your Demonstration Speech, as I do not allow repetitive topics. 

See you all soon,
