Demonstration Speech Wrap-Up and Reminders

Hello Fabulous Folks,

Great job on your speeches overall last night.  Please do not be dismayed if you earned less than you had hoped - this was the first major speaking assignment and it was worth 10% of your grade.  That means that if you earned a 85/100 (or a B), you only missed 15 points out of a class total of 1,000.  This is great news because you can vastly improve your grade by doing just a few small things, which I noted on the grading sheet I handed out to you last night.

Here are some reminders from our meeting last night:
1). Informative Speech Topics have already been chosen (if you missed class, you'll need to email me immediately with your informative speech topic).

2). The informative speech will be a 4min 30sec - 5min 30sec speech.  The assignment sheet notes a 5-6 minute speech, but we have shortened that time to allow for all students to present in a timely manner.

3). A powerpoint presentation is required for the Informative Speech.  The powerpoint presentation is due NO LATER than Monday, October 22nd @ 11:59pm.  This means that you should email me your powerpoint presentation prior to this date/time.  As a reminder, you should include no more than 8 slides.

4). Self-Evaluation #1 is due by Sunday, September 30th @ 11:59pm.  You should post your self-evaluation to your blog, and it should be in essay format.  Follow the assignment sheet I handed out last night.

Let me know if any questions arise.
:)
