Week of October 15-21

Hello Folks!

Here is what is listed on the Participation Page from BB for this week. The schedule for the entire semester, and the discussion questions for the entire semester are listed on the Schedule and Participation Pages, respectively. In case you do not want to wait for the "Monday Post", you are more than welcome to get started by looking at those two pages on BB.

Due this week:
*Read Chapter 11 - Integrating Presentational Media
*Watch all Chapter 11 Speech Buddy Videos
*Participate in the discussion (see questions below)

*Powerpoint presentation due by Monday, October 22nd @ 11:59pm (8 slides maximum).  Please submit your powerpoint presentation through email to my gmail account.
*Mandatory Meeting reminder:  We will present out Informative Speeches on October 25th beginning promptly at 6:30pm.  Please arrive on time to our meeting. 
 


Discussion Questions:
Answer one question in its entirety in each of your three separate posts, at least 12 hours apart. Please make sure you are creating a NEW POST for each question on your blog. You MUST WAIT at least 12 hours from the first post in order to create a second post. The same is true for the second and third post. I will record dates and time of your posts, so make sure they are at least 12 hours apart. EACH POST MUST BE 150 WORDS OR MORE. Each post is worth a maximum of 5 points.

1). With digital visual and audio files, it's easy to alter an original photograph, video, song, or taped conversation.  What are a speaker's ethical responsibilities when developing presentation media for a speech?

2). Reflect on a public speaking event you've attended recently, or one that you recall particularly well, in which the speaker used presentation media.  How effective was the speaker's use of presentation media?  How did the media add to the speech?  Were there ways in which the presentation media detracted from the speech?  How might the speaker have improved his or her use of presentation media?

3). Pick one concept from the reading or videos, this week, and discuss it in detail.

Comments - Remember to post ONE comment ON THREE DIFFERENT BLOGS between 12:01am on Monday and 11:59pm on Sunday. This means that you will log onto MY BLOG at: http://sierracomm001.blogspot.com/  to see a list of your colleagues blogs. Click on those blogs, read what was posted for this week and respond. You need to make sure you are responding to only what was discussed THIS WEEK (starting Monday and ending Sunday of the current week). Comments posted to blogs that were NOT within this week will not be counted for points. Each comment must be a minimum of 100 words and is worth a maximum of 3 points.

Note about comments: When you leave a comment on another blog, make sure you are logged into your blogspot account. In other words, you will need to make sure your "Display Name/Alias Name" shows up on the blog you are commenting on. I record the locations, dates and times of your comments. Please keep record of your posts and comments in case questions arise about where comments are located.
