Today's Tasks

Opener: What is your biggest fear about public speaking? (Respond with a 1x5.)

1- Introduction to Public Speaking: Do's , Don't's, and Oh No's.

Watch this video. (Phil Davison)

Discussion: What is your reaction to this speech?  What do you think may have been the audience's reaction?

Now, take a look at this video.



 
















Ok.  Now that we know what not to do, let's check out what we should do.


Watch the Dalton Shermon video.  Always a crowd pleaser.

2- Together, let's generate a rubric that we can use to assess public speaking situations.  The first type of rubric will be the basics for a one person argumentative speech. 

Step One: What are the qualities/ elements of public speaking that should be assessed?

Step Two: After we narrow down this list, create a description of each element.

Step Three: Prioritize elements; assign point value.

Print copy of the draft rubric; distribute to each student.

3- Persuasive vs. Argumentative Writing: You are the Variable! Activity
Each card has a product/topic for that you will provide a persuasive slogan and an argumentative slogan.  Which product slogan are we most likely to accept and 'buy'?

4- Primary/ Secondary Sources
Quick Review

Homework: Detailed outline, support (citation page), and workable draft for argumentative speech.  Use Google Docs for this assignment.  Bring a hard copy.
