ASSIGNMENTS 1) Introduction of a Classmate (5%) Interview your partner. Collect enough information about past, present and future locals to fill a 1-2 minute speech. Take phone or email for follow-up.
Make sure you know how to pronounce your partner’s name! Don’t tell us what we already know. Take your notes home and arrange them. Practice extemporaneous delivery and time yourself (Remember begging middle and end). In class, you and your partner will both come to the front of the room so that you can introduce each other. 2) Brush with Greatness (5%) A two to three minute presentation where you tells us about a moment in your life when someone or something inspired you, this is your first introduction in using story ailing in your presentation.

This presentation is 2-3 minutes, requires an appropriate visual aid and is extemporaneous, as always. For the first time, you will hand in a written outline, worth 5 points, which should be structured like this: Introduction Today I’ll show you how to . OR Today I’ll tell you about Body PM I First I’ll tell you .
PM II Next I’ll tell you . PM Ill Last I’ll tell you . Conclusion (Think of a power-punch ending that will leave the audience amazed and applauding) 4) Informative Speech* (15%) This is your first presentation that requires research and a full preparation outline, which you will be taught in class (also see textbook chapter on outlining). First, choose a topic from a recent article from The New York Times that will interest and benefit your audience.

Your outline is worth 5 points and delivery 10. 5) Persuasive Speech* (20%) This is your most important presentation. Follow all the directions for the informative speech (above) but make sure you choose a topic that is appropriate for persuasion.
