PURPOSE: The primary objective of this speech is to demonstrate a process/product for the class. The speech should not just be the demonstration but also include information about the subject area that will motivate your audience to try it. You are to share information clearly with your audience so that they receive the information, understand it, and retain it. Your speech must be on the topic chosen for the class.

PROCEDURES:

1. SPEAKER ORDER: I will randomly select students to give their speeches. If you are unprepared or absent, you will not be allowed to make up the speech. You must post your speech to moodle by June 4, 11:00 am est.

2. TIME LIMIT: 5-7 minutes. Your speech must not exceed 7 minutes nor be under 5 minutes or your grade will suffer. Time yourself in rehearsal so that you don’t go over or under time. If you go over time in practice, cut some material; don’t assume you’ll speed up during the actual presentation. If you go under time in practice, find some more material or add extra examples.

3. TOPIC SELECTION: The speech needs to focus on the subject that you are demonstrating and then provide in-depth information about that particular subject.

4. SUPPORTING MATERIALS: Use your own knowledge of the topic first; then find outside published and/or interview sources to back up your points and enhance your credibility as a speaker. You must include a minimum of three outside sources of different types into this speech. Remember, it is imperative that you cite your sources orally during the speech, as well as in the bibliography that you turn in with your outline. The credibility of your sources and how well you integrate them into your speech is vitally important to achieving a good grade on this assignment.

5. AUDIENCE ANALYSIS: Speaking effectiveness is greatly dependent upon how well you analyze your audience and adapt your speech to them. Reflect on your class audience–their demographics and their knowledge of and interest in your topic. The more personal, audience-centered the speech, the better the effect (and the grade).

6. ORGANIZATION & WRITTEN WORK: Structure your ideas and draft an outline, using supporting material for substance. The word processed outline you hand in must conform to the format discussed in class. A bibliography of your sources must be presented. Use either the MLA Style Manual or to the APA Style Manual. Bibliographies that do not appear in either style will not be acceptable.Make sure that all parts of your speech are labeled and that the Panopto link is listed at the bottom.

7. DELIVERY: This is NOT a manuscript speech; thus, you should not read your speech. Your notes should contain a brief outline of the speech or key words to cue your memory.
