Group Speech notes 4/12

Couple things to consider...

1. I will be looking for formats of speeches on Tuesday, April 19..I will be spot checking these. Make sure you have started. You should be out of brainstorm phase and into presentation format stage.

2. You will need to turn in a group outline for the speech. This should list your speech order and who will be presenting each area in parenthesis.THERE IS NO PAPER WITH THIS ASSIGNMENT, JUST YOUR FINAL EXAM PAPER. I WILL INTRODUCE THIS TUESDAY, APRIL 19 IN CLASS!!!!!!!!!

3. Each person must present and research equally. I do not care how you divide it as long as there is evidence of both. If you want one person to just intro and conclude, make sure they are researching and providing ample info on both, background info- reasons for picking this commercial, attention getter, preview, thesis, intro and screening commercial etc.

4. Make sure to cite sources on ppt. You must have book and commercial, any other texts you use must be cite, but are not required.

5. If you are running short on time, you can use more than one commercial and maybe do some compare and contrast. Let me know if you need help here.

6. Make sure your ppt is keywords, no paragraphs!!
