SPCH 1 F2012

Hi students, Welcome to fall quarter!! The first week we will get
you started with student introductions and the demonstration speech
assignment. I'm looking forward to getting to know you. I want you to
begin thinking about your demonstration speech assignment.  Students
generally are quite creative and have a lot of fun with this
assignment. I've had demo speeches on how to put on a sari, combat
marshal arts, hula and other cultural dances, how to make an espresso
drink, skydiving, every sport imaginable, mud wrestling and one of the
Lost Boys of Sudan gave a speech on how to catch a lion!! See if you
can come up with a topic that tells us something about your hobbies or
personal interests. We will work on the demonstration speeches during
week one and two in class and students will begin demonstration
speeches the third week of the quarter.You will find assignment
specifics in the Demonstration Speech Assignment below.  Print out the
demonstration speech assignment and review questions and bring these to
class with you.  We will talk about review questions in week one
because I want you to answer these as you read through the text. Be
sure to purchase your texts and begin reading week 1 assignments listed
in the greensheet. Have a great first week! 

Some assignments
must be downloaded from this web site and printed. Please download and
print these materials at the beginning of each week they are listed.
Contact me immediately if technical problems interfere with this.

Here's what we will review in class this week. Please come prepared with your text.
Jigsaw Review Questions

You will work in teams to work through the following  sets of question(s).
Begin by selecting roles (facilitator, recorder, encourager,
summarizer). Use your text as a resource and also tap into the
collective knowledge of your group members. Relate each question to
your informative speech. You will present your responses informally to
the class (all team members should take part in the presentation). Your goal is to 
give us information that will help us to prepare exceptional informative speeches. 
Each team will prepare and present three questions for the quiz (T/F or MC). 

Ch. 6,7 How can you relate your topic
to the interests of your audience (give example(s) based on your own
informative speech topics)? Why is audience analysis important? What do
Beebe and Beebe mean when they say it is important to become an
audience centered speaker? What would an audience centered speech look
like? What demographics should you consider? Give specific examples of
how you will make your informative speeches audience centered.

Ch. 8,11  Describe and give examples of the various organizational patterns
based on your own informative speech topics.

Ch.10  Describe the various types of supporting materials. What are most memorable and why?  Give specific
examples of how you will use supporting materials in your informative
speeches. Share at least one story you will use.

Ch. 12  How will you captivate your audience attention in your introduction?
 What are some of the most interesting ways to captivate an audience's attention?  Don't forget to
personalize your speech and include a thesis and preview. 

Ch. 13 What are the purposes of conclusions? Identify and explain effective ways to conclude a
speech. Give examples based on what you will do with your informative
speeches.

Ch. 11 Why are signposts important? Give examples
of how to use various types of signposts, transitions, previews,
summaries based on your own informative speech topics.

Just a reminder--your attendance and participation do factor
into your final grade.
