2. Assign Gripe speeches
GRIPE SPEECH
ASSIGNMENT: All of us have pet peeves or issues that drive us crazy. These are easy for us to complain about to others. You will choose a pet peeve or issue that is driving you crazy.
First, present your difficult situation. Your gripe may be serious or tongue-in-cheek, but be creative. For example, don’t just talk about bad drivers; describe the scenario in detail.
Be sure not to attack individuals personally. Also, do not attack religious or cultural groups, because individuals in those groups will take it personally. The point of this is not to make someone feel bad. However, politicians and celebrities are ok; just do not get nasty.
Second, present your ideal solution to the problem. No use in complaining if you don’t have any solutions in mind. Your solution may be either viable or impossible to implement. Violence is not an acceptable solution.
Your speech should be approximately 2 minutes long. It can be as short as 1 ½ minutes or as long as 3 minutes without penalty.
DUE DATE: Monday, February 9, 2015
GRADE: This will count as two daily grades.
