1. For this current event speech, you may work by yourself or pair up with another person.
2. Find a current event article online.
3. Write a response to the article (clarification, positive, negative, whatever, ...).
4.You will read the article. (It should be a minimum of one minute long and no longer than four minutes.) (The main focus here is that you have read and practiced the article enough that you do not stumble over the words.)
5. You will read the response. (There is a 30-second minimum and a two-minute maximum.) (The main focus here is that you have put together a coherent thought about the article.)
6. If you are working as a pair, each of you must read one of the two parts. If you are working by yourself, you obviously must read both parts.
7. If you are working as a pair, you will share the same grade as your partner.
8. You will have Thursday, August 31, to work on it in class.
9. The speeches are due and will be presented on Friday, September 1.
10. This is for two daily grades. I will add points up and divide the total by two to get your grades.
11. The scoring will be as follows:
25 points-- reading the article (all or nothing)
0-25 points-- adequate voice on article
0-25 points-- apparent practice on article
5 points-- article within time limits
25 points-- reading the response (all or nothing)
0-25 points-- adequate voice on response
0-25 points-- apparent practice on response
5 points-- response within time limits
0-40 points-- coherent, proper response
As you may see from above, you need to focus on voice, pronunciation, and creating a proper response. I am not deducting points for things such as eye contact and posture on this speech.
You may use visual aids if you wish, but it is not required, and it will not be a part of the grade. It will be only a part of making your response more coherent.
AS ALWAYS, KEEP THINGS APPROPRIATE.
