Week of March 29 - April 4

Welcome back from Spring Break! I hope you had a wonderful week off.

Here is what's on the Schedule and Participation Pages for this week, along with some reminders. Please read the post in its entirety:

1). Our meeting is on Friday, April 3rd at 12pm in HGH225. Again, please try to make it to campus early so we can get started right away.

2). There is NO discussion this week. However, during this week you should practice your speech at least 7 times. One or two of those practice sessions should be in front of someone who could give you feedback about your speech.

3). Please bring ALL research to class for your Actuative Speech. We will have individual meetings once again after all of the speeches are complete. Be sure to bring at least 4 sources with you. We will be talking about the Actuative Speech, and of course I will be asking for your main points. The next speech requires a certain Organizational Pattern, so please review the assignment sheet.

4). It may be helpful to bring your books to class on Friday so you can work directly with your text on the Actuative Speech in class.

5). VISUAL AIDS for the Informative Speech are due by Wednesday at midnight. I will be away from my computer starting early Thursday morning and will not be able to download any powerpoint presentations after Wednesday night. (It is HIGHLY suggested that you put together a powerpoint presentation for this speech).

6). My office hours on Thursday of this week will be held in person in my office on the SJSU campus. I will give more details a bit later this week about office hours, but in case you need some last minute help with your speeches, I will be on campus this week.
