Week of March 8-14

Here's what is listed on the Participation and Schedule Pages for this week:

*Read Chapter 7, Supporting Your Ideas
*Read Chapter 8, Organizing and Outlining

Discussion: Answer one in each of your three posts, at least 12 hours apart:

1). Speech Buddy: Review the following Interactive Videos" 7.1, 7.2, 8.1 and 8.2 on the Interactive Video website. Respond to the ideas in the videos. What did you learn that could be helpful in preparing a speech?

2). When do you find facts and statistics most effective in a speech? When are facts and statistics not as effective?

3). Pick one concept from the reading, that has not already been discussed, that you found useful or interesting and discuss it.

Remember to post 3 responses to your colleagues blogs.

Note: I will be staring another series of Speech Tips for the coming speech, so look out for those posts to help you along in the preparation process for the Informative Speech.
