Speech Tip#6
Here is the email I just sent out:
Your first outline is due tomorrow morning by 10am. Before you submit your outline, check the "Speech Tips" posts on my blog to make sure you are well informed.
Please follow the instructions below for submitting your outlines:
1). Save your outline in .rtf format. When you click "save as", look at the bottom where it says "save as type" and select (Rich Text Format *.rtf).
2). Title your outline like this: Perez_Outline1 (if you have saved it correctly, the .rtf should automatically appear).
3). Send me an email and attach the file to your email.
4). Make sure you submit the outline by tomorrow at 10am - NO LATER!!! You must submit an outline if you would like to present a speech next Friday.
5). Take note, our class meeting will be held on Friday, February 27th at 12:00pm in HGH225.
6). During our meeting we will introduce ourselves briefly and get down to business. We will present our speeches, then we will work on our Informative Speeches. You will work in groups with each other while I meet with each of you individually. Once we are done with the individual meetings, our class meeting will adjourn. You must stay the entire time in class to earn credit for the class meeting.
7). This may seem a bit premature, but you will need to bring research for your second speech to class with you on February 27th. In other words, start researching your Informative Speech, and bring at least 3 resources with you on Friday, February 27th.
Please plan ahead when submitting your outlines. Remember, your outline must be submitted by the deadline, or it will be considered late.
Look out for more speech tips over the weekend and throughout next week. I will be shifting the subject of the "Speech Tips" posts to the actual presentation, so pay close attention to those posts.
Let me know if you have any questions.
:)

Speech Tip#5
This post will be invaluable to you while you are preparing your speech. Please look over Chapter 3, which is on Informative Speeches. The first speech, Cultural Artifact Speech, is indeed an Informative Speech.
Please watch the Speech Buddy Videos 13.1A, 13.1B and Headhunters as well as the videos I have listed throughout this post.
I will use the Headhunters Video (under Chapter 13) to show an example of what should go into your speech.
Introduction of the Speech (Watch Video 9.1)
1). At the start of the speech, the first thing that Curt said was his Attention Getting Material (Watch Video 9.1)
2). He then gives Credibility - he mentions his research, a class he took related to his topic, his interest in this topic and why he is talking about the topic (purpose).
3). He Previewed the Main Points of the speech, which were: (Review video 8.1)
*Headhunting Rituals
*Restrictions of the Ritual
*Why they decided to end the practice
Body of the Speech
1). Curt transitioned into the body of his speech by starting again by mentioning his first main point.
2). He transitioned clearly from idea to idea. Watch video 8.2 for an example.
3). He mentioned his research (or source citations) in his speech. Watch video 6.1
4). Notice his integration of visual aids throughout his speech.
5). Notice his body language and eye contact. He focuses directly on his audience and not his notes. He DOES refer to his notes, but he knows his speech well enough to speak directly to his audience.
6). He included quite a few facts throughout his speech and cited his sources.
Conclusion of the Speech (Watch video 9.2)
1). Curt clearly reviewed the main points of the speech.
2). He reinforced the purpose of his speech.
3). Curt provided closure at the end of the speech.
All of these things should be included in your speech. You have a unique advantage over most other public speaking classes. Please review all of the videos I have mentioned here, as they are clear examples and explanations of what your speech should include and ultimately look like. They shouldn't take too long to review, and will help your grade quite a bit for the coming speech.
If you need with your outline, as I mentioned in a previous post, please use the Outline Worksheet as a starting point. Fill it out, then use the Coffee Speech as an example of what the outline should look like in its final format.
Additionally, you should transfer your speech to 4x6 notecards (no 3x5 notecards or 8x11 pages will be accepted for your speech presentation). DO NOT write out your full outline on your notecards. If you will notice Curt's delivery, he was NOT looking at his notecards during his speech, rather referring to them from time to time, but focusing on his audeince quite a bit. Your eye contact with the audeince should be about 90% of your total speaking time. If you write out your speech on your notecards, you will be tempted to read them.
Use Curt's speech as a decent, but not perfect, example of what your speech should look like.

Speech Tip#3
In addition to full sentences throughout the outline, please make sure your introduction and conclusion are fully developed. This means that the introduction and conclusion should be full paragraphs with the specific items requested labeled in bold and in parenthesis. See the Coffee Speech for an example. Please note though, that the Coffee Speech is missing some things. Make sure to follow what is required on the Outline Worksheet.
As always, please email me if you have any questions. :)

Speech Tip#2
Now that you all have chosen your speech topics, it's time to get down to business. Here's what you should do next:
1). Research your topic. Make sure to vary your sources. You must have at least 4 sources and they must be varied. This means that you may not use 4 internet sources. You may use two at the most, but must have books, magazine articles, peer reviewed journal articles, etc....
2). After researching, choose your main points. You should have about 3 main ideas you want to cover. Make sure your main points all relate to the topic itself, but are separate from one another so they do not blur together. You can read about main points in Chapter 8.
3). Go to the Handouts Page and look at the Outline Worksheet. You must include everything on that outline worksheet in your outline. But take note, the Outline Worksheet is merely a tool. You can look at an outline example, also listed on the Handouts Page, to make sure your outline looks appropriate.
4). Make sure that your finished outline has only full sentences. No fragment sentences, no bullet points, no partial sentence. You must also have proper punctuation.
I am always here to answer questions for you in case you need help. I am more than willing to look over an outline ahead of time and give you advice. Start preparing early!!! You must turn in an outline in order to present a speech.

Speech Tip#1
I have been enjoying your first round of posts - keep it up. You will notice a bit later on this week that I will start commenting on your posts. You can comment back on your blog if you'd like by also leaving a "comment", but you are still responsible for 3 posts to your personal blog answering questions, and 3 comments on different blogs during any given discussion week (1 comment on 3 different blogs).
I have been received a few questions about the Interactive Video Website/Speech Buddy Website. This is a tool that comes with your book. Connected to your shrink wrapped book, there should have been a card or a piece of paper that has a code. You will follow the directions of that piece of paper to sign up for the Speech Buddy Website (also called Interactive Videos). Once you do that you can log in and watch the videos required for the discussion weeks.
Speech Tip #1
Now is the time you should be reading over all of the assignments in the course. By Friday, February 6th @ 10am, you should email me your topics for all of your speeches. I will respond with a confirmation email.
Of course as you know, the first step of writing a speech, or an essay for that matter, is to pick a topic. You should then start researching your topic immediately. Most students taking Public Speaking, online or otherwise, tend to think that speech writing is something they can do in a few hours. What most will find is that it takes quite a bit longer than that. I will set intermediate deadlines - the first being THIS FRIDAY with your speech topic. Next week will be completing research and sending me your three main points for your speech.
For each speech I will write a series of "Speech Tips" and post them. Please make sure you pay close attention to these speech tips, as they will help you quite a bit.
Chapter Notes
In the middle of every week that we have a reading assignment, I will post Chapter notes to the "Handouts Page". Please go to that page and download the notes. Of course these notes are not a replacement for reading the chapters, they should be used in conjunction with each chapter you are reading. If you rely on the notes alone, there will be quite a bit of pertinent information you will miss in the chapters. The information you read in the chapters will help in your success in this course.
