Description:
Write, research, organize and visually supplement two speeches, one a motivational persuade and the other an ideological persuade. Develop appropriate cognitive and/or affective appeals for each presentation. Choose one to present to the class and the other to present to an audience outside of class.
Document the performance of your other persuasive presentation through distribution, collection and assessment of your own speech rubric by summarizing the results and emailing them to me.
These will be your “hip pocket” speeches, presentations you will eventually be able to give spontaneously with or without visual integration.
