– Develop and communicate effective introduction and conclusion speech components:
Introduction: Provided a creative opening statement “attention getter,” relevance/significance of the speaker’s public speaking impact, a credibility statement (“extensive research”), topic relevance for 1101ers and a preview of main points, which are to be shared to help the audience follow (XXX are three reasons why this should…)
Conclusion: Signaled the ending. Provided a summary of main ideas. Restated a clincher or a “hook” statement that provided psychological unity of how the theme shared in the introduction (particularly the attention getter) related to the ending. Avoided adding nonessential, new main idea information. Shared a verbal “thank you.”
– Demonstrated and communicated effective speech body organization:
Submitted a typed preparation outline according to the guidelines by the due date
Typed, standard margins (12 or 14 size font)
General purpose, specific purpose, central idea
Fully developed original introduction, body, conclusion, transitions
Complete sentences for all main ideas and subpoints
Developed speech for time allotted 5-7 minutes
Designed speech body content to actuate or reinforce beliefs using a developed organizational pattern (topical, chronological, problem/solution); not a “grocery list” of facts or opinions
Provided supporting material (i.e., a collection of examples, facts and stories) adapted to the knowledge, needs and interests of the audience with the intent to persuade and to establish ethos, logos and pathos
Clearly communicated connectives throughout speech—transitions, easy to follow
Utilized one presentation/visual aid that had purpose (not edited into the synchronous delivery, rather displayed while you are presenting). Note: If your presentation/visual aid is small, move it to the camera lens for your audience to see it (continue talking while you are moving) or show in screen mode in Zoom and then transition back so that you can been seen
Fully and verbally shared sources used in preparing speech ideas and supporting material to prevent plagiarism; Remember to summarize scholarly research and avoid patchspeak (copying and pasting quotations and paraphrasing, omitting a few words, and “weaving them together in a manner that is devoid of the student’s original thinking” (Saylor Academy, 2017). When you are orally citing your sources and there are overlapping concepts from multiple sources, it’s fine to state, “The following information came from [state sources]…” Be sure to let us know why some sources are authorities on the subject if it is not obvious (i.e., peer reviewed journal article). You can also share direct quotations, when needed, and specifically state those sources of information when sharing. Reworking another’s speech or buying another’s speech and presenting it as your own are both considered Academic Integrity violations.
Provided a typed works cited list (APA or MLA–your choice!) of a minimum of three credible and/or scholarly sources (i.e., research journals). See See easybib.com if you need assistance listing these properly
