You are about to begin a class that will have a huge impact on the rest of your life-public speaking! The aim of the introductory class is to give you the tools needed to become a competent public speaker and make future public speaking easier. The communication skills of organization, critical thinking, and critical listening will enhance your speaking effectiveness. These skills will help you in college, at work, and even in your personal life. When these are learned and practiced, you will even have more self-confidence! Required, careful practice of these skills before due dates will increase your chances for success.
TEXT/SUPPLIES STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES: By the end of this course, students should be able to
1. Recognize how to prepare effective speeches of various types.
2. Deliver effective speeches of various types before an audience
3. Illustrate how to develop a topic outline. 4. Illustrate how to develop sentence outlines.
5. Deliver speeches to inform and persuade successfully integrating visual aids effectively.
Course Requirements
TESTS Two chapter tests (multiple choice and a few short answers) plus a comprehensive multiple choice final, 75 points each. Only your 2 highest scores will be counted. Exams are on readings, lectures, discussions, speech examples, videos, PowerPoint (if available), and the text. (150 points possible)
SPEECHES – General Information: Jim Carey-unless your speech is about these topics). Use printed or Internet sources, but some of each.
(Many printed sources now on the Internet may count as printed if MLA speech directions are followed.
Student Introduction - Ice Btreaker Interview a classmate, asking questions given, then present a 1.5-2 minute speech (NO MORE), introducing a person to us. Emphasis is on following directions, volume, and some eye contact. (40 points: oral 32, notes 8)
New Invention Speech Research and present a 4-5 minute speech on a NEW invention. Find an interesting new discovery and make it interesting to us. Library reference areas have many recent sources, so ask for assistance if needed. Librarians love to help. Magazines like Science and Discover will help, and be sure to see the library’s website handout if your library has one. Ask! Medical and technology topics work well. Nothing like “The Automobile”, but a new type of car not yet on the market could work. You will explain the new invention’s development, its applications now, and how it may affect society (life) in the future. Two sources MUST be cited in the outline body, and use MLA-style listing on separate page for Works Cited (diff. order). (75 points: 60 oral, 15 outline)
"YOUR CHOICE" Speech You get to choose the type of 6-7 minute speech! You may choose an informative, a commemorative, or a speech to entertain. Sources and a visual aid are required in the outline body. (85 points: 68 oral, 17 outline)
Informative Speech
Present in-depth, new information about almost anything we don’t already know, getting topic approval. No discoveries this time! Cite 5 recent sources in the speech body. Cultures, geography (Grand Canyon), the space station, and many other topics could work. OR
Commemorative Speech
Research a person (dead) or an event then deliver a tribute to that person or event. The anniversary of the topic’s birthday, death or occurrence must be each 5 years, not the 21st anniversary of anyone or anything. The purpose is to inspire us by using vivid language, which will create an emotional response. Use biography, history and testimony. Cite at least 3 sources in your speech body.. (Subtract event or birthday or death date from 2014 & divide by 5. If even, it is following directions for date) OR
Speech to Entertain
The STE, After Dinner Speaking, requires serious, socially significant topics, which can be treated humorously. Not all serious topics SHOULD be treated humorously (AIDS). It is NOT a string of jokes, and the aim is NOT to get laughs. It is a carefully constructed, well-timed presentation of a humorous look at a serious subject. Candidates (in general), college, job interviews-these are possible topics. You will choose a serious theme to stress throughout your speech, but do it in a light-hearted manner. (Minimum=3 serious sources in speech body)
PERSUASIVE SPEECH -Your final 6-7 minute speech focuses on persuading us to agree with your stand on a controversial issue. You will use statements of policy, choosing important, recent topics affecting all of us. <Do NOT do abortion or the death penalty, for the arguments are old. Choose topics like “More severe punishment for child molesters” or “SUVs should be as safe as cars.”> All topics must be approved as early as possible to give you the time needed to do research, outline development, and rehearsal. You will use Monroe’s Motivational Sequence (5 steps), ending with a call to action, asking us to do something about it. At least 5 recent, expert sources are required and cited in the speech body, plus a visual aid in Step 2 (to be explained). Both sides of the issue will be explored, not just your side. Deliver with few notes this late in the term. After the speech, you might be asked to defend your point of view by answering a question from the instructor and/or the audience, which challenges your point of view. (100 points: 80 oral, 20 outline)
SKILL PRACTICES: At times, you will have opportunities to practice impromptu speaking to work on fluency, etc. These are extra credit. (2 min.) If skill practices are not done when offered, due to absence or other reasons, they cannot be made up (a great reason to be here). Always volunteer, for they can never hurt, only help you. If you don’t do them, you could regret it at the end of the term. (1-10 points extra credit, my call depending on your expertise)
ATTENDANCE/TARDINESS/PARTICIPATION: p.3
Success depends upon regular attendance! You learn much not only from speaking, but also from listening/ evaluating other speeches, and participating in activities and discussions. It is important to be an audience member for your classmates! Four points are deducted per absence, 2 per incomplete attendance. You will be given 1 free absence and 2 free tardies. Leaving early/personal breaks are ALSO incomplete attendance. Follow medical excuse rules or points can be lost. I will neither re-lecture nor come to you about missed work. It is not an on-line class; don’t expect me to lecture there. Get e-mail & phone numbers from 3 classmates so you can be ready upon return with all work. Be present when class begins to present speeches. If tardy, tests will not get more time. Always watch me change absence to tardy at the end of that class. It will not change later. You need to be here for information and participation to have the best chance to succeed. (50 points)
Additional “things to know”
READINGS: Complete assigned reading before class to help you understand and contribute to discussions. You DO need to read the text to do well on tests. You be able to get the text either by ordering online, borrowing, or buying it from a person or store. This is up to you. Books are less expensive if bought online (Amazon.com, etc).
EDUCATIONAL ENVIRONMENT-3 ZONES: NO CELLS, NO FOOD/ DRINK, NO DISRESPECT Always wait outside if a classmate is giving a speech! No exceptions! The “Prime Directive” for this class is “Respect for All”. This includes feelings/beliefs different from yours. You and I are both part of the “All”. Expressing opinions can be positive, but not accusatory or in a negative tone. Remember: make appointments to discuss personal agendas (any item of disagreement, grading, or personal emergency), and disagree with ideas, not persons. Humor helps most situations, but no person should be ridiculed. Refusal to comply hurts the class atmosphere and your grade. There will be some fun, but NO class time will be spent on personal agendas. Don’t mark yourself as immature and insist on it. You are here to learn and to maintain an educational environment. WE HAVE LOTS TO DO IN A LIMITED TIME, SO DON’T WASTE IT.
MAKE-UPS/LATE ASSIGNMENTS/INCOMPLETES:
RECORDS: KEEP ALL WORK/ATTENDANCE RECORDS p.4
Keep all graded work until the end of the term when you have the grade. It is your only proof if something happens to the electronic gradebook. Technology is great, but not perfect. If asked to produce any original graded work with my writing on it, you MUST do so. (A 3-ring binder really helps here.)
**Always keep track of attendance. My records count, NOT yours, but it will remind you of points.
Start with 50 and subtract 4 per absence (over 1) and 2 pts. per tardy (over 2). If more than 15 minutes late, over 2 points can be lost. Always check in after class. If you forget, you WILL lose 4 points. It won’t be cleared later. Watch it change before leaving. This doesn’t mean saying, “I’m here”, as you arrive or leave! These are YOUR points, so check in or lose them. It won’t matter what classmates say or what paper is turned in. . Give your last name as you carefully watch me change an absence to a tardy.
Optional: Attendance & Tardies Record (if you have no other way to keep track)

80% or 400 + points = B
** 70% or 350 + points = C **C = graduation and transfer credit
60% or 300 + points = D
less than 300 points = F
As you work, add your points then divide by the possible points as of that day, to get a good idea of your points during the term. Remember: the difficult part is waiting until the next assignment to get more points.
Also remember: This is a college class, and your behavior should reflect it. I won’t hesitate to drop anyone who is not mature enough to be focused on the educational goals of each class. Socialize during break or after class. We can enjoy several assignments, but any behavior which is negative toward anyone in this class will cost you points or possibly cause removal. BE WISE. I believe in you, and you can do this!

MAKE-UPS/LATE ASSIGNMENTS/INCOMPLETES:
- Late written work is lowered for you can arrange
for someone else to bring it on time, hand it in early, take it to the college
Humanities Office (requesting time & date be marked), or e-mail it before class begins (though you will still submit the original work
UPON RETURN for credit). “Creative”
students caused this.) I will answer
questions, but I will not grade e-mailed work as this is not an online class.
- All work must show the submission date,
not date done. Hard copies are
submitted, not e-mails.
- It is possible that if you miss deadlines and
let time go by after you return, you might not be able to make-up work. Prepare
ahead of time! E-mail me about
emergencies. “I’ m not ready” isn’t one.
Incompletes are rarely given.
