The first speech assignment is coming up on November 5 for group A. There will be another speech assignment after the midterm. Each speech is worth 10% of your final mark for the class.
Requirements:
- Speeches should be between 3 and 5 minutes; time yourself when you are practicing so your speech is not too long or too short
- Please do not use Powerpoint or other presentations, pictures, posters etc; you are only marked on your speech
- Speeches must be your own work. Of course you can do research and include the information and/or quotes you find, but put everything in your own words and, where possible, state where the information comes from. Plagiarism is a very serious offence and will get you a mark of ZERO.
- The topic of the first speech is TRAVEL. You may focus on any aspect of the topic that you wish.
Tips for a successful speech
- Try to talk about something that you are interested in. Your speech will be more interesting to listen to if you are interested in what you are talking about.
- Prepare in advance. Don't wait til the last minute; there aren't many people who can just make up a good speech with no preparation.
- Practice your speech. Find a practice audience and say your speech out loud for them; pay attention to their feedback and comments in order to make your speech better.
Marking
All speeches are marked out of 10 point:
Grammar/Organization 4
Details/Description 4
Overall presentation 2
If you have any questions about the assignment, please ask during the next class.
If you will not be in class on November 5, please make arrangements in advance to give your speech at another time.
