Please submit you key word outline and bibliography formatted in the APA style of documentation. Below you will find the guidelines for your speech: <\/p>\n
ORAL SPEECHES\/PRESENTATIONS<\/p>\n
Once your speech topic has been chosen and approved by the instructor, it may not be changed. Do not ask to change your speech topic and or date once it has been chosen. When choosing speech topics, students should NOT choose topics pertaining to SEX, RELIGION or POLITICS!
\nInformative speeches MUST be on fine, performing, or literary arts.
\nSpeech outlines must be submitted before submitting your speech. This TYPED outline must be submitted through Blackboard by the deadline for outline submission. If you do not submit your outline, your speech will not be graded and you will receive a ZERO for the speech.
\nAll presentations and related materials must be seen clearly on the videos submitted. If am NOT able to see materials clearly, you will not receive credit.
\n Watch how you record your videos. Headshot views of presenters DO NOT allow for a full assessment of a speaker during a speech. Make sure the recording is horizontal instead of vertical. Points will be deducted for headshot only speeches and speeches recorded in vertical position.
\nStudents should stand as opposed to sitting during all presentations unless medical documents are submitted to the professor. This is very important, because I must be able to assess all body language and gestures for grading.
\nBe mindful of your background and environment when sending in videos. I should not see your kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, etc. Please choose locations that look professional to record all presentations.
\nBusiness Casual attire (NO jeans of any kind, t-shirts, baseball caps, saggy pants, revealing clothing (see through, tight, low-cut shirts, ripped clothing, stretch pants, lingerie, pajamas, sneakers\/tennis shoes, sweat clothing, sports gear, etc.) is mandatory unless you are in the military and must wear your formal uniform. In this case you must notify me in writing during the first week of class.
\nDo NOT present your speech in the dark. Speeches submitted where the speaker cannot be seen will not be graded and receive a zero (\u201c0\u201d). This is important, because you will be graded in ALL aspects of public speaking, including non-verbal ones.
\nStudents will be subject to lower scores if there are visual or audible distractions on recording: Smoke detector beeping, audience member\u2019s cell phones, babies crying, television back ground noises, music playing, laughing\/snickering, etc.
\nStudents should use proper APA style formatting to cite all research for the content of any work submitted for this class. WIKIPEDIA is NOT an academic source and credit will NOT be given to those using WIKIPEDIA.
\nYou should practice your speech at least 4-6 times before recording and submitting it.
\nPlease make sure you have at least three adult audience members, 18 years and older, for both Informative and Persuasive speeches. No exceptions! Children or pets will not count as audience members. Also Skype or Face Time audience members do not count as audience members. You will need live adult audience members to receive credit. You must include clear shots of your audience members in the final video submitted to instructor.
\nReview your speech visuals and volume and ensure that you are speaking \u201cloud\u201d enough and that it is visible to others. It may be a good idea to have someone else listen to and review your speeches before final submission. If I can\u2019t hear it, this will present a challenge in scoring it effectively
\nYour speeches are FORMAL presentations, please do NOT submit informal videos.
\nYour speeches should be done in one take. Please do not edit together different takes of your speech into one. Doing this does not approximate the stakes of a live speech presentation. Edited speeches will receive a zero.
