Involve me, I understand.

This week you will debrief your demonstration speech and consider ways to enhance your delivery skills.

1. Submit Exam #1, found in the Assignments of your Blackboard site;
2. Read Chapters 18-22 of your text, A Speaker's Guidebook ;
3.
Sign on to Blackboard and complete two options for Unit Seven on the discussion board;
4.
Watch videotape #7: Delivery Skills; and
5. Prepare your preparation outline for your upcoming persuasive speech:

While you'll be preparing a speaking outline for each of your talks, you are asked to submit a copy of your preparation outline for your persuasive speech.

Your outline should include your speech title, your purpose and thesis statements, the introduction, body and conclusion, as well as a bibliography.

Your bibliography must be a scholarly one. Use the APA style. (Tips are on the NVCC Library website.)

Using your student e-mail, submit your outline to my e-mail at npeck@nvcc.edu. Make sure that it is MS Word compatible and put SPD 100 on the message line. I'll look it over, grade it, and return my comments to you via e-mail.
