Rhetoric/Speech class assignment for third co-op

[EricaS]

Our first speech will be an introduction.

I encouraged picking from the current history studies to minimize the extra work needed and help tie all our classes together, but I am open to others. It must be a real person.

Due at co-op 3 – select a person – that is all you need for this co-op

The person you are selecting should be someone you would be really excited to have come to our class and speak to us. You need to know enough about the person that your excitement is built on fact.

You should have in mind the topic the person would speak on. e.g. If you select Benjamin Franklin, you should decide what approximate age he is and whether he will be addressing his scientific adventures OR participation in the political conventions OR what it is like to be an ambassador for the fledgling USA OR as an older man reflecting on what he has seen over his life. Can you see how that would make a difference in what you would say in introducing him?

We will be delivering these short speeches at co-ops 4 and 5. I will post more information and grading rubric soon.

Thank you!
Mrs. Searl

And this is the website that generates logic puzzles if you want to practice some of these. I got a few more from this website to do in class, so be warned, you might do one that I will use in class. It is fine with me! Just want you to know.
