Due on 9/27 - Chapter 5 "Choosing a Topic" and Duckworth "Grit"

THIS IS FOR MY T/TH 1:40 ONLY!!!!!!!


Read Chapter 5 in the Text - Pgs. 77-97. This chapter focuses on "Choosing a Topic". This will aid in the process of thinking about your informative speech!
I will introduce the informative speech and post a schedule at the end of this week.

In the meantime. Watch Angela Duckworth in her TED Talk "Grit". She discusses the purpose and authentic possibilities in relation to perseverance and determination. University of Pennsylvania Professor is most popular for her 2013 speech on "Grit": The power of passion and perseverance.

Actively Listen:  Take notes (in your notebook) while you listen/watch .
Think about her hook (introduction). What makes her hook so relevant to that of her main points/purpose?
What is her thesis? Main idea of the speech?
How does she break her main point down into parts and provide her listeners with powerful and meaningful information?

Is this an informative speech? Did you learn something?

https://www.ted.com/talks/angela_lee_duckworth_grit_the_power_of_passion_and_perseverance

EQ = Essential Question To later be discussed in Socratic Seminar
Critical Thinking: How does "Grit" shape our understanding of success or lack there of?
Can grit be taught? Are we born with grit? If you were to give an informative speech in class what would you want to learn more about? Teach the class about?

"Defining Moment" Speeches Will Continue!! 9/20

Continue Working ON your speeches if you have not performed

Due :9/25
Review Achor's Speech
Be sure to respond in your notebook. We will have a class discussion before speeches begin.

Have A SAFE AND HAPPY WEEKEND!

Speeches Begin on 9/18- Shawn Achor/ Introductory Speech Prep!

I) WORK ON YOUR Speech!!!

• Outline
• Talking points (index cards)
• Re-read the evaluation for speeches
• Review Your notes (my lecture/fishbowl) and Chapters 1&4.

Do not forget ONE Visual AND.... YOU MUST HAND IN A FORMAL OUTLINE in order to perform your speech!

____________________________________________________________________________
II) Watch : SHAWN ACHOR- TED Talk "The Happy Secret To Better Work" (2012)
Author of Big Potential (2018) The Happiness Advantage (2011)
Leading Expert in the Psychology of "Happiness and Success" Achor is a business man, teacher and psychologist

https://www.ted.com/talks/shawn_achor_the_happy_secret_to_better_work?language=en

As you watch.. take notes.. How does Shawn engage the audience? Does he have a thesis? a Main point?
How does he begin his speech? As far as his rhetoric, does it motivate? captivate? How and when does he make solid points regarding happiness? Does he incorporate facts, percentages and statistics into his speech?  How does he maintain his credibility. What did you like/dislike about the speech? What did you learn?

We will go over this in class when the speeches are complete. Try to watch it before you give your speech. It helps to watch others perform speeches. You can develop skills by both watching speeches and performing speeches!

Have A Wonderful Weekend!

Due : 9/13 Before the Introductory- Tyrion Lannister "Don't Wait"

THe Introductory Speech asks that you construct a 6-8 min  speech that explains some aspect of your life. This class asks that you focus on a "defining moment". Think about an experience/moment that has had an impact on your life. Your introductory Speech should share this aspect of who you are and this will tell a story to the audience.

Be sure to incorporate a visual and Hand in a Formal Outline! You will not be able to perform your speech without a formal outline! 
Read Chapter 4 pgs. 63-75

Introductory Speeches- Will begin on 2/5
Your introductory speech should focus on a defining moment!


Watch: How To Start A Speech? Connor Niell
Make an impact from the beginning. 3 ways to start a speech... A question, A quote, a connection! Perhaps a Fact.... You want to engage the audience
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w82a1FT5o88

Take Notes in your notebook:
Answer the following: Does Niell make significant and worthy points?
What would you do? How would you tackle your speech?

Begin to Brainstorm Ideas for YOUR FIRST SPEECH!!!! Conduct some pre-writing in your notebook. Perhaps start with a circle in the middle that  reads "defining moment in my life" then write all of your ideas around it. This is called a cluster - free/writing. I used a T chart in my lecture. You can use a T chart or H chart if that helps. 

Watch: Peter Dinklage (Tyrion Lannister) "DON'T WAIT"

Although it is a commencement speech it is still about his career. It is still meant to share the experience (moment) he had when he decided who he is and what he will become.
He talks about the defining moments that already happened and will happen again. However, the moment he made that decision to be an actor transformed him.

This is just brain food! You can take away what you feel from it.
Watching/ Reading Speeches is the best way to gain confidence and give speeches.

Assignment Due on 9/11 - Prepare for a "Fishbowl"

I. Read Chapter 1 pgs. 3-27 in The Art Of Public Speaking by Stephen Lucas

II. In your notebook 3 paragraphs:
Discuss the importance of public speaking. In your own words, describe how and why one would choose to employ the skills of public speaking and how that may relate to your life.

Please use two concrete examples from the text to support your ideas. Concrete examples are clear examples that support your ideas and provide the reader with substance and credibility. When you incorporate ideas into your response you should always support it with evidence. In this case, you support your ideas with examples from the text (chapter 1). 

For Example, preparation and logical ideas in business markets can help young generations in the job market "organizing one's thoughts in business can prove powerful results in a world with an abundance of technology in creative markets" (Lucas 22).
OR.... Lucas in his "Similarities between public Speaking and Conversation" asserts that spending the day talking with other people employs a wide variety of skills" (22).

III. WATCH: Malala Yousafzai's Nobel Peace Prize Acceptance Speech 2014
