Wednesday, November 18 Assignment

Hi Students!

I apologize for the abrupt change in plans (I'm sure you guys were dying to do your job interviews, right?). I don't know if your substitute shared this information with y'all, but I was selected to be a juror this week in a civil case that is estimated to last 4-5 days! So, for now, we're going to move ahead to informative speaking since it's our next (and final) speaking assignment. Next week we will commence our job interviews, and I will share that schedule with y'all in a separate blog post.

Click on the link below to access a chapter I've shared with you on informative speaking. Read pages 296-306 independently and complete the Try This! assignment at the bottom of page 306. If you'd like to complete the assignment on the computer, that's fine-- just share it with me as usual. If you'd like to handwrite the assignment, that's fine too-- whether you type it or handwrite it, the Try This! assignment is due on Friday, November 20. By completing the assignment, you should have narrowed your ideas down to one final informative speech topic--- so really think about what you want to speak about when you complete this assignment.

After you complete the assignment, you may use your class time to begin researching your topic. Make sure, first of all, that there's enough information out there (from trustworthy sources) on your topic. We'll talk about sources in class, but for now you may ask Mr. Dunning, your substitute, if you have any questions.

Best,
Ms. Kleinecke
