Speech Assignments
Introductory speech
For this initial assignment, you are to construct a two-minute speech introducing yourself to the class. You may focus the speech on describing a significant experience, an educational moment from your life, an important personal belief, or a favorite hobby or interest. The purpose of the speech is not to persuade the audience to share the speaker’s views but to give the audience insight into speaker’s background, personality, attitudes, or aspirations. Even though you are not expected to memorize the speech, you should use as much eye contact as possible.
Informative Speech
The purpose of the informative speech is to create or facilitate understanding among your listeners. You may choose to speak on an object, concept, process or event. The target time for the speech is four minutes. As you practice, you should time your speech to ensure that it ends within 30 seconds of the target time. You are required to use at least one visual aid and at least three sources. At least one of these sources must be scholarly. You are allowed to use more than one source located through RUC licensed databases. Delivery of the speech is to be extemporaneous.
Persuasive Speech
The purpose of this speech is to persuade your audience for or against a question of policy, fact, or value. The target time for the speech is four minutes. You are required to use a minimum of four sources. At least one of these sources must be scholarly. Remember to cite your sources orally as you use them in your speech and to list them in your bibliography. You are required to highlight the sources in your outline.
Academic Integrity
Plagiarism or other forms of cheating on exams and/or other class assignments will result in a failing grade on the assignment in question and may lead to failure in the course or other penalties.
Cheating is violating the rules of the course. This includes copying others’ work, giving others your work to use as their own, using notes on an in-class test, looking at others’ work when you are instructed to work alone, and breaking other rules, written or announced, that are part of class policy.
Plagiarizing is representing written work as your own when you are not the original source. This includes failing to cite references, failing to set others’ work in quotation marks, and paraphrasing insufficiently even if you do give credit to someone else. This also applies to spoken work.
Both oral and written assignments are due on the assigned dates. No late speeches. Late speeches will be at the discretion of the teacher. Grades on late written assignments will be deducted to certain extent. Students will get ZERO for a speech if they plagiarize.
