1 like360 views
The document provides instructions for completing the final assignments for a public speaking class before the last meeting. Students are reminded to finalize their persuasive and commemorative speeches, portfolio, and communication experiment assignments. For the persuasive speech, students must use deductive reasoning, cite credible sources and statistics, and bring an extra outline copy. The commemorative speech pays tribute to a person, group, or institution and is organized topically rather than chronologically. The portfolio includes speeches, journal entries, feedback, and a reflective self-evaluation. Students are also asked to provide feedback to help improve the class.
