Forum Objective: Prepare students for the Week 3 speech assignments

You do not have to record your Week 3 speech. Recording your speech is totally optional. Instead, you have the option of just posting your powerpoint or a recorded narration of your powerpoint. It is up to you. Just remember, however, to place your speech in the speaker notes.

For your Initial post:

Post an outline of your Week 3 speech. You can attach your Power Point to your forum post or you can simply type out your Power Point speech structure like the example below. It is up to you.  Take a look at this Power Point speech template Here is an example of a Power Point speech:

Structure of a Power Point Speech

Slide 1: Title Slide with your name

Slide 2: Put your main idea (thesis) with all three reasons. Smoking causes lung cancer, throat cancer and stomach cancer.

Slide 4: Smoking causes lung cancer. (3 bullets tops)

Slide 5: Smoking causes stomach cancer (3 bullets tops)

Slide 7: Sources

Student Reply Instructions:

For your student replies, peer review and give constructive criticism on each others’ speeches.

1. Peer Review each other’s Power Point speeches

2. Does the speech have a central idea? Did he support his main idea? What weaknesses and strengths do you see in the speech?

3. Did the student use the proper speech structure like the outline below?

4. Did he use too many bullets? Are his slides too busy? Is his font hard to read (too small) or too much? Is there enough color contrast?  Did he use too many graphs on a slide? (One graph per slide is best) Can you see the slide from far away?
