Explain why you are the person to give the speech on your chosen value.

FORMAL PRESENTATION: “Values Speech” Update- 3 to 4 minutes

Now that you’ve discovered the difference between informative and persuasive speaking, you’ve chosen your persuasive speech topic (your value) and have formulated your specific purpose statement, how about providing a “project update” for your classmates? We’d like to hear the additional thoughts and plans you have for the Persuasive “Values” speech.
So, in this unit, you will develop and upload an Informative Speech video entitled: Formal Presentation: “Values Speech” Update.
You will tell your audience what you’ve done so far and what plans you have for the upcoming persuasive values speech. So, take your time and–
Remind us of your topic (value) and your specific purpose statement.
Explain why you are the person to give the speech on your chosen value. Why are you interested in the value and what gives you the experience or credibility to talk about this value? (Feel free to mention areas of competence, character, caring, and/or charisma.)
Explore why you believe your audience would be interested in this topic. How do you anticipate they will react to your topic/value? Feel free to share feedback you might have received from previous discussion with your classmates and talk with us about the psychographic information (Section 5.1 of the e-text) you have discovered about your classmates.
Share any new or adjusted intentions you may have. What are you interested in discovering here? What more do you think you need to learn about this value? What are you curious about? What do you think you will need to research?
When you’re ready to present your update, do not read from a script, outline, or directly from your computer screen. Approach this experience as if you’re having a conversation (a dialogue) with your audience through the eye of the camera lens.
Remember this is a speech, you are not writing and reading a paper on camera. That’s not how we’re approaching this class.
Use note cards to keep you organized and make direct eye contact with the lens of your camera while you are standing in front of it.
Also please record your speech horizontally NOT vertically. We want to see you and your gestures.
Here is a student example of the Informative Values Speech Update:
Remember to use the following directions when recording your video:
$WIKI_REFERENCE$/pages/recording-and-uploading-videos-through-canvas-studio?module_item_id=gd3abf217c6ac59f6329edf1ab36e7fbd

You will not receive credit for simply posting a written discussion of your speech. You must complete an actual speech video here.

Please realize also that you will be asked to re-record your speech if you edit any part of the video. Your presentation must be uploaded as one continuous speech, meaning you may not submit your speech video with numerous different “takes”.
Once you’ve uploaded your speech video, make sure you spend time reviewing as many of your classmates’ speeches as possible. Provide constructive feedback to at least 5 of them. Comment on their chosen value and their anticipated approach to research and plans for presentation.
(Remember to review the following if you need a “refresher” on feedback.)

Using 3 Romantic texts by at least 2 different authors, explain how some important, specific Romantic characteristics are expressed in each text. Make sure you state clearly which specific Romantic characteristics
For this Critical Paper assignment, we will focus on the literary movement we explored in Unit 1, which is
Romanticism.
Here is your paper topic/prompt:
Using 3 Romantic texts by at least 2 different authors, explain how some important, specific Romantic
characteristics are expressed in each text. Make sure you state clearly which specific Romantic
characteristics—from the list below—you are using in the essay. Overall, which text is the best
representation of Romanticism and why?
Common Characteristics of Romanticism
 [Many texts] [f]ocused on the importance of the individual.
 Nature was celebrated in works.
 Many people during this time called for change (with women’s rights, for example).
 Political philosophers continued to focus on the inherent positive features of man.
 Imagination was celebrated.
 Works began to feature “Regular Joes” in society.
 Children were the primary focus of some texts.
 Supernatural elements were featured/celebrated in works.
 Folklore was often included.
Additional paper guidelines:
 The final draft of this paper must contain 700-900 words.
 The paper must be written in MLA format (with double-spacing, 12-point Arial font, a creative essay
title, a works cited page, etc.).
 The paper must feature well-chosen quotations from the texts to support the claims made in the
composition.
 While creating your essay, you may consult the module in eLearn Content titled “How to Quote and
Cite Sources,” which provides MLA guidelines for quoting and citing from the texts.
 Place your 1-sentence argumentative thesis statement at the end of the introductory paragraph.
 According to the paper prompt, you must use “3 Romantic texts by at least 2 different authors,” but
these Romantic texts/authors must come from the following list of works that we have actually
covered in class:
o By Edgar Allan Poe: “The Oval Portrait,” “The Purloined Letter”
o By Walt Whitman: Song of Myself selected poems: #1, #5, #6, #52
When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom’d #6, #15
Note: We will consider each separate Whitman poem to be 1 text. For example, Song of
Myself Poem #1 is considered 1 text; Song of Myself Poem #5 is viewed as a separate
text. Similarly, When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom’d Poem #6 is considered 1 text;
When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom’d Poem #15 is viewed as a separate text.
o By Emily Dickinson: #409 “[The Soul selects her own Society—]”
#591 “[I heard a Fly buzz—when I died—]”
Page 2 of 2
#236 “[Some keep the Sabbath going to Church—]”
#620 “[Much Madness is divinest Sense—]”

There will be NO SECONDARY RESEARCH IN THE PAPER—THAT MEANS YOU WILL BE
USING ONLY THE STORIES/POEMS THEMSELVES. Thus, for example, stay away from
websites that provide analysis of the texts. Keep in mind that if a paper includes material from a
source that is not properly cited, this results in plagiarism, and a composition containing
plagiarism will receive an “F.”

Due date-

Friday, July 15— Submit your Critical Paper final draft—of 700-900 words—to the designated eLearn
dropbox before 11:59 PM. You must submit your essay in a file format that the dropbox can
“read”—.doc, .docx, or .rtf

Do you have some experience with the value you’ve chosen and are you curious to learn more?

NOTE: Please save file as Com101_Written Discussion_ Developing Your Persuasive Speech Purpose Statement

Chapter 6: Finding a Purpose and Selecting a Topic, you’ll want to take time to carefully study the following document: Persuasive Speech Assignment revised fall 2021.docx
Actions
We’ll be focusing on it throughout the rest of the semester. Make sure you understand what you’ll need to accomplish with this major assignment.
You will then want to choose your topic– one value– from this extensive 4-page list: Lesson 7 Persuasive Values Speech Topics- revised2.docx
Actions
Again, you need to choose just 1 value from this fairly exhaustive list. Some of the topics/values are rather broad. Feel comfortable narrowing your topic to fit your personal knowledge and interests of your audience.
Spend time thinking about this. What value do you relate to? Do you have some experience with the value you’ve chosen and are you curious to learn more? Is this topic too narrow? How can I make this topic more fresh and relevant? You’ll also want to be thinking about your audience. How might they relate to the value you’ve chosen?
NOTE: Please read the announcement titled, Selecting a Speech Topic.”
When you’ve chosen your topic/value (and narrowed it to your liking) use the follow prompts to develop a bulleted list and post it in Discussion Forum:
Your choice of topic/value from the provided list (above)
A specific persuasive purpose statement (review section 6.4 of the e-text)
An explanation of your connection to the topic. You want to describe your relationship with the value. Why do you believe you have the credibility (Ethos) to speak with us about this value? In other words, how do you envision showing character, competence, caring, and charisma?
Comment on why you believe your audience will be open to a speech on this particular value. Contemplate and comment on your classmates’ (your audience’s) psychographics (Section 5.1 of your text).
Finally, plan to respond to at least 3 of your peers about their specific purpose statements and stay open to suggestions they make about yours.
