Informative Speaking Unit This unit has been broken down into days. This is to help with time management and ease the stress load of large projects. This unit is worth 325 points out of a total 1000 points for the course. DUE DATES: February 21 (no later than 11:59 p.m., EST.) 1. A Rough Draft Outline for an original Informative Speech should be created on a Word Document and uploaded to the correct Blackboard Link in the Assignments Tab on Blackboard. The outline is worth 25 points. 2. An original rough draft version of an Informative Speech will be recorded and uploaded to Youtube. The Youtube Link should be turned into the correct Blackboard link in the Assignments Tab on Blackboard. The link to the Speech is worth 100 points. February 24 (no later than 11:59 p.m., EST.) 1. A student critique of an assigned peer’s speech is due to two different locations today. This critique should be typed on to a Word Document and emailed directly to your partner AND uploaded to the correct Blackboard Link for a grade. The critique uploaded to the correct Blackboard assignment link is worth 25 points. March 7 (no later than 11:59 p.m., EST.) 1. A Final draft Outline for your Informative Speech. You do not create an entirely new speech an outline. This is the IMPROVED version of the same outline you have already turned in. This should be uploaded to the correct Blackboard link under the Assignments Tab in Blackboard. This outline is worth 25 points. 2. A Final Version of your Informative Speech will be recorded and uploaded to Youtube. This is not an entirely new speech. It is the same speech you have just created, but it contains substantial improvement and clearly indicates that you took feedback into consideration and strove for a better final product. The link to this speech recording on Youtube should be attached to the correct Blackboard link under the Assignments Tab in Blackboard. This improved version of the Informative Speech you have created is worth 150 points. Day One “To Do” (Feb. 1) Step One: Watch this video on the difference between Informative and Persuasive Speeches: https://youtu.be/85gg_pgij4I (11 minutes) Step Two: To begin this Unit, it is important to understand that when you deliver an Informative Speech on ANY topic, in the world of Public Speaking we immediately think of how best to organize that topic in a way your audience will understand. How you ORGANIZE your thoughts on any topic is an essential skill in public speaking. These videos will help: https://youtu.be/x2dxh8xc68E (4 minutes) https://youtu.be/4bwDr7WVBwo (14 minutes) Step Three: Here is an excellent example of a student delivering an informative speech: https://youtu.be/StPSgqwCnVk (5 minutes, 30 seconds) Day Two “To Do” (Feb 3) Read Chapter 11 and complete the quiz. There is a direct link to the quiz in the “Assignments Tab” under the Informative Speaking Unit module. Day Three “To Do” (Feb 5) Step One: Select a topic for your Informative Speech. If you need help, the textbook has ideas and you can Google and come up with more topics than you can imagine. The important thing is to find something you can “teach others” about easily. This is not the time to research something completely brand new. Stay in your comfort zone. Stay with something you know a lot about and can speak about with excitement and energy because it really interests you. Obviously, keep the topic appropriate to the collegiate environment. Step Two: I have a topic—now what?? You need an organizational PATTERN. This will help guide you as you put your speech together. Watch this: https://youtu.be/gKnJT9b8D4g Now, pick an ORGANIZATIONAL PATTERN that will work with your informative speech topic. Step Three: This is when the questions start to flood in….exactly what do I do? This video will walk you through what you need to create: https://youtu.be/A8CE47GTXt8 Step Four: How will I be graded? You have to create TWO VERSIONS of this speech. Yes, two. Just like in English class when you are asked to create a rough draft of a paper and then a final draft. We are doing the same thing here. You will need to create a ROUGH DRAFT outline of this speech, a ROUGH DRAFT video recording of this speech, and turn the Rough Draft outline and the Rough Draft speech youtube link into Blackboard for a grade. Then, you will need to view your partner’s speech and give them feedback (for a grade). Then, you will need to take the feedback you receive and polish up your speech and outline. Then, you will create a final version outline of the speech and a final version recording of the speech. Upload the final version outline and link to the final version recording to Blackboard for a grade. 300 points for the entire unit. 100 points for the first rough draft recorded version of the speech. 25 points for the first rough draft outline of this speech. 150 points for the final recorded version of the speech. 25 points for the final outline version of this speech.

(15 points) (25 points total possible) Day Four “To Do” (Feb. 8) Speech creation day! Day Five “To Do” (Feb. 10) Today is a great day to keep working on the speech. Create something you are proud of. Day Six “To Do” (Feb. 12) You need to rehearse this speech so that you are verbally and visually as amazing as possible. Aim for professionalism in every capacity. Use vocal variety, gestures, facial expressions, and volume! You may use your outline and/or notecards. Do NOT read from a manuscript. Really work towards making your presentation great FOR THE CAMERA!! Ask people to be a literal audience for you as you practice. It helps a lot. Day Seven “To Do” (Feb 15) Now, you get to be technologically savvy! You are going to learn how to record yourself speaking so that you look and sound fantastic. Today is a day to spend on Youtube figuring out the best ways to record yourself so that it is as professional as possible. Tips on How to Record Yourself at Home: VIDEO: An iPhone or Android phone will do wonderfully. LIGHTING: Find a place where there is an abundance of natural light in front of you if possible. Natural light coming from a window illuminating the actor’s face/body is best. You do not want there to be any bright windows or lights behind you – this will create shadows. If you do not have access to a window, consider arranging floor lamps, desk lamps or other lighting in front of you illuminating your face. You can even use other phones with their flash on to provide extra light in a pinch. CLUTTER: Remove all clutter from the place you’ll be recording. This doesn’t mean the room or space can’t have character or personality, but it should feel neat and non-distracting. SPACING: Ideally you don’t want to be right up against a wall, as it can make the viewer feel uncomfortable. Consider standing at least 12 inches or more from a wall. AUDIO: Standing on a carpet or rug is best as it will make the room sound less echo-y. Close the doors and windows (and turn off any heating or air conditioning) to make the room as quiet as possible so the only thing that can be heard is your voice. Standing further from a wall will also help to reduce echo reflections. FRAMING: The video should be shot horizontally. Turn the cell phone sideways. You should be in the center of the frame with the bottom of the frame at the bottom of your chest and the top of the frame slightly above the top of your head. SITTING OR STANDING: Ideally, the camera should remain stationary in one position throughout the scene otherwise you risk distracting your viewer. Don’t let the person behind the camera try any artsy or fancy camera movements. VOLUME: Be LOUD! Really, speak much louder than you would normally. It will make it easier to hear and understand you. Here is a big hint when recording yourself. Typically you utilize a front-facing camera when recording. This camera may be on your laptop, phone, Ipad, or other device. It is very hard to not look at yourself when recording. Very hard. Don’t do it. People don’t do this when they speak to us….they do not look at us and then intently look at something else slightly off to their right. PLEASE look right into the camera…nowhere else! A thing I like to do is take a little post-it note and poke a little hole in it (large enough for just my camera to look through). Then, I place it over the camera and draw a smiley face on it. I know, I know. This is corny. So is talking to someone who isn’t even there. This is what you do when you record a speech. Try this! The smiley face reminds you to smile and be pleasant and relaxed. The location reminds you were to look and look NOWHERE else. Try it! It helps! Day Eight “To-Do” (Feb. 17) Today, upload your Rough Draft Version of the Informative Speech to Youtube. Send the link to your assigned partner via email. They need to send you the link to their speech as well. Reach out to your partner and remind them to do this. The Rough Draft Version of the Informative Speech is due for a grade no later than 11:59 p.m. (EST) on Feb. 21. Please upload this to the correct Blackboard link. The Rough Draft Version Outline to Informative Speech is also due uploaded to the correct Blackboard link no later than Feb. 21. Day Nine “To-Do” (Feb. 19) Today is the day to view your partner’s speech and email them some feedback. You should write quite a few paragraphs. Here are things to discuss with them: *lighting *volume *pacing *any distractions in the environment behind them *professionalism *Topic choice *Easy to understand-diction and articulation *Easy to understand in terms of ideas and getting across the information logically *Entertaining and interesting? *Vocal delivery *physical delivery *their best skill *something they can work on Once you have drafted the email to your partner and sent it, please copy and paste the email on to a Word Document and upload this to the correct Blackboard Assignment link for a grade no later than 11:59 p.m. on Feb. 24. Day Ten “To-Do” (Feb. 22) Today is a great day to read Chapter Four and take that quiz. The link to the quiz is in the Assignments tab under the Informative Speaking Module. Day Eleven “To-Do” (Feb. 24) You should receive your partner’s feedback today on your speech. Today is the last day they have to send it. Read it and take it into consideration. Rehearse some more and make changes as needed. Make sure you have uploaded your Rough Draft Speech Youtube link and Rough Draft Outline to the correct Blackboard assignment online for a grade by today. Day Twelve “To-Do” (Feb. 26) If you haven’t received any feedback from your partner, today you need to email Professor Muellner directly so that she has time to view your speech and send you feedback so you get some! Rehearse your speech!! Day Thirteen “To-Do” (March 1) Today is a great day to record the last and final recording of your Informative Speech so you are happy with it. Turn it into the correct Blackboard link under the assignments tab and located in the Informative Speaking Unit learning module. Update your outline to reflect the changes and submit this to the correct Blackboard link. Both are due no later than March 7.
