Tuesday's (September 1) Class

I've received a few emails asking for more details about Tuesday's assignment. On our syllabus it says:

Discuss Chapter 1, 2
Discuss: http://www.ted.com/talks/david_carson_on_design.html
Bring Flyer/Poster/Sticker/Iron-on draft to class

Here are some more details in case you missed them in class:

Read Chapter 1 and 2 in our Public Speaking book. If you've been able to access myspeechlab.com, then you can actually quiz yourself on the reading. Once you do the quiz, you'll be directed to pages you need to look at more closely. This quiz is not required, but I think it's pretty helpful.

Watch this video: http://www.ted.com/talks/david_carson_on_design.html (Watch it before class or you'll be out of the loop)

Bring a working draft of your project to class. I listed out a bunch of stuff before the class started, so it really isn't all that relevant. For example, some people are going to use plays and social experiments that will be recorded. Another person is using video games. What I want is some evidence of critical thinking about this project. I'd like some visual form of evidence of this thinking process. It could be words on paper, a detailed picture, a bunch of magazine scraps on a poster board. Be creative. Have fun. Find out what works for you.

See you Tuesday. Email me if you have any questions.
