Community Outreach!

Get out there and make a difference in the Campus and the World. I hope your community outreaches are fun, engaging, and revealing. Record your experiences through video, photographs, drawings, poetry, music, dance, theatrics, song ... any genre you feel is fitting to share with the class.

Here's the schedule:
- Thursday, December 2: No class. Use the time to do the outreach
- Tuesday, December 7: Meet in class to work on the presentation
- Thursday, December 9: Present your community outreach to the class

Your community outreach project and presentation is worth 50 points: 25 points will be based on your group feedback of your work and another 25 points will be based on how engaged the audience feels with your presentation. You'll have 8 to 12 minutes to entertain, engage, and enlighten us.

Remember to turn in your (one page) self reflective analysis on your persuasive speech before the last day of class. (Scroll down to see the criteria used in the last reflective analysis and use this as a frame work.) All late speeches, papers, and outlines must be turned in before December 9 to be considered for credit.

The optional final will be given on these days/times:
- 9:30 a.m. class - Thursday, December 16, 8-10 a.m.
- 3:30 p.m. class - Thursday, December 16, 1-3 p.m.

Enjoy your community outreach. We should have some great weather.

Have a Safe and Happy Thanksgiving

Until Thanksgiving Break

We'll be presenting in class on Tuesday, Nov 16; Thursday, November 18; and Tuesday, November 23.

Listen closely to each presenter.

On Tuesday, November 23 we'll be forming groups. You will submit to me a list of your top 5 groups. I will form the groups and post them on the blog over the Thanksgiving Holiday.

If you are unable to present on the day you signed up for, be prepared to present at every class period from now on. We'll try to fit you in.

Thursday (November 11)

Bring in your completed outline to class. I'll be picking it up. We'll also be discussing visual presentation aids, so feel free to bring in your laptop or printed slides to share.

Thursday (Nov 4) and Tuesday (Nov9)

I've looked over some of your rough drafts, and I think many of you are well on your way to present a fantastic persuasive speech on November 16-23. You'll have some great projects to choose from when these speeches are over!

NO CLASS ON THURSDAY - BUT ASSIGNMENT IS DUE VIA EMAIL

On Thursday, I'll be traveling and attending sessions at the SAMLA conference in Atlanta, and I'll be giving my presentation on Friday. What I want to see from you on Thursday is an email listing out your five sources. PLEASE put your sources in your email and not as an attachment.

I want two academic sources that come from our library. I really want you to get in there and explore. I love libraries, and the people there are very nice. The other three sources can come from anyone/place you find helpful and credible. Remember, interviews are a source.

If you attend my 9:30 class, you have till 3 p.m. on Thursday (November 4) to email those sources to me. If you attend my 3:30 class, you have till 5 p.m. on Thursday (November 4).

On Tuesday (November 9), I'll be expecting you to bring two copies of your draft outline. One draft you turn into me, the other draft your tribe will comment on. You need to have your sources integrated into the outline. You also need to read Chapters 17 and 18 before Tuesday's class.

Let me know if you have any questions. My email is shawn.apostel (at) eku.edu. Have a wonderful and productive week.
