I really enjoyed listening to your introductory speeches and seeing how you utilized Prezi for your presentations. Thanks for sharing your stories with the class.
Now we need to move on to another story, our Informative Speeches. Like we've discussed in class, I want you to research something that is of interest to you. What do you really want to know more about? What would you like to learn? What would you like to build? What would you like to experience?
Use this assignment to channel your interest into this class. As you begin your research, take notes on how you are going about finding, collecting, and applying the information you gather. Your informative speech will focus on your journey of discovery. Think about William in the video from Tuesday.
Your challenge will be finding a way to tell a compelling 6-minute narrative of discovery in front of the class. You can use up to 1 minute of original video/audio you captured, photos, sketches, the list goes on. Feel free to use PowerPoint or Prezi or neither. But know that the class is your audience. Keep us engaged.
For Thursday, bring your research topic idea to class, and be ready to share it with others. Bring a thumbdrive to class to get your video, or upload your videos to MySpeechLab (tutorial if needed). Watch this video and think about how the speaker focuses on his quest and less on how to actually build a toaster. If the video doesn't work below, watch it on Ted.com.
Hope your Wednesday is spectacular.
