A student stands and speaks to the class (introducing her/himself to Borger). Must make eye-contact with every student in class. When eye-contact has occurred, audience member puts her/his hand down.

Double-up if you haven't finished talking: once hands are down, make eye-contact with everyone again, making them raise their hands the 2nd time. 04/19 - Tuesday 1. Meet & Greet - Call me Borger (Bore-Grrrrr). Nice to meet you! I have two bachelor's degrees (one in English, one in Education), a Master's in Speech Communication, and am currently working on my Master's in English at SIU. I am not some random, unqualified stranger off the street ;). I have taught English and Speech courses at SIU and JALC, Speech and Film at SIC (in Harrisburg), and have taught English at area high schools from 2001-2009. Nice to meet'cha. Here is more information if you are interested: Borger Bio Page. 2. Turn in Outlines for
Single Point Informative Speeches (16 received) Belief: What you
accept as truth: i.e. Asparagus is green Nature of experience speech: Compose and deliver a 4-6 minute speech around a significant experience you had in your life. Your main points are not the story itself but the impact the event had on your life. 3-5 main points are what you learned - the story is not the body of the speech, but the introductory information that moves us toward learning its lasting impact.
List of Taboo Topics: 4. Review the rubrics (how are speeches graded?) 5. Audience: Keep in mind your audience is your peers in this class. Consider their knowledge and experiences. Consider self-disclosure, consider attitudes, consider what they know about your subject (i.e. you may be an expert, but they may not - anticipate gaps in their knowledge) 6. We will try to make the best of our situation. While I want to foster an environment of collaboration and low-stress / low-risk, I will also maintain high standards and make sure the grades you receive fulfill the requirements and standards set forth by John A. Logan College's expectations for every SPE115 course. 7. Tried to get volunteers to start speeches on Thursday 04/21. 2 people volunteered. Students wanted me to review outlines a second time. We will schedule 1st speeches on Thursday.
