There is no video for today’s lesson, as is true of most of the Friday lessons. Implement the tips that you learned in the lessons this week to make as many improvements as you can, as compared to last week’s speech video.
It is always helpful to have feedback on how well your speech went. This is part of why we have the forums for you to give and get feedback from other students. Obviously, since the point of this week’s speech is to be persuasive, as you watch other students’ speech videos, be sure that you comment as to whether or not the speech was convincing. If you were convinced, commend the speaker for a job well done. If you were not convinced, rather than bash another student, please give one constructive comment that will help the speaker be more persuasive next time.
Assignment:
Today you need to record your ninth speech for this class, post the video on your WordPress blog, and then post a link to the blog on the student forums.
Also, you are required to go back and watch the video when you are done. Take note of what you would like to be improving for next week’s speech so that you can be sure to keep improving every week.
This speech is another that I would like you to give to a live audience of either your family or a small group of friends.
Your next speech project will be a two week project, and at the end you will be required to give your speech publicly. More on that in next week’s lessons.
