ASSIGNMENT - MOTIVATIONAL PRESENTATION
Need 1000 words speech and Outline.
Suggested topic - Motivation and something related how to motivate students to get high marks and use the time.
To do: Create an original motivational presentation.
1) Brainstorm ideas and create an outline using one of the organizational techniques discussed in the course. Submit the outline prior to developing the speech so your instructor can provide you with feedback. Also include this outline in your final submission.
2) Analyse your speech using the concepts discussed in the course. Use Assignments #3 and #2 as a guide to writing this component. Be sure to comment on your nonverbal communication, as well as all other elements of good presentations. *Do not simply submit your written speech. You must analyse the speech itself, making your intentions clear in terms of the decisions behind the speech creation. What organisational structure did you use? What rhetorical devices and why? What persona did you create? What research did you do, etc. Be sure to include a references page.
3.) Record your five minute presentation as if you are delivering it to an actual audience. Upload it to YouTube via an Unlisted link. (For more information on how to submit an unlisted YouTube link, go to YouTube itself and do a search for "how to upload an unlisted link" - this will give you a few video tutorials).
