COMMUNICATION STUDIES 100 – PROFESSOR CIRAULO
IMPROMPTU SPEECH ASSIGNMENT – “SELL IT!”
ASSIGNMENT:
The purpose of this speech is to provide you with the opportunity to use Toulmin’s Model of Argumentation to persuade your audience to buy any ordinary, everyday object using a simplified version of the Three Claim speech pattern. Take any object you find and, in a three minute speech, persuade your audience to buy it using two arguments following claim-evidence-reasoning. Be creative, be funny, use humor and make this fun! YOU ARE REQUIRED TO USE THE WORD “SNICKERDOODLE” ONCE AT SOME POINT IN YOUR SPEECH – 10 EXTRA CREDIT POINTS will be awarded to the speaker who uses the word in the most creative way. Remember to make this fun and funny (and classroom-appropriate, of course) — Pretend you are taping a three-minute television commercial.
The assignment link is open now and will close on the due date 12noon on Monday, July 27th. Please record, upload and submit your speech using Studio via the assignment link in this Module. Do not use any other method. When you type in the filename for your speech in Studio use: YOURLASTNAME SECNBR SELLIT. No written outline is necessary. This assignment is worth 30 points.
