Speech 201 2nd Period

DAMN THE MAN! SAVE THE EMPIRE!

Sugar high over, and Josh's words maybe...and only maybe...sinking in, she revisits her righteous teen indignation and decides speeches will be anti-establishment this week. It's time to shake things up and say Damn The Man! There's a reason she went into politics in the first place, you know.

We Want the Airwaves: The Ramones

Anarchy in the UK: Sex Pistols

Baba O'Riley: The Who

School's Out: Alice Cooper

Another Brick in the Wall: Marylin Manson

American Idiot: Green Day

"First. Iwentinlocker327andcameoutlikethismovingon...listen to the news once in a while or talk to your friends. I don't want to talk about it.

So today I want you to listen to these songs. Pay attention to the Ethos, Logos, and Pathos of the lyrics. Then instead of a traditional speech, I want you to take a crack at writing me a song of righteous protest. What makes you mad? What do you take a stand against? What makes you want to stand up and shake your fist and say "Hell no! I'm not going to sit here and take it, ~~you elitist, Harvard fascist missed-the-Dean’s-list-two-semesters-in-a-row Yankee jackass~~ authority figure!!"

She takes a deep breath, and a sip of water, and jumps back in,

"So, listen, learn, and get off your apathetic asses! Only you can effect change. If you wait for someone else to do it, you'll be old and dead and maybe in a gulag. So...no secret I like punk and it's probably going to be the easiest for you, but feel free to write whatever moves you to ACTION."

Nodding sharply, she hits Play. Because this is the only class in the Humanities wing at this hour, it's really, really, reallllly loud.

[If the music bothers Profs. Grissom, Pierson, or Chaucer, please, do come see CJ about it. She's very reasonable.]

InterComm 301 3rd Period

We're gonna talk about senders, and how the ethos of the sender can change
the message. Ethos is the credibility of the speaker, as opposed to Logos which
is the logic of the argument or Pathos which is an appeal to the emotions of the
receiver.

We had some good thoughts yesterday. Maia said 'The sender is the originator of the message and so they can basically decide
how they want the message sent. I mean if they want it clear or not depends on how they word it' and that's a good start, but lets talk today about NONVERBAL communication. Aside from what you say, how does the nonverbal effect the senders ethos?

Having spent some time thinking about what CJ said about him being so uptight, Shep tries very hard not to be mortified over what happened in the bar anymore. He signs in and takes a set not quite as far back as he was yesterday.

"Hey, Shep. Jump on in...sender, non-verbal, message, whathaveyou."

Reaching for something academic to say, he goes with, "Non-verbal messages are what tell us when a person is being sarcastic or euphamistic or whatever. When you're being stared down by your father who's clearly pissed saying, 'Nice grade on your math test,' you know better than to say 'gee thanks,' by his non-verbal message.

Maia signed in and thought about the nonverbal lines of communication. "A person's body language when they are talking to you can send a nonverbal message, like if your talking to them and they cross their hands over their chests it could be seen as a protective against the onslaught of the words. Um, hands at your sides in fists or on your hips while you talking can be defiance or confrontational. The power of nonverbal communication while talking to someone often sends very mixed signals."

"Good, Maia. Very good. Keep going..."

Maia blushed at the encouragement and became unsure of how she wanted to continue. "Well that's um about all I had to say actually on that really...just how you stand and gesture can make an ordinary conversation be a lot more then you perhaps intended it to be when nonverbal communication comes into play."

Boone, looking as if he just got over a ~~fit of OMGRealLifeExplodedIntoBusy~~ cold, comes into class, slightly late. However, he's bearing a latte for CJ.

"Oh, my God! I love you more than chocolate Boone. Tardy totally excused! Jump in wherever, kay?"

"All right," he agrees, handing ~~the hot teacher~~ CJ the coveted drink. "I love you too, I guess." He grins.

"Good. I can tell...coffee is nonverbal love." She grins and resumes the lesson.
