Speech Comm
(ooc: sorry about yesterday, the real world couldn't be avoided. Also, anyone who asked for enrollment is enrolled...I just haven't updated my roster yet.)
I'd like you to begin writing speeches. You will deliver them to the class. Since it's the first one, they should be about 5 minutes long and try to persuade us to your side of something you feel passionate about. For example: PEanut Butter is the foulest substance on the earth and should be made illegal. And now I convince you.
3 of your best tools are ethos, pathos, and logos. These are Greek terms. Each of these is an appeal to a particular way people think. Ethos has to do with the speakers' character, and therefore, authority regarding the subject. Logos is how logically sound your argument is, and Pathos brings in emotional appeal. For example, I might make you hate peanut butter by making you sad that little children are dying from allergies to it. Or something.
You have a lot of freedom on this, and they are short. So go.
(ooc: again, a simple "assignment done" will suffice)
I got the feeling I lost a lot of you with that lecture from Friday, so let's talk about it. Prepare to take notes.
How we communicate is based on who we are, who we perceive we are, who we are communicating with, how we perceive that receiver, and the mode via which we are communicating...now, visual media vs face to face communication...
*CJ faces the board and begins to draw diagrams to go with her lecture, oblivious to what the class is doing*
*Unless gunfire or physical violence breaks out*
