Public Speaking (Summer 2019)/Impromptu Thesis

The impromptu list changes every quarter because it's generated by the students. You will submit 2 thesis statements. I review these and use them to build the list that everyone will speak from. I can't use every thesis submitted, but I try to include as many as I can. Please review the impromptu assignment description as this is an associated homework.

Procedure
The process is designed to build a common list of impromptu thesis statements. Here are the stages.


 * 1) You propose two thesis statements.
 * 2) I review the list and build a single list of about 50 thesis statements.
 * 3) I post the impromptu list on the website.at least a week before the speaking round begins.
 * 4) You don't know which two thesis statements will be on the slip of paper you draw, but there won't be a thesis that isn't on that list.

Note: No one in your section will speak on the same thesis. Once a topic is drawn in section, it's removed from the pool.

Requirements
Your two thesis statements must:
 * deal with a UW issue
 * include an agent and a mandate (as discussed in lecture)

Submission
In the box below please list your two thesis statements.

Sample (don't use these as your submission)

 * 1) The UW should ban the use of laptops in all classrooms.
 * 2) The UW should not allow professors to assign textbooks they authored or co-authored.
