== Requirements == === Time === You have five to seven minutes to deliver the speech. Your assignment grade will be lowered by five points for every 45 seconds you speak under or over the target time range. Going under time incurs penalties. * A 4:15 speech would receive no grade penalty * A 4:05 speech would receive a five point penalty * A 3:15 speech would receive a ten point penalty, and so on. Going over time carries penalties. * A 7:45 speech would receive no grade penalty * A 7:55 speech would receive a five point penalty * A 8:45 speech would receive a ten point penalty, and so on. === Values === This is a tough speech. You need to find the right values that help you best make your case for your topic. Praising George Washington for being punctual misses the mark; that value isn’t a core value that enables you to make the best case. === Elaboration === This speech is stylistically written, but it’s still about stuff. You need to root your discussion of the subject and the values in some type of support. This might be stories, quotations, and facts. But you do need to anchor your discussion in some type of elaboration. === Style === This speech should sound different. We will spend a great deal of time working on stylistic devices. These allow you to write eloquently. This is your opportunity to practice your hand at rich language use. These speech need to be written in a higher style. === Manuscript preparation === You may use a manuscript marked up in whatever way you find best. We’ll spend time in class talking about how you might elect to mark your manuscript to aid with your delivery. === Fluidity and style === By style/fluidity, I mean how well you perform a line. Does it sound natural? Does it include appropriate pitch, pauses, and volume? Is it easy to understand? We’ll speak to each one of these issues in class. The assignment is to help you perform well-written sentences with vibrancy and clarifying prosody. === Podium and movement === Our primary focus is on the sound of your sentences, but we are also looking at how we you interact with a podium. I try to avoid using podiums whenever I can, but they are certainly a fixture of modern speaking life. We’ll spend time in class talking about how the podium can help the performance without reducing your sense of dynamism.
