Public Speaking Assignment

Public Speaking
Your first public speaking project will be a Power Point presentation

about you. You will be given a list of questions that you have to answer. You
will answer each question completely. And you will use a Power Point
presentation to present your answers to the class.
You will be graded on:

-thoroughness (did you answer all of the questions completely?)
-neatness and organization of your presentation (7 rule) (you
must have
some sort of design template)
-good public speaking skills (eye contact, calmness, even tone of
voice)
-your behavior during other peoples presentation
To determine who goes when, I will draw names. If youre not ready when I
draw your name, you will automatically lose 5 points. You will go
eventually so you might as well go when youre called.
You can either use 20 notecards OR use one full piece of notebook paper.
