Assignment: Oral Communication

Speeches Content

Aligned Objectives

1. Deliver a recorded, informative, extemporaneous speech utilizing effective delivery techniques and maintain audience awareness.
2. Deliver a refined outline of the speech with a strong thesis and organizational style.

Purpose

Students will deliver their first refined speech assignment informing their audience about their chosen career path. They will identify and explain how oral communication will play a role in their careers or professional positions.

Instructions

For your first speech assignment, you will present a 3-5 minute speech informing your audience about the role oral communication plays in your chosen career or current professional interests. If you are undecided about your future career or do not hold a professional role yet, consider the various roles you hold at the university. Are you involved in academic or social organizations? Do you volunteer in the community? These types of roles also require elements of public/oral communication. You may use Zoom or PowerPoint to record your presentation. Once your video is recorded, you will need to upload the file to YouTube and share the link within your assignment. Please do not upload the video file directly to Blackboard.

The purpose of this speech is to inform by discussing the significance and/or interesting or surprising facts. Consider how your experiences surprised you (e.g., "I was surprised to learn that I would need oral communication skills in computer science because..."). Do not try to persuade or convince the audience of what you believe. In addition, you are tasked with gathering three resources (articles, interviews, presentations, etc.) that support your claims. Be sure to include these sources in your Bibliography.
