PUBLIC SPEAKING:
You will log on to WWW.TED.COM and watch a number of speeches that you find interesting. Choose three (3) of your favorite and write a formal 3-5 page paper (double-spaced, APA format) comparing and contrasting the style, delivery, organization, and effectiveness of the three speeches.
This assignment will include: 1. A clear introduction, body and conclusion 2. Name of each speaker and delivery date of their speech 3. Detailed analysis of similarities and differences between the three speeches, noting in particular style, delivery, organization, and effectiveness 4. Multiple references to concepts and information in the textbooks 5. Your opinion of which of the three speeches was the best and why

Late papers are subject to the following penalty: For each calendar day a paper is late a 10% deduction is applied. 3 days late = 30% penalty.
All written work must utilize standard source citation format for acknowledging source material. Use the APA citation format. Be sure to acknowledge directly quoted material as well as general ideas taken from outside sources. Failure to follow these rules in either written or oral presentation form constitutes plagiarism.

You may end up having to commit certain parts of the speech to your memory, occasionally having to read a note that you made in your notes or cards, you may have to throw in some statements that are of humor, or even make some impromptu remarks as you go on. Whenever the delivery style seems flexible, it will portray the speech maximized and simply continue to evolve, and this will make you feel comfortable…………………………….….
