For this writing assignment, each student will evaluate and analyze the presentation style of an out-of class presentation, which must be attended in person.

Acceptable presentations for this assignment include IUP campus presentations and other local presentations (with the approval of the instructor). All presentations viewed for this assignment must be approved by the instructor. These are in person presentations; online or remote presentations are not acceptable (such as viewing a presentation on YouTube).

This assignment is due at 5L:00pm on the assigned due date and submitted via D2L. Emailed or hardcopy assignments

will not be accepted.

Write a four to five page narrative paper (typed, double-spaced, 1 inch margins, 12pt, Times New Roman) commenting on the presentation or speech in each of the areas listed below. Indicate positive and/or negative aspects of each, and how they enhanced or detracted from the presentation.

Do not write the narrative in first person. REMEMBER - this is a critical evaluation, not a rundown of what the presenter said.

Spend very little space detailing WHAT they said, and more space detailing HOW they said it.

Do not hesitate to be critical, if you believe that it is warranted. Answer each point in the order listed, using the bold headings to organize the content.

1. Background: Identify the title of the presentation, the speaker(s), and the sponsor of the presentation. 2. Location: List the date, time and location of the presentation. Describe the location/setting of the debate.

What impact did this aspect have on the presentation? 3. Content: Identify the purpose, thesis statement, and main points of the presentation. What was the

presenter’s goal? How successful was the presenter in achieving his or her intended goal? How difficult was it for you to determine the purpose, thesis statement, and main points of the presentation? To what degree did the presenter have the credentials and the knowledge to speak on this topic? What did you learn from the presentation?

4. Organization: Identify the organizational strategy used. How well was the presentation organized? What kinds of transitions were used?

5. Evidence: Identify the sources of evidence for the presentation. What sources were quoted or referenced? Were they accurate, objective, and relevant to the topic?

6. Media: Identify the types of media used by the presenter. How did the media enhance of detract from the presentation? If no media was used, what could have been used to enhance the presentation and why?

7. Audience: How apparent is it that the presenter understood his or her audience? To what degree was the topic of interest to the intended audience? In what ways can you determine that the presenter had done any audience research? In what ways did the presenter attempt the engage the audience, keep the audience interested, or use examples the audience could relate to?

8. Presenter: Comment on the presenter’s voice, non-verbal communication, eye contact, and general appearance. Comment on positive and negative aspects of his or her public speaking style. What observations can you make about the speaker’s level of preparation, research, and knowledge of the topic being discussed? Did the speaker have any issues with being understood by the audience, such as an accent, regional dialect, lack of volume, pace, etc? Provide examples both positive and negative.

9. Overall: In conclusion, give your overall evaluation of this presenter and his or her style of presentation. What (if any) things might have been done to make the presentation more successful?

Piraino 7

Each student will research and deliver a 2-3 minute introduction about him/herself pertaining to his or her own names (first, middle [if applicable], and last). The specific purpose is:

“I want my audience to remember me by both of my names FOREVER!”

Students will employ research methods such as interviewing (yourself, parents, grandparents, etc.) and formal research (library or/and Internet) to uncover the history and etymology of your first and last names.

The introduction must be two to three minutes in length (plus or minus 10 seconds)

Should include the following: o Your name(s) o Family history of the names (where they came from) o Etymology of the names (the actual meanings) o Other pertinent background information pertaining to the names. o SOME ENTERTAINMENT VALUE! A relevant anecdote, nicknames, etc. to help make your

introduction more entertaining and meaningful. Media/Students May Use:

One - two regular-sized note cards

A prop, related item, etc. (optional)

No electronic presentations, etc. Presentation Focus/ Skill: Attention Grabber/Introduction

A well-prepared attention grabbing statement, story, etc. to begin the speech

Not simply “Ummm….my name is…” Adherence to time limits: Because of the number of presentations required within this course, all time limits must be met.

Running over or under the specified time will negatively affect your grade for the assignment (you will be stopped). Accordingly, required information that you do not thus provide will be subtracted from your final grade (e.g. conclusion, etc.) Point Break Down and Elements

Students must prepare and deliver a two-person 13-15 minute persuasive presentation designed to present opposing viewpoints and to convince the class to adopt one of the presenters' points-of-view.

The topic must be socially or politically significant and must be supported by appropriate research material. Topics must be approved by the instructor and may not be duplicated, and partners must vary from Presentation #4. The successful presentation will be substantiated with documented facts, statistics, and logic, and include at least three academic sources (NO Wikipedia, blogs, etc.). The successful presenter will have credibility, authority, and show a thorough knowledge and understanding of the topic. Structure: You may structure the presentation as you deem best. For example, teams might decide to present the entire "pro" side and then the entire "con" side, or might prefer to alternate between one topic "pro" followed by one topic "con," go back to "pro," and back to "con," etc. However you decide to present, just be prepared and know whose turn it is to speak at all times. Resources: At the time of your presentation, you must have a FIVE source reference list (in APA or MLA style). You must cite at least FIVE “objective” sources for this presentation (as a pair). No more than one source can be a dot com web site. Other web sites may be used if they are from educational or government organizations. Non-profit web sites may be used if they provide objective information related to your topic. The remaining FOUR should be IUP database sources, from locations such as EbscoHost, etc. (scholarly sources). Instructions for media: The presentation must include at least THREE forms of media

One type of media must be a presentation for the class. The PowerPoint or Prezi must INCLUDE slides for each side of the argument.

One type of media must be a chart, graph, etc., created by the student, and labeled accordingly. Information must be appropriately cited.

Remaining form is the responsibility of the student.

NOTE ON MEDIA:

Graphs, videos, and web sites linked in the presentation can count toward this requirement, but photographs do not unless they are photographs you have taken.

All media must be prepared according the class instructions and must be professionally produced and appropriate for the topic being presented.

No media used for this presentation may be hand-written or cut and pasted from magazines, etc.


Slides ALSO submitted via D2L before class time Presentation Focus/ Skill: Organization of evidence

Purposeful information – Use of statistics and other forms of evidence as discussed in class

ONE or more charts, graphs, etc., created by the student (for each side of the argument) representing pertinent information and persuasive material

Adherence to time limits: Because of the number of presentations required within this course, all time limits must be met. All presentations will be timed and recorded, and students will be instructed to stop when they run past the allotted time. Running over or under the specified time will negatively affect your grade for the assignment (you will be stopped). Accordingly, required information that you do not thus provide will be subtracted from your final grade (e.g. conclusion, etc.)
