The purpose of the video recording series is to give you multiple opportunities

The purpose of the video recording series is to give you multiple opportunities to be graded while on camera (or in front of your peers if you are taking this class face-to-face). This will help you become more comfortable recording yourself, reduce speech apprehension, and give you ample practice for your final speech.
The purpose of this particular assignment, the Manuscript Recitation, is to help you focus on just being in front of the camera. Please upload the recording of your reading as well as a word doc copy of the original source material.

Manuscript recitation:
“Manuscript speaking is the word-for-word iteration of a written message” (p. 94).

For this assignment you need to:
Pick a song, monologue, speech, or any piece of compelling media, which you will recite for your recording.
You must speak for 1-2 minutes (5pts)
You must follow the framing guidelines (overviewed in this week’s lecture) (5pts)
You must credit the original source by giving its title and the name of the original author at the beginning (5pts)
For students taking this class on campus: You will deliver your manuscript recitation in-person to your instructor and classmates during the weekly class meeting.
For students taking this course online:
Useful hint: You might try an app like capcut to make an onscreen teleprompter of your speech. This will help to give you more natural eye contact and delivery for your reading.
