Topic
Choose a topic that is significant, contemporary, meaningful, and relevant to the audience. Analyze the audience, link the topic to them in a way that will gain and hold attention and interest, and agreement. For Speech 3 (persuasive – belief) the topic should be addressed in a way that allows you to change the way the audience thinks about it.
Format
This outline must be at least 3 pages long and use 12-point font.
Use appropriate coordination and subordination. Use full sentences, including subjects and verbs for the main ideas or main points and the 1st order of subordinate ideas or sub-points. Consistently use either full-sentence or list form for 2nd -order sub-points supporting the same 1st order sub-point. use list form for 3rd order, 4th order, and 5th order sub-points.
Enhance the readability of the outline. Use only one idea per point, only one sentence per point, single-space each point, and double-space vertically between points. Leave a line of white space between each point at every level.
Transitions between major sections and the main points should be provided in the outline. Use transitions to move the audience’s attention from one section to another or from one main point to another.
Use a consistent pattern of indentation. Type main points flush with the left margin. Indent 5 spaces for 1st-order sub-points, 10 spaces for 2nd-order sub-points, 15 spaces for 3rd-order sub-points, 20 spaces for 4th-order sub-points.
Use the following system to label the points in the body:
Main Points: upper case Roman numerals [I, II, III, IV, V]
1st -order sub-points: upper case letters [A, B, C, D, E]
2nd -order sub-points: Arabic numerals [1, 2.3, 4, 5]
3rd -order sub-points: lower-case letters {a, b, c, d, e],
4th -order sub-points: Arabic numerals in parentheses [(1), (2), (3)]
Content
Specific Purpose:
Your specific purpose should consist of the following three parts:
Specific Communication Word (use an infinitive phrase…to inform, to persuade, to explain)
Target Audience (classmates, colleagues, students…)
The Content (how to do something, why one thing is better than the other…)
Thesis (or Central Idea Statement):
This should be one complete sentence that provides an overview of your presentation.
The introduction should gain attention, orient the audience by stating the topic, offer a reason for listening, and preview the body of the speech. The introduction (which may be outlined or written word-for-word) is designed to
gain the attention of the audience;
establish the speaker’s credibility; and
establish rapport, offering a compelling reason for listening; and
orient the audience to your topic/purpose/central idea; and
preview your main points.
Do not say “I will tell the story of ____,” or “I will do X, Y, or Z.” outline or write the story here in the Introduction, such as “Have you ever found yourself repeating mistakes you have made before?” outline or write the question here.
Transitions may link major sections OR main ideas OR subordinate ideas within the body of the speech.
The body must contain 2-5 main points using patterns of organization covered in the textbook; other patterns of organization must have prior approval by the instructor. Each main point must be well supported by 2-5 1st-order sub-points designed to illustrate the main points (examples, illustrations, facts, quotations, etc.) Don’t overload the audience with information. Move from simple to complex ideas. Move from familiar to unfamiliar ideas. Define your terms.
The body develops your ideas, condenses your thinking and research, ensuring that you have done an adequate job of preparation. The entire outline should contain more material than you have time to use in your speech and must be at least 3 pages in length [2 full + 1 partial). You must use two-five (2-5) main ideas and two-five (2-5) subordinate (sub-points) points for each main point or higher-level sub-point.
The conclusion should restate or summarize the main points and communicate a sense of finality (verbally or nonverbally indicate that you have finished talking). You may end with a story or quotation.
The conclusion (which may be outlined or written word-for-word) communicates a sense of finality and should:
signal the end of your speech; and,
recap your main points; and
provide a clincher.
The References reports where you found the information for your speech. There are two general sources of information: your own personal experience and what you have learned from outside sources (reading or interviewing). You must indicate where you obtained your information. You are expected to provide at least five credible sources for this speech.
If some of your information came from your own experience, specify that personal experience in the reference. For example, “I based this speech on water safety totally upon my personal experience as a lifeguard at Norms’ Resort, Cottage Lake, for the seven summers from 1959 until 1965.” Your personal experience will count as only one of five or more sources of information required.
You must include and cite properly (in APA format) at least one source from the Columbia College library database. Do not use Wikipedia as a source of information. However, if you cite electronic sources, provide enough information so that I could duplicate your search. Include at least the author or editor, title, date, publication medium, publisher, and the Universal Resource Locator [URL], which includes protocol, site, path, and file.
Please follow all the directions and don’t go against the directions.

Module 5 Discussion
1 1 unread reply. 1 1 reply.
By no later than 11:59pm TUESDAY, create a video post please respond to at least TWO questions from Chapter 5 and TWO questions from Chapter 6:
Chapter 5
1. Is there anything that is meaningful to you but that you find difficult, if not impossible, to put into words?
2. The text discusses two different levels of misunderstanding, contextual assumptions and verbal communication. Based on your own observations, which of these do you think creates the most problems in intercultural settings? Why? How easy is it to separate these in actual practice?
3. How potent do you believe is the influence of language on our lives? What impact has learning other languages had on your own thought processes?
4. What examples can you think of where people have violated the maxims suggested by Grice? How has their violation impacted the way you understood their message? How do you feel when someone is speaking to others around you in a language you cannot understand?
5. Can you think of an example of gratuitous concurrence in your own life? Have you ever just nodded in agreement with someone even though you could not understand him or her because of language difficulties, but you didn’t want to keep asking the person what he or she had said? How did you feel in that situation? What was the outcome?
6. How do you think calling people by their professional titles, nicknames, terms of endearment or kinship terms affect your interactions with them?
7. If you are a speaker of multiple languages, think about times when you switch from one language to another while interacting with people. With whom are you talking? At what point(s) do you switch from one language to the other? Why do you think you (and others) do that? What is the outcome of code switching?
Chapter 6
1. Do you know anyone who does not adhere to your use of Regulators in conversation? Anyone you are acquainted with who speaks over you or always seems to interrupt in conversations? In what way could you exaggerate your personal use of Regulators to be an example or help that person (or multiple people) learn how to participate in conversations more equally?
2. Can you identify consistent use of Adaptors in people with whom you are close? They are often gestures and other actions you are so familiar with that you may not even recognize an Adaptor in those who are in your intimate circle of friends and family. Is there a gesture that lets you know when someone is upset? Tired? Sad? What are those Adaptors, AND do you notice that you also use them?
3. Substitution and Accentuation are two ways that nonverbal communication are commonly used. What are two examples of each that you commonly use to convey meaning without use of words? Have you been misunderstood?
4. Use of emojis are a type of nonverbal communication. Which do you most commonly use? Any misinterpretations that you cleared up with words, or questioned if your message was received as you intended?
5. Emblems are commonly used in daily life, but not universally understood the same way. What emblem do you use most frequently? Recall an instance when an emblem you used was misunderstood. Describe how you might have clarified your intent or improved your nonverbal communication.
please number which questions you decide to do

Chapter 6
To complete your Key Concepts & Discussion Questions Paper, please do the following:
1. While reading the chapter, list all of the ideas that seem important to understand the reading, provide a page number corresponding with the idea(s), and briefly define/explain why it is important. A minimum number of key ideas is five, but it’s important to recognize there are far more than 5 important ideas per chapter. NOTE THEY SHOULD NOT ALL BE FROM THE SAME SECTION/PAGE/AREA OF THE CHAPTER.
2. Below are four types of questions. Based on the text, you must write at least three questions from three of the four categories listed below (a through d) for each chapter. Feel free to create more, but you must do one from each of the four categories.
a) Question of clarification: Is there something in the reading that didn‘t quite make sense? If so, you might ask a question of clarification, seeking to understand what the author is saying.
b) Question of application: Do you see a way that the material might be apply to a practical situation? Examples might include improving long-distance communication between family members or using Twitter to effectively build social ties. A question of application probes how the material might be applied practically.
c) Question of connection: Do you see a connection between this week‘s readings and last week‘s? A question of connection ties readings together across the course.
d) Question of challenge: Do you think the reading is just way off base? Does something you read in this course, or another communication course, or a real-life experience contradict it? A question of challenge respectfully challenges the text‘s claims.
Provide an answer for each of your questions or, if you are unable to answer your question, a three to five sentence explanation, citing the text, as to why the question is important. See the Successfully Completing Assignments page for more information.
Please number the questions correctly on whichever ones you decide to do

In the news we are constantly hearing about security breaches, invasion of personal privacy, and the increasing prevalence of our digital footprint. The increased availability of digital information presents concerns and challenges of privacy, accuracy, intellectual property rights, security, and censorship. As a global citizen, you need to be aware of these issues and how they impact your life (CO6).

Your instructor will set-up two (2) conversation groups this week in which you will select one topic to discuss which interests you.
Conversation Group: Privacy
Privacy, as it relates to social media, video surveillance, drones, digital footprint or other topics as they relate to digital privacy.
How does the electronic environment impact one’s right to privacy?
Conversation Group: Security
Security, as it relates to social media, video surveillance, drones, digital footprint or other topics as they relate to digital privacy.
How does the electronic environment impact one’s personal security?

Using the Richard G. Trefry Library or another credible source, locate and read a quality article regarding digital privacy or security. Be sure to provide attribution for your source in the forum. As you are formulating your initial post consider the following questions:
What is the issue? Tell us about it as if we know nothing on the topic.
What are the pros and cons of the issue?
Why is the issue important?
How might the issue impact your life?

Article EvaluationSummarize the article BRIEFLY.
Identify the research problem.
Analyze the article, examining the strength of its
thesis/hypothesis, method of investigation, analysis of data, and conclusions.
How does this research fit into the big picture? Connect your article with the lessons from the week or the course as a whole.
Discuss your educated opinion on the research.
Can you apply this research to “real life?”

ESSAY ASSIGNMENT
The learning objectives of this assignment are to:
– link a real-life observation related to syntax to relevant literature
– Must be able to research appropriate studies that relate to your observation
– Must be able in APA style guide.
Section 1 – Description of a recent real-life observation that pertains to syntax in some way.
Section 1: Observation. The first page of your paper (approximately 250 – 300 words) should describe an experience you had since the beginning of the semester, during which you observed something that had to do with syntax. Here are some examples:
You might have a conversation with someone who speaks a language other than English. You could discuss differences in syntax between that language and English, or discuss how some syntactical forms are harder to learn in English because it is different.
You might observe a syntactic difference or even disorder if you are doing any clinic observations. This would be an appropriate observation to use as a starting point for your paper. Remember, however, to apply relevant policies of confidentiality in all of your communication. (If you are doing observations, you will know what this policy is.)

You might be having a conversation and notice one or more syntactic “errors” or differences that occur in natural conversation. This could be something you said or something someone else said.

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.
