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.

This assignment focuses on interpersonal and relational concepts. For this assignment, you will select your favorite interpersonal pair from a movie or TV show and analyze their relationship. This pair can be romantic (like Meredith and Derek from Grey’s Anatomy or Landon and Jamie from A Walk to Remember), friendship (like Leonard and Sheldon from The Big Bang Theory or Tony Stark and Steve Rogers from The Avengers), or family (like Claire and Mitchell from Modern Family or Peter Parker and Aunt May in Spider-man). Be sure to select a pair you’re familiar with (or better yet – a movie or TV show that you have access to watch!) so that you can fully examine the relationship. In your paper, you will describe the relationship, talk about costs and benefits, discuss self-disclosure, and apply one of the interpersonal theories from Chapter 10 to the pair.

The Paper:
Briefly introduce the pair and describe their relationship. Who are they to each other, how did they meet, in what context does their relationship take place? What type of interpersonal relationship is this – romantic, friendship, family?
How does this relationship fit our definition of “interpersonal relationship”? What benefits does each person experience from being in this relationship? What costs does each person experience from bring in this relationship?
Discuss the role of self-disclosure in the formation and maintenance of this relationship. Choose a specific instance of significant self-disclosure for this discussion. Describe the interaction – what information was revealed, what was the reaction? What impact does this self-disclosure have on the relationship?
Select one of the following interpersonal theories from Chapter 10: Relational Dialectics Theory; Uncertainty Reduction Theory; Friendship/Romantic Relationship Development; Relationship Culture; Style of loving. Then:
Briefly describe the theory, including key terms and main claims.
Apply your chosen theory to the same specific interaction as you used in (3). What do you learn about your pair through using this theory? Do the interactions between this pair fit the claims and predictions of the theory you selected? Why or why not? Based on your chosen theory, what do you think this relationship will be like in the future?
Use at least two external scholarly sources from academic journals to help explain your concepts/theory and illustrate the relationships in the movie. (You can use the textbook, but it won’t count as one of the two external scholarly sources).
