Group Speech
Here we are in the home stretch. You all have two major assignments to go...
For the group speech, you will do a speech analyzing the media in one way or another. It is time to work together as a group. This assignment should particularly engage chapter 13. However, it is important to be aware of the content in chapters 10 and 11 when working as a group. You will have next week to get together in your groups and devise a plan.
Here are some ideas:
Do a mock reality show
Do a newscast
Do a version of one of the programs on CNN or Headline News
Do a roundtable discussion
Some ideas of the past that worked well:
Red Carpet Interviews
Talk show formats
Game show scenarios
Reality shows
I want to you to consider what the mass media means in your life and the different ways that you use it in your life. What are the pros and cons? What are some of the controversies? There are tons of issues concerning the media in our lives.
Here are some ideas:
Facebooking and My spacing as a means of interpersonal comm in mass comm
Credibility of material found online
Effects of videogames and online games
Online predators
ONline advertising vs. offline advertising
Interviews
How public opinion is created
the internet as a new mass media
The media is everywhere and very important to communication. I think it is worth spending some time on and I think you all will have fun with this!!!!

Film Analysis
For this assignment, you will work individually.
Directions: I ask that you all choose a film that you will critique using all of the material this semester. The film must deal with intrapersonal, interpersonal, and group communication. You will write an evaluation of the film in terms of the recognition of the concepts discussed in class and in the chapters. This is an opportunity for you all to really express yourselves and let me know how you have received this class. In addition, you are required to find at least two other critiques of the film and compare or contrast against your own views. Lastly, I do want to know why this movie is significant to you as an individual.
That means there are three parts to this assignment:
1. Why is this movie significant to you?
2. How does it incorporate material from class? ( At least 3 concepts from each unit!)
3. What do others (critics) think of this film and how does that meet your opinions?
(please be specific in your analysis!!)
3-5 pages double- spaced. Make sure to cite your sources.

Please note!!
Hey gangs!!
A couple of reminders for you: Make sure that speech topics have been approved and turnin a hard copy of persuasive speech outline by Thursday, 19th!! Again, we will meet in class to collect speech outlines and discuss any issues or questions that you may have over the upcoming speech or interpersonal projects.
Do not forget: Include all 3 proofs in your speech ( logos, ethos, and pathos)
Make sure that you have 3 sources and make sure that you are meeting your criteria for your library resource, interview, and survey if you do not have them already!
Also, make sure that your argument is informed and critical by showing more than one side of the argument. It is always more persuasive if we as an audience know the whole story before making a decision.
Lastly, do not forget to frame your argument and if you have an emotional connection it is usually good to start with that and gain immediate attention.
Please email me with any questions or concerns!!
