Inspirational Speech - getting started.

The Inspirational Speech (The memorized portion) 

This assignment is meant to help you learn to focus and challenge your brain.

Learning Objectives:

• Learn to identify a variety of speech tactics used in your chosen speech
• Learn to “hear” what a good speech sounds like by memorizing it
• Learn to apply what you have learned to your own speech organization for the next speech on inspiration. 

1. Choose a speech for the offerings below.

Here are some speeches to choose from. 

These are speeches by women (there are never enough). 

2. Do a puke about the speech you chose:

• What you do like about the speech?
• What words or phrases speak to you?
• What about the speech's time in history make it important to you?
• What is it about the speaker that appeals to you?

3. Watch this video about memorization.

4. For Monday, based on your puke write a rationalization about the speech you have chosen and the answers to these questions in a narrative (Imagine you are meeting with me at Starbucks and you are telling me about this speech and why you chose it.) This narrative should be about 500 words. Please send it by class time (8:00 a.m.) on Monday.

5. Monday we will have a Zoom class with Dr. Matt Corr who will talk with us about memorizing things. I will send you the link before our class.
