HW 43 - Elevator speech

Re: your culminating project (42) - due Thursday &/or Friday April 6 or April 7.

You should script and practice your speech so that you can deliver it with the assistance of a few reminders on an index card and your memory.

Find ways of making it powerful, fascinating, funny, suspenseful, &/or moving.

The speech must be between 1 & 2 minutes long - it will be delivered in class beginning Wednesday. Your goals;

1. Communicate the essence of your project
2. Interest people in further exploring your project by looking on your blog
3. Craft a compelling self-presentation around your own work using humor, pathos, suspense, passion, etc. (Use of a prop encouraged but optional.)

The rubric for your speech will include;
1. Did you effectively engage the limbic systems of your audience?
2. Did you effectively communicate the essence/main-idea of your project?
3. Did you effectively interest people in reading more about your project?
