Personal Identity Presentation

Purpose

To develop skills in:

  • Public speaking, self-discovery, and self-disclosure.
  • Speaking about your topic in a way that is respectful to different points of views that audience members may have.
  • As a listener, recognizing and adapting to diverse viewpoints and backgrounds with an open mind.
  • SURVIVE! J

Description

In this presentation you will further explore communication and the self by developing a speech that reveals a summary of a personal identity (self-concept) you possess, and 1 to 2 ways on how it impacts your communication. In 2-3 minutes you will identify 2-3 main ideas, and support those points with descriptions, explanations, facts, illustrations, anecdotes, metaphors, etc. You will also include an interesting introduction and conclusion to help the audience anticipate and retain the important information you will offer. If at all possible, I would like you to conclude with a quote, moral you hold, or short lesson you’ve learned that best represents your identity.

Avoid simply relating a few superficial/general facts (i.e. I’m a student) or trying to tell a complete life story. Your speech should reveal something personal about you and your identity and how it affects your communication.

You will use at least 1 term from the reading material (textbook) in this speech and have at least 2 credible sources (at least one of which must be the textbook). You will submit a full-sentence formal outline on the first day of speeches, and speak from a key-word outline during your assigned speaking slot.

This Presentation will take place in-class, Tuesday February 28, 2017.
