These speeches will begin on Monday 24 January.
On Wednesday 19th January you will ‘get
to know’ the person sitting behind you through interviewing (unless of course
you are the last person in the row then you will interview the person in front
or next to you). Depending on the time available in class you will gather
enough information to give a speech about the person in class or you will need
to get their email address or see them between the end of class on Tuesday and
the beginning of class on Thursday. Have notes either in an outline format or
3x5 cards. You can be factual or fictitious but you need to be persuasive.
Follow roughly the following example.
- Firstly
you must say who your audience is. Feel free to be creative. For example,
state that your audience is your classmates, a parole board, the American
people, Albany City Council, business hiring panel, sports team…
- Give
your name (this must be the one real part as I can not note you have done
this unless I have your real name)
- I would
like to introduce ‘Cardinal Bush’ – here you can say what the person’s
studies are if the audience is your classmates or why the person you are
presenting should be released from prison (if the audience is a parole
board) or any other identifying thing.
- Give
your speech. For example in a presentation to the Albany City Council you
could say, “I present you with Cardinal Bush. Bush lives in Washington
D.C. and is an aerosol artist who
believes piecing enhances foreign urban landscapes…. As an artist and activist, urban
capitalist rapper Cardinal Bush’s piecing brings life to…. In his youth the Cardinal was just a toy
tagger running with a crew of environmentalistic greenie degenerate democrats in a
hood ruined by rampart materialism. Now Bush is a well sought after man of
piece (peace from piece has been a long running campaign from Pope Bush to
Cardinal Bush). I appeal to the
City Council to provide DJ Cardinal Bush with a blank check so he is able
to obtain the resources…
