AU Communications Speech Critique Question
Description
Historical Speech Critique
A true understanding of the elements involved in oral presentations is evident not only in the ability to create and present a speech, but also in the ability to recognize the elements associated with oral presentations in the speeches of others. When we see short sound bites of speeches in the news media, rarely do we understand the context in which they are presented. Therefore, we are unable to truly critically evaluate them.
Your oral presentation for the week is a critique of the speech that you viewed for the Week 1 Assignment. You will use the classroom video tool to deliver your oral critique. This will assist you with exploring the different conventions of presentations and will also be another opportunity for you to demonstrate your own speaking skills. Please review the elements of the communication process that you discussed in your Week 1 Assignment and provide an oral critique of those elements in this presentation. Please refer to Chapter 9 of your text “Evaluating Speeches” for perspective on your Historical Speech Critique. You may also wish to use this form (Links to an external site.) as a resource in preparing your critique.
Your speech critique should be well structured and should include an introduction, body (discussion of the questions), and a conclusion about your overall assessment of the speech. Please review and be mindful of the suggestions made in the Making Great Video section found in Chapter 8 of your textbook. The critique should be between three and five minutes in length. This oral critique will be available for both the instructor and your fellow classmates to view.

Important Note: All submissions require an upload of the video to the classroom. Submission of a link to a video does not fulfill the submission requirements.
