ANNOUNCEMENT: Late with homework? You can earn
70% credit if you turn work in within 24 hours and 50% if you turn it in
within 1 week. After 1 week, however, the grade turns to a
zero unless you've been out for an extended EXCUSED absence. Talk to
me.

Welcome to Oral Communication class. I maintain this website for you. Please
be sure to check out the pages listed below with numbers beside them; other
pages are useful but optional.
1. The Topic Ideas page will help get you started if you can't think of
anything to talk about.
2. You might check out the Homework Due page and bookmark it for your
reference if you prefer to submit your homework by e-mail. You can also add
your e-mail and be notified every time a homework assignment is given.
3. The Class Notes page will help you keep your notes current if you've
been absent.
4. The Calendar will give you a "heads-up" for upcoming project due
dates.
5. The Bibliography page will show you how to document (prove you've
done) your research.
6. The Rough Draft Forms page can be printed, filled out, and turned in
for the rough draft grade.
7. Please read the FAQ page for important aspects of our class. Ex. -
how grades work, what Amnesty Day is about, and why reading your speech from a
script is a bad idea.
Optional pages to check out:
*The Sample Speech page is just what it sounds like: an example of how
to organize the project we're working on or will be working on soon.
*The Grading Criteria page will show you what I'll be looking for in
your speech.
*The Student Survey page is a chance for you to help me become a better
teacher. Please wait until the second 9-weeks to fill this out.
*About The Teacher page tells you why I am the way I am. ;)
