ANNOUNCEMENT: Need help with homework? Find me in the gym lobby before school on Thursday mornings from 7:50-8:20. If you'd like to make up late work for 70% credit instead of 50% credit, show up on Thursday and we'll get the work done for the past week. After 1 week, however, the grade turns to a zero.

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. ;)
