Note: This assignment is Extra Credit, and is therefore NOT required in this course.
During the discussion of NLP, we did a ‘modeling exercise’. In class we used someone we respected… for this assignment, we will do modeling for public speaking.
You are to select one of the following speeches:
Ronald Reagan’s 1988 Republican National Convention Speech ( http://www.sweetspeeches.com/s/1251-ronald-reagan-farewell-address-at-the-republican-national-convention " http://www.sweetspeeches.com/s/1251-ronald-reagan-farewell-address-at-the-republican-national-convention ) Roughly 48 minutes
OR
Bill Clinton’s 2000 Democratic National Convention speech ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k4B17VkjkKM " https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k4B17VkjkKM ) Roughly 40 minutes
These two former Presidents were highly regarded as very good orators (speakers)… you will list what they do very well as speakers. You then rate YOURSELF on a scale of 1-10 on how well YOU do those things… then for each item (5-10 items), you should write a few sentences on how YOU could improve in that area.
For an example, please look at the example provided on Moodle.
NOTE: You are NOT to simply select the same items on the modeling example… please actually watch either President Reagan or Clinton, come up with a list of things you find make them good speakers, rate YOURSELF and how YOU can improve in each area!
