Communication
deliver an informative speech about the history, traditions, or
customs that are significant to your own culture, or a culture that fascinates
you. When devising your speech, you may consider how a culture’s traditions
illustrate values, beliefs, or norms. The speech is not limited to a reflection
of an ethnic background. You may feel more aligned with a co-culture that
reflects more of your own personal beliefs. A co-culture is a social group
within a national culture that contains its own distinctive patterns of beliefs,
values, and norms. For example: skaters, surfers, hip hop, etc. The subject
of culture also includes our beliefs, philosophies, and expression of self and
ideas. For example, martial arts, dance, etc.
Requirements:
1. You must have a typed delivery outline, neatly written note cards and bibliography on the day of your speech. You will pass around the one page outline and bibliography to your peers
before your speech. The outline must follow the guidelines based on textbook and
lecture and will contain a bibliography in MLA or APA format.
2. Interviews can count as sources. At least three
sources are required.
3. Visual Aid Required (NO POWER POINTS).
4. Your speech will be 5 minutes. Have fun, explore, and learn new information
about culture.
5. Although this assignment was designed to give you space to express yourself
with less structure, this does not mean your speech should lack organization or
depth.
