Class 21 covered speeches, a potential participation point opportunity if there is time, and homework assignments. Students were asked to write a self-assessment essay justifying their grade for blog post points, addressing the number of posts made, quality of responses, and timeliness of submissions. The essay should follow a standard format with an introduction, thesis, body paragraphs, potential counterargument, and conclusion. It is due at the last class meeting. Homework included preparing a speech, finishing Essay #4 due at the final meeting, and writing an argument for their blogging grade justification.
