Speech Title: A creative title will add to audience interest.
General Purpose: Is it to inform? To persuade? To entertain? To mark a special occasion?
Specific Purpose: A specific statement of what you expect to accomplish with your speech - your desired outcome.
Introduction: Grabs the attention of the audience, presents a topic of the speech and tells the audience the major points of your speech.
A. Attention Getter: grab the attention of the audience- ideas include:
Use a famous quotation; tell a story, real or hypothetical; pose questions, rhetorical or directed; make a startling statement; use suspense; make a personal reference; use humor
B. Thesis Statement: The thesis is a single sentence that summarizes your message. Every other part of your speech should support your thesis statement.
Credibility: Somewhere early in the presentation, typically after the thesis statement, but before the preview statement, it will be important to establish credibility as a speaker.
Credibility can be established through reference to your own expertise on the topic and/or through making verbal reference to the sources of your support. This persuades the audience that you are "trustworthy" enough to speak about the subject, which is critical to your success.
You should continue to make references to your credibility throughout the speech to maintain that perception, but it is most important near the start. Body: Contains the main points of your speech and is where you focus on the details; here your intent is to provide all the necessary evidence to explain and support your points.
Preview Statement: Here you preview your main points, which should be stated using parallel language.
Tie to the audience: Somewhere early in the presentation, typically after the preview statement, but before the first main point, it will be important to tie the topic to the audience. Why should they be interested in what you have to say? Why is it important to them?
You should continue to tie the material to your audience throughout the presentation to maintain the importance of the material, but it is most important near the start.
A. Main Point #1: You should have between 2 and 5 main points in the body of your speech, which will be supported by the subordinate points below.

Definition: A presentation is the process of presenting a topic to an audience. It is typically a
demonstration, introduction, lecture, or speech meant to inform, persuade, inspire, motivate, or to
build good will or to present a new idea or product.
Planning Your Presentation
Preparing a presentation can be an overwhelming experience if you allow it to be one. The
strategies and steps below are provided to help you break down what you might view as a large
job into smaller, more manageable tasks.
Step 1: Analyze your audience
The first step in preparing a presentation is to learn more about the audience to whom you'll be
speaking. It's a good idea to obtain some information on the backgrounds, values, and interests of
your audience so that you understand what the audience members might expect from your
presentation.
Step 2: Select a topic
Next, if possible select a topic that is of interest to the audience and to you. It will be much easier
to deliver a presentation that the audience finds relevant, and more enjoyable to research a topic
that is of interest to you.

What is a effective presentation?
A effective presentation makes the best use of the relationship between the presenter and the audience. It takes full consideration of the audience’s needs in order to capture their interest, develop their understanding, inspire their confidence and achieve the presenter’s objectives.
Careful planning is essential.
Seven stages in planning a presentation
1. Preparation
Many factors affect the design of your presentation. A powerful presenter will acknowledge and address each of the following:
· objectives;
· audience;
· venue;
· remit.
Objectives
Why you are making your presentation? Bear in mind what you want to achieve and what you want your audience to take away with them. Once you have decided upon your objectives, you are in a much better position to make strategic decisions about the design and tone of your presentation. For example, a presentation to a seminar group might require a balanced
argument, whereas a charity appeal might require a more creative approach. Ask yourself:
· what do you want your audience to have understood?
· what action do you want your audience to take following your presentation?
· how can you best design your presentation to meet your objectives?
Audience
Your audience will have a variety of different experiences, interests and levels of knowledge. A powerful presenter will need to acknowledge these and prepare for and respond to them accordingly. Ask yourself:
· how much will your audience already know about your topic?
· how can you link new material to things they might already understand?
· will you need to win them over to a particular point of view?
You may not be able to answer these questions for each member of your audience but you should have enough information to ensure that you have targeted your material at the right level for their needs. This might involve avoiding technical jargon or explaining abstract concepts with clear practical examples. If you fail to consider your audience’s needs, you will fail to appeal to their interest and imagination.
Venue
Where will you be making your presentation? What will the room be like? What
atmosphere will the physical conditions create? A large lecture theatre might create a formal atmosphere. Similarly, a seminar room might create a less formal tone. Ask yourself:
· what kind of atmosphere do you wish to create?
· how might the room arrangement affect your relationship with the audience?
· can you do anything to change the arrangement of the room to suit your
objectives?
· what audio-visual aids can you use?

· Your ability to find and incorporate a quote in your essay to support your thesis
· Your ability to cite the quote in APA format
· Your ability to articulate your ideas grammatically
Overview
A summary/response is a natural consequence of the reading and annotating process. In this type of essay, writers capture the controlling idea and the supporting details of a text and respond by agreeing or disagreeing and then explaining why.
The first step after active reading is writing a summary. Writing summaries is a common practice in college. They pull together the general conclusions and approaches of experts who have done research in a particular subject. Summaries should be written in your own words although you could include short quoted excerpts if you decide the author’s or speaker’s words summarize a point most precisely. Try to use pertinent quotations from the source, working them in gracefully where appropriate. Probably the best way to write a summary is ask yourself the following questions:
--What issues are described, explained or resolved in this work? --What is the controlling idea?
--What are the supporting details?
--What results or conclusions are made?
--What opinion does the author want readers to keep in mind about this topic? --What information does the author use to convince readers?
After you have written your summary, double-check to be sure that all facts you included are correct.
Summary Writing Guidelines
To move from an outline to a draft of a summary, follow these guidelines:
1. a) State the author’s name and the title of the text you’re summarizing in the first 1-2 sentences of the summary.
2. b) Express the author’s main idea in your own words in the first 1-2 sentences of the summary (no more than three words in a row from the text you’re summarizing.).
Some people are feel uncomfortable to express their views to other. It is also a type of hesitation. Here are the best tips for reduce the fear of public speaking and get bold.So take a look at these ideas of public speaking

· Your ability to find and incorporate a quote in your essay to support your thesis
· Your ability to cite the quote in APA format
· Your ability to articulate your ideas grammatically
Overview
A summary/response is a natural consequence of the reading and annotating process. In this type of essay, writers capture the controlling idea and the supporting details of a text and respond by agreeing or disagreeing and then explaining why.
The first step after active reading is writing a summary. Writing summaries is a common practice in college. They pull together the general conclusions and approaches of experts who have done research in a particular subject. Summaries should be written in your own words although you could include short quoted excerpts if you decide the author’s or speaker’s words summarize a point most precisely. Try to use pertinent quotations from the source, working them in gracefully where appropriate. Probably the best way to write a summary is ask yourself the following questions:
--What issues are described, explained or resolved in this work? --What is the controlling idea?
--What are the supporting details?
--What results or conclusions are made?
--What opinion does the author want readers to keep in mind about this topic? --What information does the author use to convince readers?
After you have written your summary, double-check to be sure that all facts you included are correct.
Summary Writing Guidelines
To move from an outline to a draft of a summary, follow these guidelines:
1. a) State the author’s name and the title of the text you’re summarizing in the first 1-2 sentences of the summary.
2. b) Express the author’s main idea in your own words in the first 1-2 sentences of the summary (no more than three words in a row from the text you’re summarizing.).
Some people are feel uncomfortable to express their views to other. It is also a type of hesitation. Here are the best tips for reduce the fear of public speaking and get bold.So take a look at these ideas of public speaking

Your Final Project from this course will enable you to compare cultural viewpoints toward death and dying in Western society to those in other parts of the world.
Final Project Information
Overview
Your Final Project will be a medium-length essay in which you address the cultural viewpoints toward death and dying in Western society and compare these to the perspectives toward death and dying in other parts the world. As the course content will point out, much about the Western response to death and dying amplifies the process of grief and bereavement, perhaps unnecessarily. In the West, death is something that is denied and, in many ways, is something that people seem ill-equipped to deal with once the event occurs or is imminent. Your job in this paper will be to put on your social scientist cap and offer “cultural solutions” to the way that death and dying is dealt with in Western society.

Based on your own independent research in which you compare the cultural beliefs toward death and dying in Western societies to those in Eastern societies such as China, Vietnam, Japan, and so forth, write an essay that addresses the following points:
Describe in detail the major differences between the Western viewpoint toward death and dying and those in these Eastern societies (you may focus on one country, such as China, or talk about Eastern societies more generally). Be sure to describe the rituals involved with the process of death and dying, the various technologies, or anything that helps explain these differences.
Give one specific example of a famous case of death and dying in Western society that demonstrates some of the problems or dysfunctions of the Western viewpoint (examining cases in the media, for example, will be a great place to start!).
Finally, conclude your final paper with a detailed commentary about what we can do to change the cultural beliefs toward death and dying in Western societies in a way that makes us less afraid of the dying process. Be very specific in your commentary.

Your draft should establish and develop a single thesis [or controlling idea], develop in parts. You may also write from the earlier handout on an author you haven’t yet written about.
Gandhi’s “Economic and Moral Progress” suggests that morality and economic prosperity do not go hand in hand. In fact, he argues, oftentimes, one loses one’s morality when one becomes wealthy. Do you agree with Gandhi? Does wealth correlate with immorality? Yes or no. Explain by referring to passages from the essay.
Compare David Suzuki’s understanding of interdependence [interconnectedness] with Ricard and Thuan’s.
Discuss the ways in which Gandhi supports his argument—first with historical examples, then with famous people, then by using the writing of a famous scientist. Is his essay more effective as he adds this type of support?
Desmond Tutu describes South Africa’s decision to seek a middle path between two extremes. What are these extremes and what is this middle path? Is Tutu right in arguing for this road down the middle?
Compare Desmond Tutu’s “middle path” with the teachings of Lao Tzu. Does Lao Tzu advocate a similar position? You might include other famous historical figures who’ve argued a similar position.
David Suzuki’s “The Sacred Balance” appears to be in two parts: first, he identifies the problem in three parts, then he identifies the solution in three parts. What is the essential problem and what is Suzuki’s solution?
Tom Shadyac’s film, “I Am” has a central thesis and advocates a certain solution. What is the basic thesis of the film and what is the solution or solution[s] he advocates? What’s the basic problem and what’s the answer? And how does he convince the audience of these truths?
Kenzaburo Oe develops a very smart and very controversial thesis. What is his thesis and what exactly does he refer to in an attempt to develop, support that thesis.
Kenzaburo Oe discusses the Great Flood [Noah] at the end of his essay and identifies something very troubling about the Western mind. What is this thing he is identifying here? How does it relate to the overall theme of the essay [man’s inhumanity to man]?
Rachel Carson’s “Obligation to Endure” identifies large increases in human populations that create conditions in which insects and other forms of life must be controlled. Name a few of these patterns of behavior that cause an increase in the amount of insects among us.
Identify Rachel Carson’s thesis and her solution. What’s the problem she outlines and what does she propose we do?
How do Carson’s ideas seem to influence David Suzuki? Are they on to the same problems? How are they similar or different?
Plato’s Gorgias is a discussion of the problem of rhetoric and the need for conversation. What is rhetoric, according to Plato, and why is it so dangerous? Does he convince the reader that discourse [words] can be used inappropriately and in dangerous ways?

Your assignment is to report on TWO cultural experience visits y.docxmelbruce90096
Your assignment is to report on TWO "cultural experience" visits you make during this term. After each visit, write a 500-800 word report about the visit and what you learned.
Your instructor may modify this assignment.
Instructions
For your two reports, attend two different venues from this list.
art museum or sculpture garden
significant or notable architectural site (if there is explanatory material there to help you understand it)
music concert
theater play
poetry reading or spoken word performance
dance performance
religious service, ceremony or ritual for a religion very different from yours, if you practice (for instance, if you are Christian, you may not go to another Christian denomination's service)
other displays or performances may be acceptable. Check with your instructor for approval beforehand.
Restrictions: The experience should be done in person. If this is impossible, contact the instructor to arrange for alternatives. You may not report on a cultural experience from prior to this class.
Write a report after each cultural experience (Cultural Experience Report #1 and #2).
Each report should include the following information. Include photos or links that help convey the information. As always, be sure to document all sources you consult in preparing your work.
Name and location of the museum, site, or performance event. If there is on-line information about the site or performance, include a link.
Type of museum, site or event. For example, is it a portrait museum, a poetry slam, an outdoor Shakespeare festival performance? If you attended a performance, name the performer or the piece. Be specific about what you attended, when, and where.
Briefly describe the general setting.
Describe at least one aspect of the experience that you found especially interesting. For example, you might write about a particular work of art, cultural artifact, song, dance section, scene in a play, costumes or lighting, a particular actor or vocalist, etc. Explain what impressed you, and why. Your reaction can be positive or negative, as long as you offer an explanation.
Identify and use at least two things you've learned in class in your essay. For example, if you visit a museum, you might point out the architectural style, discuss an artist you've learned about in the course, or tie your experience to a class discussion.
Reflect on the relevance--if any--of your experience to your everyday life. How did the experience engage your feelings or emotions, if at all? What does this tell you about human culture, or about yourself?

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Sample Outline Format
Note: The outline you submit should be one MS Word
document inclusive of the outline, references page and
description of visuals.
Speech Title: A creative title will add to audience interest.
General Purpose: Is it to inform? To persuade? To entertain?
To mark a special occasion?
Specific Purpose: A specific statement of what you expect to
accomplish with your speech - your desired outcome.
Introduction: Grabs the attention of the audience, presents a
topic of the speech and tells the audience the major points of
your speech.
A. Attention Getter: grab the attention of the audience- ideas
include:
Use a famous quotation; tell a story, real or hypothetical; pose
questions, rhetorical or directed; make a startling statement; use
suspense; make a personal reference; use humor
B. Thesis Statement: The thesis is a single sentence that
summarizes your message. Every other part of your speech
should support your thesis statement.
Credibility: Somewhere early in the presentation, typically
after the thesis statement, but before the preview statement, it
5. will be important to establish credibility as a speaker.
Credibility can be established through reference to your own
expertise on the topic and/or through making verbal reference to
the sources of your support. This persuades the audience that
you are "trustworthy" enough to speak about the subject, which
is critical to your success.
You should continue to make references to your credibility
throughout the speech to maintain that perception, but it is most
important near the start. Body: Contains the main points of
your speech and is where you focus on the details; here your
intent is to provide all the necessary evidence to explain and
support your points.
Preview Statement: Here you preview your main points, which
should be stated using parallel language.
Tie to the audience: Somewhere early in the presentation,
typically after the preview statement, but before the first main
point, it will be important to tie the topic to the audience. Why
should they be interested in what you have to say? Why is it
important to them?
You should continue to tie the material to your audience
throughout the presentation to maintain the importance of the
material, but it is most important near the start.
A. Main Point #1: You should have between 2 and 5 main
points in the body of your speech, which will be supported by
the subordinate points below.

for the audience that makes the message more intense, striking
or intense, hence, more memorable.
III. Conclusion: Summarizes the main points, stresses the most
important details and provides closure, providing a lasting
impact on the audience.
A. Summary: This is where you review the main points.
B. Closure: Providing a sense of closure to your presentation is
important as this is the last thing the audience will hear. If the
audience has to guess whether the speech is over you have
failed. Leave a lasting impression by closing with impact.
Transitions: Be sure to use transitions between main points,
when introducing new speakers and to demonstrate relationships
between ideas in your sub points. Transitions are sentences or
phrases that help your audience to follow the format of your
speech.
