 * Goals: ** Being able to present and share your ideas clearly and effectively is one of the most important skills that one can acquire in today’s world. If you cannot present what you know in a clear and concise manner you will be at a significant disadvantage. Of course there are many ways to present your ideas, but in this class we will be focusing on how to effectively present information in an oral form. During the course of this semester you will be given the opportunity to learn about and develop the following:


 * Development: ** The major component of this class will be giving oral presentations. You will be required to give a presentation for each style of public speaking we cover. You will be graded on your performance but your preparation will also factor in. There will be handouts and readings this semester. Quizzes will be given randomly throughout the semester based on the reading. Rough drafts and other preparation material may be checked and given a quiz grade. I also expect you to participate in class and you will be given a grade based on your participation.

Major Presentations- 50% Quizzes and Rough Drafts- 40% __Participation- 10%__ Final Quarter Grade 100% The quarter grades will count 80% of the semester grade with the exam contributing the other 20%.
 * Grades: ** The different assignment will be weighted accordingly:

 * Behavior: ** All policies of The Chinquapin School as outlined in the student handbook as pertains to conduct and academic integrity will be enforced in the class. That being said, I would like to emphasize the importance of respect in the classroom. Hopefully lively debates and discussions will be a regular part of the classroom environment. All opinions will be heard and are welcomed to be shared in the class. What I will not tolerate is being disrespectful of your classmates or of what they share in class. You are free to disagree but you will do it in a respectful manner.
