In SPCH 201, students will complete one presentation in class.  In this class students will present expository/informative presentations.
Because we have limited time available, I will choose the umbrella subject or general subject and then students will choose a subtopic for their presentation. 
The Unique Experience and Legacy of HBCUs in Shaping Excellence and Student Success”
This is the basic umbrella topic.  What this means, is that all of the informative presentations will focus on some aspect of the above topic.  Your task is to now choose a sub-topic specific to this main subject area.   Some sub-topics might include:
Historical contributions of Leaders and Movements
The role of HBCUs in civil rights movements and social justice
The cultural and academic significance of HBCUs in fostering leadership
HBCU traditions and their influence on student life and identity
The challenges and opportunities facing HBCUs for next generations
How HBCUs promote community, activism, and academic achievement
The economic and societal impact of HBCUs on urban communities
Comparing the experiences of HBCUs and PWIs
Hence, your task for this assignment is:
to decide on a topic for your informative speech presentation
to write a thesis statement for your topic 
to find three academic sources that will provide credibility and relevance to your selection, these must be cited per the writing style of your discipline (if you add just the link, then you won’t get credit for the assignment.  We want a scholarly reference/citation. 
3 formal references to be listed
Please do not complete the assignment without all of the requested items or you will not receive credit.  When you upload, please:
Use complete sentences
Edit your work before uploading
Upload by the deadline
  The assignments will not receive credit after the due date, but you will still need to advise me of your topic.    
It must be a topic that can be discussed in 6 minutes
There is a limit on how many students can do the same topic.  If by chance there are three students who have selected the same topic, only two will be able claim that topic and it will be based on time and date the topic was posted.  I will release the informative presentation guidelines soon. 
Please post your topic for the first formal presentation in this class.    
Remember, when I ask for formal references and citations, I am asking for the full reference citation, you can include the link, but posting just the link is not appropriate.  Owl Purdue may be helpful in your writing activities.

After we have explored the subdisciplines in the major, you’ll practice using one to solve a real-world problem that could be solved by an English major at work. I recommend you choose an area you might be interested in working in so that you can try it out. 
Your “deliverable” will consist of: 
An overview of the case (potentially with research to support it); 
A proposed approach or solution; 
A rationale supporting your approach or solution (definitely with research to support it).
To complete this assignment: 
1) Choose from one of the case studies in the folder in Module 9. 
2) Consider approaches to solving the problem posed in the case study. The goal is not necessarily to reach the one best solution, but rather to use what you’ve learned so far to propose a solution and explain why the proposed solution is a good option to try. 
3) Research some similar scenarios. You’ll use this as part of your rationale for why your solution is a good one. You might research: 
 Articles that discuss how companies have resolved similar problems; 
General resources related to the subdiscipline (e.g., linguistics, screenplay writing, education, etc.)
Similar case studies or examples. 
You should seek at least 2 sources that you can refer to and cite. AI is not a great research resource, but Google or the library’s database can be helpful places to locate sources. Be sure you vet your sources: are they credible and reliable? 
4) Draft a report on the problem and your proposed solution. These reports can take a variety of formats; I’ll recommend one in the lecture video. Whatever format you use, think about how you can use headings and subheadings effectively. Lengths will vary based on your project, but should be at least 800 words. Reports should also include a page of citations. 
5) You’ll participate in discussions as well as peer review and revision of this assignment.
This assignment is worth approximately 20% of your course grade. See the specifications and the course grading specifications for more details.
