Week of September 14-20

Hello Class! Here is what's on the Participation Page on Blackboard:

Answer one in each of your three posts, at least 24 hours apart:

1). Have you ever been influenced by a speaker? Think of the best speaker you've ever heard. What was it about that speaker that made his or her communication memorable? Think of the worst speaker you've ever heard. What do you remember about his or her message?

2). Consider a well-known speaker, for example, the current President of the United States (or Presidential candidate). What is this speaker's strongest characteristics as a speaker? Is it credibility, attractiveness, power, or all three? In what ways could the speaker build ethos in these areas?

3). Pick one concept from the assigned reading (Chapter 9) that you found useful or interesting and discuss it.

***Remember to post 2 responses to your colleagues blogs at least 24 hours apart.
