For the spoken
portion of your online portfolio (blog), you will create a spoken discussion of
your Cause and Effect topic. While this
can be similar to the introduction of your essay, this has some different
elements and serves a different purpose; thus, do not simply read your
introduction for this assignment.
The purpose of
recording an oral piece for your portfolio is to introduce yourself, your
topic, and your ideas to your audience.
Because this will be a well-rehearsed recording, your grammar should be
accurate as well as your pronunciation.
To be sure that you have used correct grammar, pronunciation and
intonation, you will write your oral portion first. We will practice reciting them in class and,
perhaps, on Google Voice. The final
recording will count as a test grade.
This should be
about 1 ½ to 2 mins and will be something we put into a video for your online
portfolio.
