"A Pocket Guide to Public Speaking" contains a lot of important information about the next speech and the stuff I will be talking about in the next few lectures. Section "24" or pages 189-219 covers Persuasive speaking.

The tournament taking place on our campus today runs from 12-8:30. The first round starts at 12 so you need to be early to find a round of speeches to watch.

If you watch three rounds of speeches and write a one paged doubled space paper I'll give you 5% extra credit. HERE is a document that describes each event.
