This is your third written speech assignment for the semester. You will be completing the provided Informative Speech Worksheet, which is a Microsoft Word document. Once you complete the worksheet, you will reply to this discussion forum and attach the worksheet as either a Microsoft Word file or a .pdf file.

Read through the entire Informative Speech Worksheet:  Given that this is your third speech draft of the semester, I've provided a worksheet as well as detailed instructions. While this is considered a draft, it should be your best attempt at writing this speech. The more work you put into your speech draft, the more feedback your peers and me can provide to help you finalize your speech in preparation for recording it. Unlike the first two speech worksheets you've completed, this time you will use your feedback to make changes to your speech draft and you will submit an updated version next week – it will be the 2nd draft. 

2nd Draft (next week): Unlike the last two speech worksheets from modules 1 and 2, you will be expected to make revisions to your 1st draft and submit a 2nd draft of this worksheet/outline next week. However, if you do really well on this week's worksheet and you need minimal or no revisions, I will excuse you from submitting a 2nd draft of your worksheet/outline next week. So, rather than having to make updates and edits and submit an assignment next week, you would have the week off from submitting an assignment and have an additional week to refine your speech and practice it. If you have done well enough on this speech worksheet/outline draft, I will notify you by leaving a comment on this assignment and let you know you are excused from submitting anything next week. If you are excused,  from submitting a 2nd draft next week, the grade column for next week's assignment (assignment #7) will remain blank (represented with a dash). This will not impact your grade in any way.
