Project #3:  Zeega Presentation :   SPC1301–Zeega Multimedia Reporting

Select one of the following approaches to your Zeega assignment:

1)  Use it like a PowerPoint & speak along with it [embodied] (using it as background),

or

2) Let it stand alone (disembodied), then interact with your audience–getting their “take” on your Zeega–and, subsequently, explaining your process and meaning.

Be sure to incorporate cognitive dissonance–juxtapose opposing images–complicate the message–make your audience “think” and “question” your message.

Project #4:  Persuasive Speech Using Modern Appeals:  Monroe’s Motivated Sequence

For Tuesday, October 28:   Read Chapter 15 (in Tab 7 of your textbook) [50 pts]

Answer the following questions–put your name at top of paper and type answers on a sheet of paper. Be sure to put numbers by your answers.

1)  What are the five stages of Monroe’s Motivated Sequence – describe each stage in 2-3 sentences.

2)  What are the Modern Appeals that speakers can use to persuade?   Name each of the four modern appeals and describe them in 3-4 sentences.

3)  Select two modern appeals that you think are particularly effective  and connect them to The Hierarchy of Needs.  Using both the definition of the modern appeal and the meaning of the level(s) it connects to in the Hierarchy of Need, write four to five sentences for each pair describing how they could be used in an argument.

For example:  Appeal to Harmony (a modern appeal)  might connect to Social Needs (in the Hierarchy of Needs)—You might describe a possible persuasive argument in which the audience collectively agrees with the speaker (persuader) in an effort to avoid conflict or because of peer pressure and trying to fit in.

Be sure you understand these concepts–you will be using them in your next speech assignment, which will be to persuade an audience to do something using one of the modern appeals.  I will hand that assignment out on Tuesday.
