Introductory Speech: Narrative / Story Telling
Public speaking is about getting to know one another better. Through speech we
share our beliefs, knowledge, personality, experiences, and opinions. Research
and personal experience tells us that speaking in public gets easier when the
speaker knows the audience. Consequently, this assignment serves a dual
purpose. One is to allow the audience to get to know each other better. The
other is to let each speaker know the audience members better.
SPEECH ASSIGNMENT: In this assignment you will speak about you know –
yourself. Imagine you have just arrived at a corporate retreat, the start of an
intense three-day training program. The facilitator has asked you to tell a story
about a person or an experience that has had a significant positive influence on
your life. For example, this person or experience may have led you to:
• Your choice of major in college.
• A clearer understanding of your personal and/or professional values.
• Your spiritual or political beliefs.
• An awareness of a specific professional skill/quality you possess.
• A specific talent or passion you have.
• A stronger sense of self.
• Length of speech is four (4) to six (6) minutes. Deductions occur for every
fraction of a minute over or under these parameters.
These are suggestions; you may address something not listed here.
Tell a true story about yourself, following the structural guidelines you’ve read
about and that are outlined below. Since you are speaking about yourself, little
research is needed. The familiarity of topic should enable you speak confidently
and with enthusiasm and sincerity.

the classmate as an original e-mail, carbon copy (cc:) me. It is your responsibility to
obtain needed contact information. Continue to follow the previously outlined e-mail

Format & Tips: e-Mail Assignments
There are inherent challenges when using technology-based communications in the
workplace. Understanding and respecting written communication expectations can
enhance and accelerate your career.
Consider these essential e-mail etiquette guidelines:
• Have a clear and concise subject line that summarizes the content.
• Be sure your name is properly formatted in the “From” line.
• Be brief and address only one subject. If the reader has to scroll down, the
entire e-mail may not be read.
• Avoid being too personal.
• Announce all attachments and hyperlinks.
• Restate any questions asked that you are answering.
• Consider sending the e-mail to yourself first; then print it and proof read it.
• Stick to one topic per e-mail.
• Follow the rules of formal writing and grammar.
• Start with a greeting, using titles until permission is given to become more
informal.
• Close with a signature block that includes more than one form of contact
information.
• Use line spacing, bullet points, or numbers to make when appropriate, to make
your replies visually accessible.
• Avoid jargon, acronyms, all caps, etc.
• Explain jargon or acronyms when used, when necessary.
First Assignment
For your first assignment please write and send me an original e-mail in which you
identify the three principles of appropriate behavior (a.k.a. etiquette) discussed while
you attended our first class. For each briefly define the term and give an example of an
action, behavior, or communication that might demonstrate that you embrace this
principle.
