Policy Speeches

Quick Guide for Policy Speeches

• You only have 8 minutes, maximize your time.

• Just like any other composition, the basic format must always surface: use an attention grabbing introduction (1-2 minutes 00:00:01-00:01:59), present an organized, rational and well-supported case in your discussion (3-7 min 00:02:00-00:06:59), and remind us with your thesis statement in your conclusion (8th min 00:07:00-00:08:00).

• Do not forget to sign-post your main proposal in the form of a single clear and concise statement at the between your introduction and your discussion.
• Examples of sign-posts: "hence I propose before you that..."     "my arguments are 1).... 2)... and 3)...."     "my 2nd argument is foll proof because..."     "this can be attested by...."    These are just examples, I leave you to your own creativity and intellectual insight.
• Move around, your gestures must be natural.  Quash your self-esteem, shyness, fear issues, YOU HAVE THE BLOOD OF SPARTA!!!
• Policies must have relevance with readings from units 5 and 6.  Provide additional research to enrich your discussion.

Midterm Special Reaction Papers

Only for those who would be attending the tour in LCC-C.

Depending on your subject under my authority, you are to make a "Photo Documentary" with themes under our subjects.

Generally you are going to take pictures.  Two with only your object of study but without you in the picture.  And two with you in the picture.  Each picture will have a caption at the bottom describing the scene.

At the very end you will place a short discussion explaining what you have observed in the tour regarding your objects of study.

Research: Your theme is "Point of Interest"  Your object/s of study for the pictures: HRM will either choose food, hotel or resort.  BST will choose either hotel, resort, natural or man-made attraction, or tourist spot.

General Psychology: Your theme is "Tourist Behavior".  Your object/s of study for the pictures: Choose among your classmates (get the classmate to sign a consent for you to document him/her).

Ethics: Your theme is either "Environment Ethics" or "Interpersonal Relations."  Your object/s of study for the pictures: Choose among your classmates (get the classmate to sign a consent for you to document him/her).

Talastas:  Your theme is "Pamumuno sa Tulong ng Mahusay Komunikasyon." Your object/s of study for the pictures: Choose among your classmates, teachers, hotel/resort managers, or tour guides (get the classmate to sign a consent for you to document him/her).

Midterm Special Reaction Paper in Ethics

Photo Documentary on "Interpersonal Relations"

Object of Study: LCC-C Students at the Greek Academy Hotel, Panggasinan

Picture 1:  LCC-C Students at the Hotel Lobby

Picture 2: The Students Bonding During Bonfire Activity

Discussion:

(as a suggestion in these pictures, the students seem to have "kanya-kanya" behavior as seen in the lobby and at the bonfire, so Katherine in this sample should write about kanya-kanya attitude and why it is wrong attitude.  How it impacts on the students as a community.)

Sample Discussion:

In the pictures, it can be seen that the students separate themselves into small groups.  Such as in Picture 1.  Instead of socializing with other people, they stay only with the people that they know.  This makes a negative impact on the LCC-C student community because...

Ethics Project: Dante’s Allegory

For Midterm, we are studying human act itself.  Dante Alighieri wrote three books each detailing the literary and philosophical visualizations of sin and virtue.  These books were

“Inferno”,  “Purgatorio” and “Paradiso”.

Since we are not meeting August 2 and 9 2013, you have ample time to accomplish this monumental task.

For your project:

1. RACE TO GET AN AREA OF DANTE'S WORLDS

Form a group of 6-7 members (name your group).

Pick an AREA of Dante below.

On the COMMENTS

Write your Ethics section schedule (AM or PM).

Followed by your group name.

Then your chosen area.

Then your group members.

FIRST GROUP IN A SECTION TO WRITE THEIR COMMENTS GETS THE AREA.  ONLY ONE GROUP PER AREA PER CLASS SCHED.

Sample

PM

Tropa ni Maica

Purgatory 2

Baricuatro, Jamaica

Pasionela, Rosemarie

Dacca, Marlon

Toque, Christine

David, Grace

Edep, Rachel

(If this is posted, then no group in PM class cannot chose Purgatory 2 anymore.

2. MAKE AN IMPRESSIVE VISUAL REPRESENTATION OF YOUR AREA

Research about your area.  Sample, if you chose Purgatory 2.  Research on Dante's Purgatorio

It should show transition (scene change) from one place to the next.

At the end, there should be a reference where you got your information.

If you chose an area of hell,  it should express short details and explanations on the 1) location, 2) sin or sins punished in that area, 3) the corresponding punishment for the sin, 4) one – two historical characters in the area (why are they there?).

If you chose an area of purgatory, it should express short details and explanations on the 1) location, 2) sin or sins punished in that area, 3) the corresponding punishment for the sin, 4) the corresponding virtue to replace the sin, 5) one – two historical characters in the area (why are they there?).

If you chose an area of heaven, it should express short details and explanations on the 1) location, 2) the name of that particular sphere, 3) the virtue of people who get to that sphere, 4) one – two historical characters in the area (why are they there?).

Outputs can be one of any of  the samples, or think of your own unique output.
Samples: a very complex animated powerpoint or prezi presentation, a set of diorama's, a videoed play, a movie maker video, an e-book pdf.

Think outside the box guys.
