Now that you have explored fully all the dilemmas that a museum faces in displaying African art, it’s time to assess the pitfalls in person.

Visit the De Young Museum collection of African and Oceanic art (on the second floor), as well as the their collection of ancient art of the Americas (on the first floor). Or, visit the small collection of African and Oceanic art in the Crocker Museum in Sacramento.

For five points extra credit, please compare the Crocker and De Young displays.

  • In your analysis, address one or more of the balancing acts that museums face, and note to what extent the museum is successful, or not, in achieving that balance. Be sure to provide specific examples from the museum displays to make your case.

I would like you to cite at least two different scholarly sources to support your analysis of the museum display.

  • Also select a particular work from one of these collections, and research its meaning and use, beyond what the museum and its website tell you (you may need to expand your research to include similar types of artwork, since little information may be available about that particular piece). Consider how the museum presents the work (its location, “neighborhood,” wall text, etc.), and assess the effectiveness of the presentation, based on your researchbeyond the museum.

I would like you to cite at least two different scholarly sources to support your analysis of the artwork you picked.

  • Finally, explain how the museum could change the exhibit, and how that change would enhance the viewers’ understanding of the art. Again, give specific examples, and keep in mind that the museum’s budget (and space) is limited!

For help writing your paper, see How to Write an Art History Paper along with Sources for Art History Research, How to Cite Sources, Grammar and Spelling Basics, and Academic Success & Tutoring Center.  Of course, you can also contact me any time with questions.

John H. McWhorter, “Why I’m Black, Not African American” (in the Blair Reader)

Each of three readings for this module’s discussion (McWhorter/Tannen/Twain) introduced an author who made clear distinctions between two things that otherwise might be seen as equal — equal terms, equal genders, and equal animals. Yet the emphasis of each article is on the differences between those two nearly-equal concepts or objects.

Consider any two of the three readings and examine the differences between the approaches the authors took. (McWhorter/Tannen/Twain)

Discuss their arguments, styles, conclusions, or other factors about what they wrote. How are the two authors’ articles working differently?

**See Ask Your Instructor on Gender Neutral Language info.

Your answer should consist of well-developed paragraph or two, which means the first sentence should answer the question(s) (i.e., topic sentence), and the following sentences should support the topic sentence. The paragraph(s) should be unified and coherent with specific supporting details or examples from the story. The sentences should be clear, concise, and arranged in a logical order. Transitions, pronouns, and repetition should be used to provide coherence. The paragraph(s) should follow acompare and contrast format.

What about the use of voice (tone, inflection, pauses) and non-verbals (e.g., posture, gestures, facial expressions) to express emotion, intensity, and meaning?

/in /by

This week we will analyze videotaped presentations made by leaders who are very skilled in visioning. Three speeches have been chosen for you to analyze. You may also compare their content and style. Choose at least one of the speeches, and use the following for your analysis. You do not have to answer each question under Style and Content, but use this as a guide for your analysis:Style – Are there any examples of colorful, vivid imagery or language? Slogans? Symbols? Are there any examples of shared beliefs and traditional values? Is there a use of repetition in words, phrases, or sentence structure? What about the use of voice (tone, inflection, pauses) and non-verbals (e.g., posture, gestures, facial expressions) to express emotion, intensity, and meaning? Did these leaders “know themselves”? Would their style be useful in the current age of healthcare reform?Content – Has the need for change been established? Is there a a vision of a possible future situation that appeals to people’s hopes and desires for something better? Did the leader present a promising, innovative strategy for attaining the vision in general terms, without too much detail? Did the leader talk about the challenge of achieving the vision, the need for dedication, courage, persistence, creativity, and possibly self-sacrifice? Did the leader express optimism that the vision can be attained, despite the obstacles?

  What are the differences among these 4 presentation styles? When would it be appropriate to use each presentation method?

/in /by

Part 1. Respond to the following in a minimum of 175 words:

Consider the 4 methods for delivering oral presentations: Memorization, Manuscript, Impromptu and Extemporaneous.

·         What are the differences among these 4 presentation styles? When would it be appropriate to use each presentation method?

·         Next, recall a public speaking event you’ve experienced in the past (whether live, on television, or via the internet); note the subject of the event, the speaker, and the delivery method used. Why do you think the speaker used this method of delivery? Was this delivery method effective? Why or why not?

Part 2. Reply to the following thread in a minimum of 100 words:

“Memorization is when the speaker memorizes the speech to not use notes, scripts, or other materials. While this may work for some, memorization is not recommended. The disadvantages outweigh the advantage. Manuscript is when a speaker reads entirely from a prewritten script. Although it is not recommended manuscript is recommended for some situations like a funeral. Improvised speeches are made without any preparation and no time to prepare. Extemporaneous speeches are made with hours of practice and research but are given as though they are impromptu speeches. Notes will be used but not read from word for word, but key words will help the speaker stay on track and speak naturally. A public speaking event that I recall would be our annual meeting for a federal credit union I worked for. I remember there were so many people, we all sat at dining tables and waiters brought our courses throughout the speech. The delivery method used by the speaker was extemporaneous. This was an efficient way to deliver the information. It was a lot of information and it was a prolonged period we were there. There were plenty of distractions and intermissions. So, the speaker was able to keep track of where they left off and what was next with their notes. They did not read them word for word but instead used them as a guide. The speakers used this method because this it was used years prior by earlier speakers and proved an effective way to deliver the information and keep the environment friendly or relaxed.” Andrea A.

Part 3. Respond to the following post in a minimum of 100 words:

“The four different types of presentation styles are memorization, manuscript, impromptu, and extemporaneous. memorization is when the speaker memorizes the whole speech without no cars or a script to read from. Manuscript is when the speaker is reading something word for word like in a movie or a play. Impromptu is when the speaker just speaks from the heart and mine everything is made up right then and there there was no practicing involved. Extemporaneous are professional speakers they make a speech that was manuscript it look impromptu. Recently I purchase a webinar from a successful business owner name Sierra some of you might know her from Love & hip Hop. the webinar was called 30k in 30 days and she explained some of her tricks of the trade to help a first-time beginner get off the ground. In her webinar you can tell that some of her information was impromptu and you can tell the rest of it was manuscript. the reason I can tell this is because she would look down several times to look at what she had written down before. She also mentioned that she had very important key notes that she wanted us to write down that she had wrote down herself.” Quani H.

Create a strong thesis statement and include that statement in your introduction and conclusion.

Speaking Assignment 6: Beginning, ending, and making transitions in a speech (video and peer critique) No unread replies. No replies.

PHYSICAL AUDIENCE REQUIREMENT WAIVED DUE TO COVID19.

YOU WILL NEED TO UPLOAD YOUR OUTLINE WITH THIS ASSIGNMENT IN ORDER FOR IT TO BE GRADED. ASSIGNMENTS WITHOUT AN OUTLINE WILL RECEIVE A ZERO GRADE.

For this assignment, you will post a 4-5 minute extemporaneous speech that further builds on the topic you utilized in the previous speaking assignment. Your speech should show significant improvement from the previous speech in its beginning, ending, and transitions. In addition, you may need to do further research to provide better source material, and you may choose to change the organizational pattern of the speech, given what you learned from your classmates’ comments. Make sure to utilize your visual aid appropriately, as we learned in last weeks lesson. Your speech still should be extemporaneous and still should demonstrate rehearsal and attention to both the verbal and nonverbal messages you send.

  1. Create an appropriate visual aid for your final speech. Make sure to utilize the visual aid appropriately during your speech, as discussed in Chapter 13: Visual Aids. Your use of a visual aid is scored inside of the assignment rubric.
  2. Add your outline into the written portion of the textbox where you upload your speech. You will lose 10 points (after the final score is calculated) if you are missing an outline.
  3. Submit your video by uploading it to this assignment or by embedding a YouTube video. Videos that have been edited or that employ avatars will earn a grade of zero. If you are using YouTube, please make sure your video is not set to private. We cannot see videos that are set to private to grade them; therefore, any videos that are set to private will be given a zero grade.
  4. After you have posted your speech, watch the speeches of at least three of your classmates. In your responses, discuss the degree to which the beginning and end of the speech met their respective goals. Also discuss how the speaker moved between main points. Were the transitions choppy or fully developed? Was it hard to tell when the speaker moved from one main point to another? Did the transitions effectively bridge the gap between ideas? Were you able to recognize the elements of a successful speech in the final product?

Late Assignments Will Not Be Accepted. Upload early to avoid posting a late video due to long upload times that occur at the assignment deadline when multiple videos are being submitted.

Return to Module 2: Elements of Public Speaking

Advice for this assignment:

  • Start with a strong attention-getting device. Do not start with an formal introductions.
  • Use a credibility/ethos statement such as “I have done extensive research on…” or “I have x amount of experience with”…
  • Conduct research and cite all of your sources.
  • Create a strong thesis statement and include that statement in your introduction and conclusion.
  • Use transition statements such as “now that I have discussed…. I will inform you about….”.
  • Pan your three audience members to show that they are there, and then have one of them film you so that you are able to stand during your speech. Use strong nonverbal communication and gestures.
  • Dress in formal attire and practice your speech several times before you present to your audience.
  • Include a call-to-action and/or a strong closing statement.
