Abstract | The personal coat-of-arms speech provides students with specific directions in constructing a speech of introduction and has been used with success at Illinois State University, Daley College (Chicago), St. Xavier University (Chicago), and Ohio State University. The personal coat-of-arms speech gives students concrete experience on which to draw as they study aspects of speech, such as working with a visual aid, practicing delivery technique, brainstorming ideas, and learning about the relationship of language to values. The assignment requires students to prepare a visual aid with images representing 2 things they do well, something they fear, someone/something they love, how they would spend a $10 million lottery prize, and what they see themselves doing in the future. They must also invent or appropriate a motto which represents a value that guides the way they live. When students present their coat-of-arms, they are not allowed to speak from notes, instead they are encouraged to use their visual aid as a memory clue, elaborating on the images to explain what they represent to the individual. Adopted by a number of instructors who teach presentational speaking, this speech assignment has met with much positive response. (A two-page assignment criteria is appended.) (CR) |
