Assignment task: Take a moment to reflect on your thoughts, experiences, and expectations around public speaking. This is as much for you as it is for me - I want to know what you want from this class as much as you will benefit from this exercise. Answer the following questions, making sure that your responses total:
1. How do I define "the public?" What counts and what doesn't count?
2. What do I define as "speaking?" Does it have to be in person?
3. What experience do I have with public speaking?
4. How do I feel about my own ability to speak publicly?
5. What is the main thing I want to learn about public speaking this semester?
