Peer Speech Prompts

This Mike McIlvain blog was initiated through a Summer 2009 program through Texas A&M International University's Professional Resource Opportunities for Faculty, under interim director Lisa Flores, with the consultation of Jack Mino, of Holyoke Community College, Mass.

Everything was filmed on the Mino Flip Camera. The aim of the five following recorded brainstorming sessions between two TAMIU seniors is to spark similar sessions for speech students of Mike McIlvain. Ruben and Isaac are only a few years ahead of the current crop of speech students, but have taken the course, other relatd courses, and have applied what they knew.

Main intentions of this blog aim toward prompting individual successes through Ruben and Isaac. Each classroom student is an audience, as entire classes are eventually. Other educators will, hopefully, find interest in this research, too.

The following first prompt is around the introduction speech. The rest are the how-to, informative, persuasive, and ceremonial, or special occasion, speeches. These are shortened demonstration versions to fit requirements for the blog.

Introduction Speech Prompt -- Ruben and Isaac -- On occasion when introducing a person, place, or thing, did advanced thinking, preparation, and inquiry make a difference over unplanned speaking, and how?
