Bloggingheads - Day 2

Take a look at the blog post from Tuesday for more details on the steps you need to follow for your Bloggingheads recordings.  Also, bloggingheads.tv has plenty of arguments for you to watch and consider.

Before class on Monday, you need to upload your recorded argument to this Dropbox folder.  Your file name should contain your block number, title and both bloggers' names (example - block8_deathpenalty_ferrebee).

Lastly, you will be graded on the following criteria, so please be aware of what you need to accomplish if you want to earn an advanced score on this summative assignment:

Rhetorical Techniques (40%)
Speaker uses all rhetorical techniques at least once in a persuasive and effective way.  Evidence provided for ethos and logos is accurate and comes from a reliable source.  The presenter excels in using the following argumentative order ethos > logos > pathos.

Rhetorical Issue (30%)
Speakers argument maintains a single rhetorical issue throughout and uses it accurately (forensic, demonstrative, or deliberative).  The selected rhetorical issue fits the topic.

Register/Public Speaking (30%)
Speaker excels in using informal register throughout.
Conversation flows naturally and does not sound scripted.  Speaker speaks clearly and confidently.  Speaker uses good eye contact while speaking and listening.  He or she also allows silence instead of filler words (um, ehhh, ugghh, like) to distract the audience.  The listener maintains focus on the listener.
