Houston Community College Speech on Business Policy Presentation

SPEECH I INFORMATIVE – Business Policies:

Some business policy of your company or any company that you know – or fabricate one – explain and define the policy – for example policy on time off, benefits, job training, quality control, or some

other – perhaps more than one policy – 2 to 6 minutes in length.

Speeches have the option of the use of presentation aids. (see the module for chapter 12 for more examples and clarification)

20% of each speech grade depends upon your proper use and inclusion of presentation aids.

•Such aids can include, but are not limited to – handouts, use of props, video and audio segments, computer-generated aids (such as Power Point, Prezi or other slideshow software), etc.

•Video clips may include YouTube videos, personal videos and any other media sources. Video and audio segments may not be longer than one/third of the total time of your presentation and the length of the video or audio is included in your total presentation time.

Students must turn in an outline with every speech.

•Outlines must be typed and in either standard academic outline format (see Chapter 11 in the textbook or on the canvas page in the chapter module) or students may use the speaking outline samples provided on the course eagle online page.

•Students will submit a rough draft the week before for partial credit and for instructor approval. Rough drafts are worth ten points and go towards your final course grade.

•No other formats will be accepted. The following is not acceptable –the speech manuscript, the slideshow slides, the outline samples that has not been modified to that student’s specific speech, and any other written form of the speech that is not in the required format as requested.

Failure to provide a final draft of your outline with your presentation will result in a 50 point penalty.
