Week5: Prep for FINAL EXAM_Weekly discussions online

Dear all,
Each week, I will put up "two" discussion topics on the blog (these topics are similar to the ones that will be asked in the final exam, and are intended to prepare you for the exam). For each discussion topic, I will assign two students from the class list to lead the discussion.
When you see the post on the blog and the names assigned, these two students will click on the COMMENTS button under the post and will leave their opinions on the discussion topic. To keep the discussion going, you can take turns (i.e., after reading your partner's comments, you can reply by leaving another comment). By the way, the other students who follow the discussion can also participate and leave their comments.
For Week 5, check my next post.
Thanks.
ps. I plan to allot 5 % of your total class mark based on your fulfillment of this task assigned.

Week5: Persuasive Speech- CALL for TOPICS

Dear all,
As you all know, you will start your 5-min presentations in week 6. Have you started looking and searching for topics yet?
I would like you to do some google search and find sources that suggest persuasive topics, offer sample outlines and content and presentation tips, etc.
Below I would l'ke to share you a link I have found online:
http://www.persuasive-speechesnow.com/persuasive-speech-OUTLINE.html

This link tells you how you should prepare your speech outline. The website is intended for professionals (e.g. businessmen), but you too can learn some tips from it. Also, the home-page:
