Evaluation Title: Speech of Self-Introduction

The Speech of Self-Introduction is your chance to develop a short introductory speech about yourself. People frequently have to introduce themselves to a group. The  developed as a result of this assignment is one you should keep and use for specific situations later on in life. It is useful for job or scholarship , an organization meeting where you are new, or even the first day of class.

You should identify a few aspects of your life, personality, or beliefs that reflect favorably on you and develop those as your main ideas. This is often called impression management. By managing your impression, you want to convey competence, integrity, attractiveness (likable, easy to identify with), and natural or conferred power.

Using the self-introduction outline you created for the Unit 1 Discussion, incorporate the instructor and peer feedback to finalize the outline to use for delivery of the self-introduction speech.

The Speech of Self-Introduction should include the following: The speech body should include 2-3 main ideas focusing on your life – family, job, schooling, etc. A transition should be used to show movement between your main ideas. Something as simple as “Next…” works very well.    The conclusion should summarize the speech, not just bring general biographical information to an end.    No sources are needed for this speech.

 

 

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
