You can use your current speech topic for this assignment and I would strongly suggest that you do so! However, please make sure that you edit and perfect the outline prior to turning it in with your final speaking assignment (SA6).

When you build a house, the first thing you do is plan and create the underlying structure of the house–the part of the house behind and within the walls that may not be noticed if it’s done well, but that will certainly be noticed if it’s done poorly. Speaking in public is similar in some ways to building a house. While audience notice a speaker’s delivery, they may not notice the organization of the speech unless it’s so poorly planned that the speech seems to ramble without a point. Good speaking, in contrast, follows patterns of practical reasoning that the audience can understand and accept, and good speakers tend to organize their speeches in ways that follow such patterns.

  1. In your initial post, use the handout about organizational patterns to help you briefly outline a speech that might employ one of those patterns. You only need to list the main points of the potential topic. Please steer clear of overdone speech topics, such as gun control, abortion, marijuana laws, exercise and dieting, or other popular but contentious social issues. Use the vocabulary from your readings to describe the types of evidence and logical patterns; you may include outside research for additional examples or explanation. Submit your completed outline for your primary post; please submit as text, not as an attachment, as attachments will not be graded. You should select a single outline structure (the category should be appropriate for your topic and outline type) and a single topic and create a basic outline for the discussion board. Cite every outside source you use, including your readings.

Based on the understanding of the case, write a report in which you need to include the followings: A.    Explain the problem faced by Aaron’s unit (Introduction part).

Case 1

Aaron likes supervising the Frontline Service Unit. This unit is responsible for updating customer accounts and files as well as for providing information to customers and other employees. Typically, the customer representatives in the unit he supervises answer questions about the services offered, provide information about the customer’s account and modify the files so that they are up-to-date and correct. This unit was formed only recently, to handle the increasing volume of direct customer calls more efficiently by using the newly installed on-line customer information system.

Unfortunately, the planning for the new unit was not done well. The on-line computer system was purchased and installed before the actual operations people were brought in. As a result, Aaron was given the responsibility for getting the unit up and running within one week. He had to make some quick personnel selections and take care of a lot of administrative details within a short period of time.

Now, three weeks after receiving the assignment, Aaron feels quite a sense of accomplishment. He has been lucky that things have worked as well as they have. In fact, the only thing Aaron is concerned with now is how his reps handle customers over the phone.

Aaron knows that good telephone etiquette is essential to the successful accomplishment of his unit’s mission, yet his reps use many different styles in answering the phone and do not follow basic rules set by the unit. For example, the reps commonly neglect to put customers on hold while they search for information. When asking questions, they do not explain the reason for inquiry; they do not verify information; and, at times, they may react defensively when they don’t know the answers. These are the major – but not the only things they do wrong.

Aaron knows that he must train them in the techniques of proper phone etiquette. There is no available training program to which he can send his personnel. Therefore, he must provide the training and coaching to the reps while they are on the job.

As part of his responsibility, Aaron needs to think of a training program to train his reps in his unit.

Based on the understanding of the case, write a report in which you need to include the followings:

A.    Explain the problem faced by Aaron’s unit (Introduction part).

B.     Prepare a training plan for Aaron. The training plan should be using an appropriate training model learned in the module and also each step/phase/stage should be clearly explained and recommendations should base on the problems identified in the case.

submit your full presentation thus far, which should include the previous updated segments and the segment for this unit.

See feedback from instructor to correct Unit III PPT first. Then add the rest of the following.

Art Gallery: Principles of Design

For Unit IV of your art gallery presentation, you will be adding descriptions of the principles of design you observe in the artworks you placed in your art gallery. The purpose of this unit assignment is to demonstrate that you can apply what you learned about design principles to your gallery artworks.

  • Begin by reviewing your Unit III feedback and making any necessary revisions to the descriptions of the visual elements.
  • Next, research the design elements in Chapter 4 of your textbook.
  • Place the Design Principles slide directly after the Visual Elements slide describing each artwork.
  • Provide a detailed description of the design principles in each artwork, using full and complete sentences. For design principles, make sure you describe how the artist used most or all of the ones in Chapter 4: unity and variety, balance, emphasis, directional forces, contrast, repetition and rhythm, and scale and proportion. Questions to consider are included below:
    • Unity: what elements work together to make a harmonious whole?
    • Variety: What creates diversity?
    • Balance: Is it symmetrical or asymmetrical?
    • Emphasis: What is the focal point?
    • Directional forces: What are the paths for the eye to follow?
    • Contrast: Where do you see contrasting elements in the artwork?
    • Repetition and rhythm: Is an element repeated?
    • Scale and proportion: Are the objects in proportion to each other?
  • You do not need to cite a source if it is your observation. Only cite a source if you are using information that someone published. Be sure to use APA formatting for all outside sources.
  • Please submit your full presentation thus far, which should include the previous updated segments and the segment for this unit.
  • This segment must include a minimum of five PowerPoint slides.

***Also, please write about each principle in a full and complete sentence.

Unity/Variety – Is everything is the artwork similar or unified? Or is there diversity?Balance – Is there balance?  Does one side appear visually heavier than the other?Emphasis and Subordination – What is the focus of the artwork?  Why do you feel that is?Directional Forces – How does your eye move around the work of art? Describe the path your eye takes through the work as you view it.Contrast – Is there a juxtaposition of opposites? This can be a contrast of color, or texture, or line, etc. Repetition and Rhythm – Is there a pattern or movement in the artwork?Scale and Proportion – Does the size or proportion change how you think about the artwork?
