(20 POINTS - 4 points each section) Below is a chart that shows you exactly how your class participation grade will be determined. All students are expected to participate in class! I do understand that some students are shy and participate in ways other than class discussion. Forms of participation other than participating in class discussion (although this is a primary form of participation) include coming to me for extra help, giving other students feedback in class, adhering to the no-voice and no-phone rule, consistent attendance, and being able to answer in-class ASL dialogue from both the teacher and other students. NOTE: If you get to the point of having a fair/poor participation grade in one or more areas, it will probably be recommended that you withdraw from the class, as you probably will not be able to keep up with the material. If a student is absent, s/he losts points on the punctuality grade rubric also.

Students will give a speech on a researched topic to their peers. They will be assessed on content and delivery.

Students will research, plan, and compose a speech in which their performance will be evaluated in terms of specific standards set in class, including the clarity and completeness of your speech, your ability to relate visual displays as your speak and the quality of your presentation in explaining your topic matter. Students must use props, visuals, or audio. Non-verbal communication is highlighted. Students will have 3 to 4 minutes to deliver the speech.

Choose a full-length article in a peer reviewed journal that reviews research on one of the topics presented in class.(within the last 5 years) Write a one paragraph summary of the article followed by a one paragraph personal reflection. The article must be a research article with methods, subjects data, etc. I will not accept a review or professional opinion article. Please submit this electronically by way of "dropbox" on Sakai.
