Intro to Communications (Period 1) Assignments

Using your own work from the Eulogy/Inanimate worksheet completed Wed and/or Thursday, create your outline for your Eulogy/Inanimate Object Speech. Remember to prepare the Body of the speech first.

Using the attached sheet as a guide, answer all the questions regarding your object.  If you are becoming the object, then customize your answers.

 

Instead of the question: "How did it play an important role in your life?"  your question would be "How do I/did I play an important role to my owner or to the world?"

 

Each group should discuss, complete, and submit on paper the answers to the 8 questions at the bottom of page 2 of the attachment.
