DISCUSSION 2 IS FROM MY “MANAGING PROJECT TEAMS” CLASS:

Continue to consider the project identified in Discussion 1.

DISCUSSION 4 IS FROM MY COMMUNICATION CLASS:
A Speech for Every Occasion
Use what you’ve learned this week to respond to the following:
- What makes a special occasion?
- How can you apply, to special occasion speeches, the speaking skills you have worked on throughout the term?
- Share a special occasion speech you gave or heard (or find a recorded one online and share the link). What made the speech effective? What can you apply from that experience to your own communication skillset?
