The Five Canons (8 points) Question 1.1: As discussed in Lessons 04 and 05 and the Planned Spontaneity Keywords entry, this class will emphasize and require extemporaneous speaking for your major speeches. You also had some practice with extemporaneous speaking in your Professional Speech. Define extemporaneous speaking in your own words and distinguish it from the other memory strategies. Be clear and specific. (2 points) Question 1.2: Based on our discussion of the five canons, your history of public speaking, which of the five canons do you think is/are your strongest and why? (2 points) Question 1.3: What can you do to keep this/these canon(s) strong? (1 point) Question 1.4: Which of the five canons do you think is/are ones that need the most work and why? (2 points) Question 1.5: What can you do to develop and strengthen this/these canon(s)? (1 point) Part 2: Identity (6 points) Question 2.1: The Keywords entry on Identity describes something called an identity gap. In a few sentences, describe an identity gap that you have faced in your own life. Question 2.2: What did the identity gap consist of? That is, which layers of your identity (personal, enactment, relational, communal) were not quite matching up? Question 2.3: What caused it? Question 2.4: What, if anything, did you do to respond to it? Question 2.5: The Keywords entry on Identity states (warns?) that "in a public speaking class, you will inevitably hear perspectives that could complicate your understanding of 'who you are.'" This is likely to happen in our unit on beliefs, and it is also likely to happen when we move into our units on persuasion. How do you typically respond when someone else says something that challenges, bothers, or offends you based on who you are and/or what you believe? (1 point) Question 2.6: What advice do you have for keeping our virtual classroom a (relatively) safe space, even when people have vehement disagreements with each other? (1 point) Part 3: Beliefs (2 points) Question 3.1: Identify an example of a topic that a speaker might use for a personal speech that might be too clich to have much of an impact upon their audience.

(1 point) Part 4: Narrative (4 points) Question 4.1: The Keywords entry on Narrative discusses communication scholar Walter Fisher's narrative paradigm, which consists of narrative coherence and narrative fidelity. Define each. (2 points). Question 4.2: Consider one of your favorite (or least favorite) books, movies, TV shows, or other examples of a narrative that your classmates and instructor are likely to know. Does applying the concept of narrative fidelity help explain what makes this a good (or bad) story? Why or why not? (1 point) Question 4.3: Is narrative fidelity a good way to judge the quality of a story? Why or why not? (1 point)
