Submit a written outline for the Tribute Speech based on the guidelines given
Guidelines for the Speech of Tribute:
The Speech of Tribute (or sometimes referred to as a Commemorative Speech) is a classification of special occasion  speech. You probably have heard one of these at sometime. It may have been at a funeral. It is called a eulogy at a funeral and is given to honor and remember the person who has died. But the tribute speech is also given at other times. Sometimes it is given at banquets to recognize or honor special people and their contributions. It is a very special speech used to inspire an audience to feel something about a person, a group of people, or an institution.
The speech can be given on a person that you admire who you do not know, or it can be given on someone you know quite well. For example, you may wish to pay tribute to an athlete, musician, artist, author, etc. which you admire or you might  pay tribute to your grandmother, mother, a friend, a leader or someone that you know well. It doesn’t matter to me. What matters is that this speech requires sincerity. You must sincerely feel that the person deserves tribute. Also the person does not have to be dead. It may be someone of importance to you in your daily life. A tribute speech can also be given on an institution or a group of people. In that case you might choose a group such as a favorite sports team or Veterans of the US Armed Forces.
As you begin to organize this speech I encourage you to follow the rule of 2-5 main points in the body of the speech which is detailed in the textbook. For example, if you are paying tribute to your grandmother, you might want to discuss her 1. love of God and church, 2. her love of community, and 3. her love of family.  More than likely, you will use topical organization (textbook).  These are the things I will look for as I grade the speech. These are all examples but the point is that you must carefully word and organize the speech. Read the section in the book on the  tribute speech and watch some sample speeches. You might consider the Eulogy of Rosa Parks, given by Oprah Winfrey.
The speech should be 4-6 minutes. It is not the length that matters but the content and delivery. Use extemporaneous delivery for the speech. Email or post on the discussion board any questions or concerns that you have as you work on the speech.

Instructions
1. Reflect
Reflect over the content from recent previous classes. The below questions are meant to be “thought-starter” questions.  You are not meant to answer each one after another.  Simply creatively share a few things that resonated with you:
Which ideas in the videos/text were most interesting to you? Most challenging?
What was your favorite part of the content in last week’s material?
What concepts from last week are the easiest to see in your own life? 
What strategies (for reading, test-taking, etc.) do you plan to employ this week in class? 
2. Create
Once you’ve taken some time to reflect on the content that connected with you the most last week, it’s time to create! Craft some kind of deliverable that serves as a reflection of your experience with last week’s materials. You might create something that explores a concept, connects an idea from class with your own life or pop culture, etc.  This prompt is being kept intentionally open-ended because we want you to engage with the material in a way that speaks to you. Here are some examples of deliverables that could be created (but please don’t limit yourself to these):
A write-up, presentation, or video exploring how a piece of media (literature, movie, TV show, music, video game, etc.) demonstrates or connects with key concepts from a chapter we covered. 
A piece of art/poetry/music inspired by something we covered in class. 
A study guide covering the most important concepts from the last week.
A personal reflection (via writing, video, music, podcast, etc.) that discusses what connected with you most from the week and how you might apply it to your life. 
A written skit or video demonstrating a key concept from last week.
Double-check your submission to make sure it is viewable.
Double-check your submission to make sure it is formatted in the fashion you desire.

To best understand how gender affects communication (and vice versa), this short

To best understand how gender affects communication (and vice versa), this short reflective essay asks you to turn your lens inward to explore your own gender identity and development. This essay requires that you consider how you know yourself as a gendered person and the formative experiences that contributed to your current gender identity. You should consider your own gender, sex, sexuality, race, class, age, and other identity factors as well as education, workplace, family life, and other environmental factors that influence who you are.
This is a personal essay and therefore you can use personal pronouns (“I”). It does not require any outside research. Instead, consider how you have constructed your own concept of gender over time, how it has changed, and how you communicate your gendered identity to the outside world. You may refer to concepts from the course materials as well. Of course, include only what you feel comfortable including in a personal essay (note: essays will remain confidential). This is really a self-reflection to get you thinking about how factors in your personal and public-facing environments influence your identity. Also consider how your identity changes based on where you are: at home, at work, at school, at the gym, etc.
Sample Essay Structure:
Paragraph 1: Introduction that states the purpose of your essay and provides a roadmap for the essay structure
Paragraph 2: Overview of Your Intersectional Identities (minimum of 3)
Paragraph 3-6: Exploration of each facet of identity individually (one paragraph each)
Paragraph 7–9: Analysis of how parts of your identity intersect in different times/spaces
Paragraph 10: Conclusion explaining what you have discovered through this reflective exercise
The essay should be 4 pages (appx. 1000 words) and follow standard essay formatting: 12pt font, Times New Roman, double-spaced, 1-inch margins. I have provided a sample student essay for guidance, but obviously your essay should be personal to you.
