Sophia public Speaking, dealing with it... - cecilgambe7 - 06-17-2021
Hello community
Today is my day number 14 with the Sophia Public Speaking course, everything is done (still waiting for the assignment nro2 grade), but not the two videos.
So I am working with my first video, just writing the speech.
My question is the following, did this video not require a visual resource (slides, or a big printed sheet behind me)?
From what I had read earlier in the forum, I thought this was necessary, but it is not a requirement that is requested by the assignment.

I didn't use any visual aids in my videos. There wasn't really anything that worked for my topic, and I could afford to be docked some points.

I just printed out a monochrome 8.5" x11" chart I downloaded from the Net. At least when I took the course, it was definitely in the rubric.
At one point I held it up and said, "As you can see from this chart..."

the first speech, Touchstone #3, does not require a visual aid but the "retake" which is Touchstone #4 DOES require a visual aid. It can be a VERY simple visual like a sheet of paper with a few statistics or a picture illustrating a point.

I put a basic powerpoint(only took a few minutes to throw it together) on the tv behind me which helped me to organize the flow of my presentation without the need for a teleprompter or brute memorization.
