You have been elected by your student cohort to be the key speaker at the annual Communication Student Conference

You have been asked to talk on the following topic: ?Why
Communication is Important?.

You will take into account the following when writing this speech:

a) audience
b) communication theory
c) public speaking/persuasive communication

a) audience: your speech will be delivered to a conference of
communication students. For this reason, you will need to
write an informed and well-constructed presentation;

students, you will need to use communication theory as
evidence of your knowledge of the field (theory). You should
use at least three theories of communication to support your
argument. These theories can be drawn from any discussed in
the lectures from Weeks 1 ? 8: for example, self-disclosure;
social penetration theory; symbolic interaction; group think;
communication accommodation, framing/agenda setting,
discourse, narrative theory.

You will need to include at least 3 academic sources on these
theories in your presentations. Please note: LECTURES ARE
NOT ACADEMIC SOURCES.

c) public speaking techniques: construct your speech using some
of the available techniques of public speaking/persuasive
communication. Simple readings on this topic will be available
on e-reserve.

Throughout your 1,200 word speech you will use footnotes to indicate
when you have consciously used a public speaking/persuasive
communication technique.

In those footnotes just mention in a single sentence or two which
technique you used, and cite the source from which you drew this
technique.

You must find your own sources.
