After the first semester I made several changes to the course. I incorporated two more writing assignments and the use of a portfolio. I changed the first speech to a more dramatic presentation and gave the last speech the possibility of being comic while still focusing on complex speaking devices. I integrated RamCT for student examples, announcements and assignments. SP Service Learning. The impetus for this revision came from my thesis. I revised the course to include an actual community speaking assignment, service learning hours, a full Invitational speech and several critical thinking and reflection activities.
