This week in Oral Communication, we read two chapters regarding how to give an effective presentation, using vocal variety, pitch, and other techniques. One type of speech that was mentioned was impromptu speech and extemporaneous speech, which are sometimes used interchangeably, but are different. Impromptu speech is little or no use of notes or an outline, while extemporaneous speech involves preparing a speech so that it comes across as spontaneous and natural. The assignment that we had to complete with regard to this week's assignment was that of a crossword "quiz"; that is, we had to enter the answers in crossword form. I tried copying and pasting the quiz, but it didn't work; so I typed out the answers and submitted them through Assignment Manager that way.
This week in Fiction, we had to read and comment on the story "Greasy Lake", which describes the setting in which the characters find themselves. It was really eerie how the story seemed to mirror their lives and how they almost didn't get a chance to make things better for themselves. A dead body is discovered in the lake, which leads the narrator to want to do better.
