mdavis writes "The Cornhusker Forensics Summer Institute would like to invite coaches from around the state to join us on UNL's campus on Friday, July 17th for a special coaches' day. Free handouts and lunch will be provided by the camp. We hope this will be a chance for coaches to get together and discuss issues facing the world of forensics.
Likely topics of discussion will include: fund raising, using technology to help your team, finding and sharing literature, finding topics, challenges facing new coaches, recruiting, and many more. We're trying to line up some speakers for the group this year as well. If you would like to participate or present please let us know. Once we have a list of interested coaches we will send out an official schedule. Also, if there are topics you would like to discuss please let us know.
Please RSVP by July 1st to:

Hello --
You will find the State Debate Championship invite attached to this email.
A few things to note:
When I receive all of the congress bills I will send them out for a quick vote to help set the docket.
Top vote getters will be in super/honors congress. The remaining bills will be for prelims. Each
school will have a bill on the docket before any school's second bill is added.
NSAA State LD debate will be held on Friday, March 20. The Nebraska State Activities
Association is in charge of that tournament. Your entries are due to the NSAA office by March 2. Your activities director will have the information for that tournament. The NSCTA tournament
will start that evening (Friday) with POLICY ONLY. On Saturday morning we will continue
the policy tournament and begin public forum and congress.
If you have any questions please let me know.

Anonymous writes "We're replacing our speech textbooks next year, and I need to order samples. Right now we're using The Basics of Speech by Galvin et. al. w/ 1994 c date. Our speech class is one semester, required for graduation aimed at sophomore level. Therefore, our text has to be accessible to everybody from the top genius to the SPED kids. The focus is on public speaking because interpersonal is covered in other parts of our curriculum. I make performance, not textbook assignments, the focus of the class, but we do need some kind of text for basic terms. Any suggestions? Post here, or preferably e-mail choward@esu15.org" |

Anonymous writes "I'm looking to a 21st Century Learning Project Dealing With Intercultural Communication; however, I'm having difficulty trying to find a collaborative class(preferably international).
Here's a brief description:
Project Idea: You work at a public relations/communication consulting firm and have been hired by a company that is moving many of their offices over to a foreign country ; they want to acclamate their workers to functioning well in the new country. Demonstrate how to:
1. How to Make introductions
2. Work Etiquette Policies/Accept Criticisms
3. Giving Others Criticism
4. How to Give Presentations;
5. Eating at a Business Events;
6. Making Requests
Creating a iMovie, iWeb, or Podcast;
In turn, a firm from a foreign country will make an introductory video about American customs;
You will exchange your presentations to the other company for evaluation and feedback throughout the presentation. If you need feedback as the project goes, reference your peers in the other country, podcasts, and professional sites; Do not base your impressions on popular culture references.
If anyone has ideas for potential contacts or other modes of inquiry, I'd appreciate it; you can e-mail me at bmohr@esu8.org." |
