Grade yourself, baby - Due Dec 3

Ideally, you will complete this assignment before your persuasive speech.

Here's what you'll do. You will watch your speech on DVD in the Annenberg Resource Center. This is in the West Lobby (not the lobby with TVs). You will sign in on the sheet in the center. There are two disks - if you see Kim in the dark, that's day one (my filming quickly got better). You can go at any time during regular office hours. This assignment is worth 10 points.

Please hand this in to me as an attachment in my inbox by Dec 3, last day of class
