WEEK 1
The readings this week talk about about freedom of speech and the First Amendment. What limits do you think there should be re. freedom of speech? What do you think of “hate speech” laws? Review at least one of the freedom of speech websites listed in this week’s reading materials to help develop your response. Remember to also respond to the postings of your classmates. Finally, let’s keep it civil! This is a potentially divisive topic, but it can be discussed respectfully.
DQ2
This week’s material has ten videos that comment on regional speech. Please watch all the videos and share your reactions. How has regional communication worked in your life?
DQ3
courses you’ve taken is that you need to record, save, and upload videos of
your speeches and interview. For some students, this will be easy because
you’ve either done this kind of thing before or you pick up on this kind of
thing easily. For others, this may not be the case. Therefore, please start
working on this skill set this week; don’t wait and take a chance on not
getting it and not submitting your first video correctly and on time.
Please record, save and upload a quick practice video on
YouTube. It can be very brief and on anything you want. It’s ungraded, but
please post a response here, including the link to your practice video, after
you’ve done it. If you want, you can delete it after this week. The important
thing is that you know how to do it. Also, don’t just upload an existing file.
Part of the process is recording, saving the recording as a distinct file, and
uploading.
Finally, please set your videos as Unlisted, not Private. If
they are Unlisted, only those of us with the link can view them, not the whole
world.
