Time to put our words to the test!
Using your webcam, present a 2-3 minute video autobiography for the class to put a face with your name!
You may be thinking… I just introduced myself in the discussion this week!. Well, you’re right! But, you wrote your autobiography. Now I want you to speak it! It’s never too early to start practicing, and this will be a good tie-in to the first assignment of Week 2.
Be creative and have fun with this; you may want to share a fact or two about yourself that you didn’t share in our discussion this week.
It is always a good idea to jot some notes down and outline what you want to say. Also, I encourage you to rehearse a few times before you submit your final version. Practicing is the only way to get better!
Please submit your video by the due date to receive full credit.
