How's This? Better?
This is what I'm going to give the Public Speaking kids tomorrow. I'm looking for input here, Dear Readers. Tell me what you really think - and tell me in time to edit before I print out 20 of them for tomorrow morning...
Thanks!

It looks very good, and a bit difficult. I'm sure they have more practice at it at this point than me, but it seems like they might need some time to prep a table or create a format for taking notes before hand, since they will be analyzing a lot of information all at once.
Also, I'm curious how you will grade it? Are there right or wrong answers? Is everything subjective and will be graded on how they analyze/interpret information?
That last questions would be one where I would probably say, "you paid attention you get this one right...you didn't, you don't."
That's my two pence.
Sorry I didn't get this sooner! The worksheet looks great. Totally easy to follow.
Not gonna lie, there's a little spoon feeding going on but that's fine. In TCC's like yours spoon-feeding is allowed and almost expected. (I STILL get spoon-fed at Small Christian Pay WAAAAAAAY Too Much to Attend Here University)
I liked that the worksheet followed the general timeline of the speech i.e. you didn't put questions about the conclusion before the questions regarding the introduction.
Awesome work Mrs. Chili!
