For this assignment, take a look at headlines from the front page of a local newspaper or home page of a news website you often read. Make a list of ten headlines and indicate which of them report physical actions and which report speech acts. Make sure to include some discussion about your choice.

A good response to this post will include the ten headlines and discussion (2-3 sentences per headline) about whether they are physical actions or speech acts and the reasons for choosing it. For example:

1. Florida Man Hangs Giant Roll of Toilet Paper in Front Yard: this headline reports a physical action because the person physically hung a roll of toilet paper

2. Florida Man Claims Toilet Paper Rolls Will Multiply If You Just Have Faith: this headline reports a speech act because the person made this claim using either speech or writing.
