The second presentation to be analysed is an informative speech delivered by a student named Vicky. Vicky attended her speech wearing appropriate attire for her audience. In my opinion, I think she was dressed appropriately, but she should have dressed in a server attire to enhance the mood of her speech. One of Vicky’s flaws in her presentation was her body language. Although she obtained good eye contact with her audience, she had some difficulties with her gestures and movements that could give off the wrong impression to her audience, such as using too many gestures with her hands and she often swayed while she was talking. These gestures could portray that she was nervous. Another fault she illustrated was her stance in which her hip was
(Q.2.) In comparison to my demonstration speech, I believe the introduction to my informative speech was much stronger, because I told a story instead of asking a question. My story allowed for my audience to have a mental picture of what I was talking about. How I related child development to my audience was much more effective in my informative speech than my demonstration speech. In my demonstration speech, not everyone raised their hand when I asked my question. In my informative speech, I related it to my audience by saying everyone has went through child development. I felt more confident in my informative speech because I practiced many times in front of my family and friends. I got marked points off for being too read-y in my demonstration speech, so for my informative speech I worked on not memorizing the whole thing. By not memorizing my informative speech I felt more confident while presenting.
My visual aid was the strongest part about my speech. I brought in the ingredients to make Tiramisu to show which brands I like to use for the recipe. I also prepared Tiramisu for the class as my hold interest technique. To relate the topic to the audience, I told them that they could make this recipe when they want to impress someone. My credibility was also convincing as I informed the class I had researched and compiled the best recipe. My introduction in general was concise and convinced the audience pay attention to the rest of my speech. I also thought my tone was conversational and not too formal.
For our presentation, I believe that we stated our main point, and reiterated it throughout the presentation that we wanted our fellow students to be able to understand the physiological influence of altitude on cerebral blood flow following a concussion. We included some sub points that were at a level of content that was appropriate for our audience, and I believe that our slide design emphasized relevant pictures rather than words, while maintaining the pictorial aspect of the rule of thirds. I believe that we could have emphasized the use of pictures rather that word throughout our presentation, as some our slides were indeed a bit too wordy. We meant to include a question and answer sequence within our presentation, but a lapse in our performance lead to this segment being excluded, so I
Standing at the front of the class, my nerves grew from a small, nagging annoyance to rampant thoughts of failure, causing me to scramble, my memory of the topic becoming fuzzy. My groupmate made his closing statement, which signaled to me that the hard part of our presentation was only just beginning. Watching several of my peers’ hands raise, it sunk in that the questioning phase of our presentation, and the only phase we could not thoroughly prepare for, had commenced.

The student felt very nervous at the first meeting and her nervous started to go away at the start of the next meeting. The student had an opportunity to read over the paper before the meetings to get more familiar with the topic. The audience seemed interested in the topic and asked questions
Having those makes my presentation deserving more than one point that I got from the class. Regarding about using the apple during my presentation is so risky because I do not eat apples, but in order to do an effective presentation I must do it and also there is a big purpose of it and that why I have to include the apple. Next is gesture, I think I did good on moving my hands because I actually used it to express on what I am going to say. And on my visual aids, I think there is no error and I used all the high quality pictures and somehow those pictures are connected to the topic that I talked about. Lastly, my appearance, I dressed up for that presentation because of the requirements even I hate wearing professional clothes. For my perspective, I think I still deserved more than one vote, but that is my personal perspective and it already happened, so I cannot do anything with
That situation is what had be fallen this particular student. At first glance at the model it can be seen that the craft was good, but it was lacking concept wise. It seemed undeveloped and was just done. In fact, one of the frequently asked questions from the jurors was where is the drainage on our model. The student attempted to explain and show where he had placed the drainage but was still unsuccessful in showing it. This was a clear example of a lacking visual. Having a good visual is important, but when communication is weak then the presentation still fails. Yet another mishap that befell the student. He spoke in a very low volume that was hard to understand even when standing next to him. A juror made a comment about how this presentation is like selling the idea to the audience, but if selling was the objective unfortunately he failed.A speaker must have confidence when selling his product. Yet the way he was speaking displayed a lack of confidence towards his work. Finally, and arguably the most important is knowing you idea and having the ability to explain
Support your presentation with the concepts discussed in class and in the text, and your personal experiences.
I visited my Rheumatology department and gathered local information, leaflets and booklets. I also spoke with my pharmacy department re side effects of medication and was given a BNF to refer to. Having relevant, meaningful and factual content was important to me. Once I had completed my research and gathered my evidence, I tried put my presentation together. It was time to call for the help of my daughter, who as very patient with me. Choosing the right colour back ground, font colour, use of colour images to make it more interesting, and to aid the understanding of Lupus and my case study, was not an easy task. Proving to be worthwhile as a result, I received a high grade. I became so worried about forgetting to say certain pieces of information that I wrote it all on the slide. My feedback made me aware that this just made them too busy and resulted in the size to small, hence making it hard for my audience to read them. To maintain my audience’s attention and stop looking them at me, I decided to hand out some models of hips, 3 in total, showing a healthy hip, degeneration of a hip and a hip replacement. Finally, my presentation was ready! Now for the delivery, having read the six steps to becoming an effective presenter by University of Leicester it still didn’t help with me being so nervous.
Take a moment and think about this lesson’s learning objective. What skills will you need to be successful? Consider presentations you’ve seen in the past. How does a speaker demonstrate that he or she is aware of the audience? How does a speaker use volume for effect? Should volume vary to emphasize a point? How
There were several practice sessions to time the presentation to meet the thirty-minute window. Frequent rehearsals in front of a mirror and audience helped with composure, slowing the pace of the delivery, flow of the elements of the presentation, and coordinating with the Power Point slides. Determining which points to relay to the audience and how to convey the education effectively was a growth opportunity. This evolution identified the necessity to add a few questions to invite audience participation. Copying supplementary educational packets was more time consuming than
This business is designed to sell the most high quality treating all consumers needs. Often times pillows are hard to get in the right position for sleeping, and these pillows will be created for maximum satisfaction. The student chose this idea because of wearing glasses and being uncomfortable while trying to use his pillows. Although the student did not state why they thought this idea was important he still showed passion about this business. I believe Colby’s business should be funded if the quality of the pillow is as true as he claims. Also, if the business plan is elaborate and well thought out. Colby’s non-verbal skills were great throughout his presentation which is why I am giving him a 3 on all three elements of the non-verbal skills. He does a good job of talking about his product while displaying consistent eye contact, and not looking at his notes often. Although he did make many movements and gestures during this quick presentation most of these movements enhanced his overall presentation. He also made minor mistakes during the presentation, and when he did make mistakes he did not let it affect his rhythm as it was solid throughout. My suggestions would be to minimize his movements slightly, and have eye contact throughout the whole presentation. I am giving Colby a 3 for enthusiasm because he showed interest in his product, but he could have been more
the speaker did gain the attention of the audience through the use a story. the speaker did organize the speech in accordance to the five steps in the Monroe Motivated Sequence. using statistics and examples the speaker did develope a strong persuasive argument he did give a solution by giving others ways for teachers to communicate with there students in a safe enviroment The speaker did provide a visualization step after presenting the need and satisfaction he also made a point to state the consequenses the speaker summarized and ended with an impact. He also Made great eye contact, used conversational style of delivery, and used moderate jestures but only used 3 sources during
There are two main points that really stood out to me. First was impression management, more specifically, the (mis)alignment of expressions given and expressions given off. This is so common in everyday life. One of our goals as life actors is confirming that others are making a good impression, but we often struggle to convey that because of a misalignment in our explicit verbal cues
