The frame that best describes my group would most definitely be the symbolic frame. Essentially, our whole presentation was based on creativity and theatrics. No one wanted a typical, boring presentation. However, I believe it was a bit ineffective. I feel amongst the good time and fun the topic of sexuality, its role in society and organizations, and how it affects everyone daily got lost. This is essentially a barrier that comes with the symbolic frame. Though I felt like these concepts were lost, I did like that we had an open forum at the end of the game show. This allowed everyone to ask questions, or discuss openly about the topic, which was good. Overall, I liked that our group did not go the typical route of a presentation with
Hints: You must limit your presentation to twelve (12) slides. You do not want to overwhelm your audience with too many slides or bore them with information they already know.
What is…. And what could be? That is how a presentation can go depending on how you present your message. Using Steve Jobs and MLK (both known to history as being great speakers and motivators), Nancy Duarte showed that these men did not rely on some pre-written speech to dictate how their messages would come across. Establishing your point, acknowledging what is and what could be, and finally say why others should listen to what you have to say. It is also critical to make sure you are addressing the right audience. If you stick to a boring presentation, there is no clear vision for the future.
Areas of strength identified were research done and completed, PowerPoint set up before staff arriving, voice projection, keeping the audience engaged and remaining flexible with the flow of the presentation. The game after kept staff engaged and offered further discussion and details on subjects. The game also allowed staff to collaborate with one another. Taking a short survey and limiting the questions allowed for staff to complete the survey quickly. The survey allowed informtion to be gathered that was
I enjoyed how the meeting was structured because it allowed each member an equal amount of time to speak. The leader initiated the meeting by stating that it was an obligation to speak. After he passed around a black box with popsicle sticks that had different words written on them. Each person would blindly take one out and read out loud the word that was written in the stick. There was one particular member that drew out the stick that read the word “free”. He then proceeded to state that
Question #1: Make a list of 3 instances of figurative language used by the poet. What type of figurative language is used (identify your examples as simile or metaphor) and what is being compared.
So the audience can continue to be interested in the presentation. I think the middle is where the audience , starts to decide if they like what the are listening to , thats why I will like to have a killer plot to this presentation bring my thoughts,charisma and maybe some jokes to the presentation. Giving the audience the feeling the presentation will continue to mind blowing them .The ending will be my ending conclusion, in which I will have already established and even closure, what is the meaning of this presentation and why is being delivered to the audience in this way. Something I want the audience to remember is the powerful plot I had in my presentation. Also something that they should also remember the information I deliver to them as a
The presentation lasted a total of 45 minutes. There were a total of 15 participants both male and female. The presentation consisted of a 12 slide PowerPoint covering the following areas of content:
Build a presentation informing an audience about at least two of the most popular types of social gatherings within your time period.
Metaphor: A metaphor is a form of speech that a word or phrase is given to an object or action. The object or action should not be literally applicable.
In regard to props, I believe Amanda and Meghan did a very well thought out presentation with excellent delivery. For example, Amanda aligned all the desks in the classroom standing up and built a sort of human pigsty for the audience. She proceeded to make us enter the pigsty and remain there for the opening of her speech, in which she was presenting the notion and painting a mental picture for the audience of how it must feel for a pig or how a pig is basically kept. Following this, she disclosed that those are the conditions that pigs live in but we’re not pigs so we could get out of pigsty. When Amanda completed the routine, she had not only introduced her topic of pigs and painted a mantel picture of what side she was arguing but she also captivated the attention of the entire audience. Through the use of this technique, she also appealed to the audience sense of ethos by comparing us to pigs and our moral character on how we would feel if we were treated in that manner. Similarly, Meghan began her speech by making her phone ring, which automatically got the attention of the audience and gave us a pretty big hint at the topic that would be discussed. I also really enjoyed that the ringtone she chose was an alarm type of phone ring, which basically
What went well in all of the presented presentation; knowing the information, having an attentive audience, and presenting with confidence. Our first presentation was at the Red Apple adult center, we had props to help clarify the information. Information presented was descriptive to distinguish each section of the presentation. At the end of the presentation, we played a game called spine and show. The did very well by responding to all questions. When it all done and over, we received hugs and a lot of questions about stains on teeth. Another point that worked well during the
Symbolic Interaction focuses on a micro view of society. It focuses on a small scale perspective of interaction between individuals. Imagine you`re with a friend instead of looking at large scale structures like education or law, since we are looking at the small scale symbolic interaction explains the individual in a society and their interactions with others and through that it can explain social order and change.
Emerging out of the Chicago School in the 1920, symbolic interactionism is a theory that looks at the concrete daily life of individuals and how these individuals shape society as opposed to society being imposed upon them; a direct counter-argument to positivism. The major focus of symbolic interactionism in on the subjective meanings that individuals assign to objects, events, and behaviors. Based on this, society is said to be created as a result of human interpretation.
Before telling the theory, Ryan asks what everybody wants in life. Hari answers something about his girlfriend and Surdy wants to know who Hari’s girlfriend is. Actually the question is intended for Hari but Ryan takes the charge and says it is not his business which appears to be violation of maxim of relation. He should have told Surdy Hari’s girlfriend’s name but he and Hari do not want everybody to know it. In order to hide the information from others, Ryan violates maxim of relation. It also violates tact maxim as Ryan impolitely suggests Surdy that you don’t have anything to do with that. To be polite, his reply should have been ‘we do not want you to know Hari’s girlfriend’s name.’ On the contrary, Ryan suggests Surdy not to ask Hari’s girlfriend’s name. But as stated earlier this conversation has taken place between friends so; friends do say something impolitely as it is an informal conversation. Close friends do not mind if anyone of them uses impolite language with them.
The broken way of creating a presentation, is the main reason that no one ever volunteers to sit through a presentation. When most people think about a presentation, the first word that comes to
