In chapter 11 of the Communication in a Civil Society, the book introduces readers to different ways to prepare a civil public speech. The chapter explains everything ranging from how to come up with ideas for your speech to how to deliver it effectively. Having read this chapter before I proceeded on doing my Speed Introduction Speech, helped me tremendously on what messages I should be communicating in my speech, which is the part that I have struggled the most in all of my writing and speech assignments. Furthermore, the book tell us that a specific speech statement is important because it will help us narrow down to the essential topics that need to be in the speech. With this knowledge in mind, I wrote down topics that will help introduce
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.

4. I thought both sides did an excellent job on using course readings in there speeches. The use of the quote, “a rhetor uses situated ethos to keep character” was really solid, it demonstrated the proposition’s point that situated ethos is need and more important than inventive. Another quote from the reading that was used was, “…speaker has good sense, good will, and good moral…” which I again that was extremely influential because it gave proof that character is influenced by situated ethos. If I had to critique, I would say I wish that the quotes where more center of the debate and also when they were used to be said more than once. However, the last critique is more of a personal want because I’m a slow writer. Overall, I thought the quotes that were used were extremely influential and crucial in this
How does this presentation fit into the class? Why is it important? (250 words strongly suggested)
Tevin’s portion of the speech was also a decent speech. Like my own portion, it had a good pace to it and also a good volume. There were some issues
The speaker had amazing eye contact and was very engaging. She gave the audience an amazing attention grabber, a preview of the main points, and why is her speech important and how it will benefit the audience. The way the speaker projected her voice was very well. Her overall introduction was marvelous and gave the audience and arousing feeling of interest.
In order to gather everyone’s ideas, I booked a group study room for discussion after class. Before our discussion, I shared snacks with them while watching the sample presentation together. To improve efficiency of the project, I asked members to think about their strengths that can be put into use in the presentation. After discussion, we agreed that students who did well in this chapter to summarize

Completing this introduction speech was a great experience for me overall I thought. I was actually first to complete my introduction speech amongst my peer classmates, so I driven to set the bar high and leave an example for the rest the class. Grading myself from the rubric on a scale of 100, I would grade myself at a 79.5% which would round up to a 80% which is a B on the grading scale. For the learning expectations for this assignment, I demonstrated effective delivery techniques and I created an identity that lets the class know who I am. I can admit that I struggled with the ability to organize information and present it a well organized form for my audience to grasp.
For the most part, our plan for the recitation went along smoothly. Many of the students paid attention throughout the class, and a lot of good discussion was generated on the topics we provided. The students gave each other useful feedback on their projects as well. One thing we did not accurately account for, however, was the length of the discussions. Some
