By reflecting upon my Values Speech, I will be more aware of what skills I have already accomplished and what skills I need to improve on in order to prepare myself better for the next big speech as well as to further improve my public speaking skills. Now that I look back at the recording of my presentation, I clearly saw strengths that were shown, but there were also weaknesses that I revealed, diminishing the overall powerful effect that my speech should have gave. As I watched Amy Cuddy’s TED
Speech “I’m sorry, Molly, but I can’t understand you”, “Can you repeat that for me? “I’m sorry, what?” “It's not _______ it’s ________”. These were the responses that I heard most often while I was learning to speak. When I was younger, I had a hard time communicating. No one could understand what I was saying and I was told that I frequently sounded like I was in a tunnel. These responses were very frustrating as I was learning to speak. I knew what I was trying to say and I was baffled why other
With regards to my strengths, I would say that the introduction to my speech fulfilled its role of being a strong attention grabber. I believe beginning the speech with a personal story drew the attention of my classmates while also making it more personable and accessible. Through my introduction I was able to easily provide information about myself, while simultaneously engaging my classmates all while informing them of my ethnicity, history, and culture. I felt my incorporation of humor served
debate is beneficial to me, and how it helped me throughout my school year and my later life in general. Such as how to speak clearly, extend my voice and how to pronounce and enunciate clearly so that my voice is vocalized clearly and in a way that is in a way that is very understandable to everyone. Which can be seen on numerous occasions from ballots at the beginning of the year such as “ AST # 1 ” which I learned a lot from as it was my first debate and at this tournament I took congressional debate
Everyone has room for improvement, and you can always improve. As a speech therapy assistant I have used self evaluation, student feedback, colleague feedback, and learner progress to measure my teaching. These assessments have helped me develop my successes and tweak my skills when necessary. For one thing, education and children have changed thru history. Communication skills require coaching, involve teacher modeling, and are necessary skill for students to acquire today. I have educated
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
audience. With each speech I gave, I believe I improved with not only my delivery but also my content in each speech. My introductions and conclusions became stronger with each speech. Not that I had a problem with them, but there is always room for improvement. The amount of filler words I used from my first speech to my last drastically decreased. The ones I used most of the time were “um” and “uh”. The structures of my speeches improved as well. At first, I had no solid structure to my information and
The topic I chose for my persuasive speech was “Why the minimum wage should be raised”. I chose this topic because it was a topic recently discussed in my history class. After being educated on the issue I thought knew enough that, through additional research, would be able to deliver a well-planned speech. It is also an issue that is viewed as controversial. When it comes to controversial issues you have to become educated on both sides of the issue. I chose the “in favor” standpoint because it
Part 1: Reflection on Speech Content Preparation My topic drowning and it proceeded to cover the statistics of drowning, how to prevent drowning by overcoming risk factors, and how to preform CPR presented by Jeff Ellis & Associates Inc. techniques in five to six minutes to fulfill the time requirement in the outline. I decided to go with drowning due to my prior experience as a lifeguard in 2015 at The Big Splash which is in Grove City, Ohio; this would provide a level of confidence in that I had
