The persuasive speeches were much intriguing than the informative speeches. Hearing my classmates opinion on a topic that has meaning to them was exciting to watch. The two speakers I decided to critique are Jack and Jennifer. Jack and Jennifer both prepared superb presentations. Their introductions grabbed my attention and intrigued me to listen to every word, especially Jen when she listed the traits of a healthy baby formula. Then when she said it was breastfeeding, it caught everyone's attention. Jennifer lacked eye contact with the audience, she was reading from a paper. On the contrary, she presented great statistics about the benefits of breastfeeding. She also attacked the opposing argument effectively. Her visual aid comparing breastfeeding
The speaker’s delivery was good, they were so nice and socialized. They were all standing and walking around the class room when they were giving the speech, they were asking audience questions, discussions and everybody contributed in the class room, they speakers were not loud, their voice was good for audiences, they were speaking slowly so that everybody can understand, they used their hands to explain things and also read PowerPoint to audience, Yes speakers were natural, at ease, direct and communicative which make the speech interesting and understandable to audience. Speakers were organized and they were not using terms that audience may not understand and they were not just repeating one thing. Speech was really going smoothly. Yes there was introduction, which is how everybody generally has their own primary love languages for receiving love and giving love, Body was to known the love languages such as words of Affirmation, Quality time, Receiving Gifts, Acts of service and Physical touch and conclusion was knowing the love languages is powerful, but knowing how they work in your relationships that is the game changer.
My presentation consisted of 13 slides discussing a variety of topics: my background, my freshman year of high school, my thoughts on college as a high schooler, diversity, what colleges look for in potential students, how expensive college is, how i feel about college now as a freshman, high school regrets, and other advice. I answered various questions ranging from relationship advice to how intense my transition from high school to college was. During the session, which lasted an hour for each group, there was no teacher present, simply
The idea of trying to persuade the class into buying into your idea required a much different approach than we are used to, as now class interaction is a much, much larger portion of the project. This approach was, in my opinion, much more involved and beneficial, but, at the same time, worse than a ‘normal’ research project. Being such a new method of presenting, there was a lot of confusion. I heard throughout the week, and even on the presentation day, that people still didn’t quite understand what they were doing. Fortunately, the solution is simple, we just need more experience and practice with this alternative approach to presenting. Overall, I hope we do more innovative and interesting takes on presentations because normal ones are not as fun or
Greetings Captain Jack and my fellow Modocs, today I would like to speak to you on behalf of the government's proposal.
Her powerpoint appeared cluttered and distracted the audience with the sheer amount of words on each slide. The powerpoint did not offer a clear comprehensive overview of the speech, but rather contained the entire speech on the slides, which overwhelmed the audience with information. Moreover, her first hand account of her withdrawal from sugar was ineffective in persuading her audience to change their habits because she emphasized the negative side effects. When persuading people to make a change, especially one that may have negative short term consequences, it is better to downplay the negativity so people will try it. Although I appreciate her honesty, I would rather have heard how much better she feels from a sugar free life than shaking from
I really enjoyed watching the speech that you chose and reading your post. I watched a speech by Samuel Cohen about raising awareness of the devastating disease Alzheimer’s. I think that both of the speakers did a wonderful job in the delivery of their speech. When Samuel Cohen was giving his speech, he was very sober and wasn’t smiling. This is because it wasn’t a story that he should have been happy about telling about unlike the speaker Mandy Len Catron who gave a more upbeat speech. Both speakers used their hands appropriately when giving their speeches and had good use of visual aids to enhance their speeches and to get their points across. Both speeches were very different and I liked watching both of them because they both did a very
Group one, I really enjoyed listening to your discussion on the short story, “Love in L.A,” by Dagoberto Gilb. Your tone of voice kept me intrigued throughout the entire presentation. It is well put together and you also make it easy to follow along with even if you have not read the story. It is helpful that you started it with a summary of the story and then with an explanation of a biological strategy. It provided a better understanding about what is about to be thoroughly discussed in your presentation. It also makes it clear as to why it is helpful in literature. “It gives you, the reader, more insight into the characters and events that happen so that you can better understand everything. In knowing the author’s intentions behind the
I thought the first speech “Gut explosion and funnel cakes,” by Amanda Erck was executed with real class. I particularly like how she used an embarrassing story and turned it around into a positive. I thought she built up ethos perfectly by explaining her disease. She really drew me in explaining what Celiac Disease was and what kinds thing she can and cannot eat. Amanda was able to stress big points by using humor. The line that stuck out to me, in particular, was when she started talking about carnival food. She said that a “small crumb of a crouton would make her insides like the worst part of a Hurr-a-whurl ride.” I thought that was a great use of figurative language, giving the audience a clear visual.
I will be critiquing my persuasive speech on puppy mills. The issue of puppy mills is one that is very important to me, and I was very dedicated to my speech. My speech informed the audience of the detrimental effects that puppy mills have on dogs, possible solutions to the problem, and how the audience could help. My persuasive goal was to try and convince the audience to help put a stop to the issue of puppy mills by adopting a dog from a shelter or rescue organization, or contacting their local legislature about the issue. My speech had assets and drawbacks which were apparent in my content and delivery. My strengths included my PowerPoint, the emotional appeal, and the commitment to my topic. My weaknesses were the length of my speech, maintaining eye contact, and my verbal delivery. However, these can be amended using several easy methods, such as timing myself while I practice, writing notes on my cards to remind me to keep eye contact, and practicing more in general. The most vital aspect of my speech was that it exhibited strong features.
The presentation of Kathleen Pena on How to Change a Disposable Diaper was actually pretty interesting. She included her thesis in her introduction which also had a great hook, in which she made a connection with the audience. The body paragraphs gave good explanation on the procedures on how to change a diaper, and on the tips. Which was explained clearly so that the audience could understand. Her conclusion ended with another connection with the audience, her whole speech had enough visual aids showing the procedures on changing a diaper. Overall she did a good job, but one thing that I noticed that she moved a
“Lecture” and “boring” are two words often synonymous. A lecture will frequently feature a deluge of scientific data, equitable facts, well-supported inferences, unbiased jargon, charts, graphs, and statistics. And a bored audience. While a lecture can pioneer new scientific exploration and present phenomenal achievement, it holds little value if it cannot inspire its audience. In order for a lecture to interest the everyday individual, it needs to provide a clear connection to the everyday world. Firstly, the speaker must deliver his or her data in a discussion format comprehensible to the audience. Then, the speaker must excite the audience with powerful emotional appeals. An effective lecture – now, truly, a presentation – appeals to an
The outlines help. It is also nice to try and do it on your own. My persuasive speech was the best one out of all of them. My topic, Immigration is happening too much, was seen by few people, but I believe I made them see the negative outcomes of it. My voice was a little shaky though as I was getting closer to the end.
Second of all, a vital component of a speech would be the use of persuasive techniques. These tactics can go along way for any speech to reach the audience in a more meaningful way. Persuading the audience will allow for better engagement. For instance, the book
As a speaker, I determined that my audience was the classroom and begin to shape my speech towards
I thought the presentation that involved a lot of the books we read were kind of repetitive. I would not have been able to write a 12 page paper on something I have already read about. I did enjoy the education, the conflict management aspects to the presentation. I hope the nursing aspect was not completely boring to the business people. I enjoyed Jen talking about nurse residency programs. They are the up and coming thing now, and because I have been a nurse for a while I do not have any participation with them. I just hear other nurses
