My Persuasive Speech On Overall Performance

First, I will start with the aspects that I have exceled at during my informative speech. The first strength would be the use of my sources and how I included them and cited them in the presentation. Overall I found 6 great sources which helped be better

I am sure that everyone of you have heard about aliens and UFOs. Indeed, we all have heard about the famous case of aliens and UFOs in Roswell, New Mexico. Most people might be interested in the topic of aliens, but I know that the majority of you just think of it as rumours and the existence of them are impossible. Therefore, I am standing here in front all of you to make you change your perspective. I am strongly confident that I have found the evidence of their real existence to convince all of you.

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.

I gave a speech about making a strawberry-banana smoothie. Overall, I feel as if I did a good job on this speech. It was an informative speech. Therefore, my goal was to teach people how to make a strawberry-banana smoothie. I feel like any person who saw the speech and the related demonstration would have been able to make a strawberry-banana smoothie. In addition, I feel like I kept the speech simple, so that someone could replicate the process at home without having to refer to notes or any written materials. My peer critiques agree with my self-assessment that the speech was good, overall, but highlighted an area for improvement.

Persuasive speech outline purpose: To persuade my audience to donate blood through the American Red Cross. Introduction:

My introduction to speech was effective and caught the audience’s attention. Making sure I had an attention getter, creditability and a thesis statement kept the audience engaged. The main points that I decided to over in my speech were that Letchworth State Park offers yearlong activities, tons of hiking trails to explore, and camping for everyone. I believe that I got my

Have you served in a war? Has your father or mother served in a war? How about your grandpa? As we honor those who have served we typically do so by standing for the pledge of allegiance or star spangled banner. We say thank you to our war heroes or we go and visit them and listen to their stories. In this paper I will be discussing why NFL players should not be allowed to kneel for the flag. Although the NFL players have the right to peacefully protest, they should find a different way than kneeling as it shows disrespect towards the flag also active duty military and veterans, it teaches young children this behavior is okay, what they are protesting has nothing to do with the flag and there are many different ways to get their message out.

I think that my delivery of my persuasive speech was the best I have done all semester. I feel as if I made eye contact and keep eye contact with the audience for majority of the speech. I only used my notecards to keep me on track with the PowerPoint and I used differing facial expressions, for example when I was talking about the puppy mills I did not smile and was very serious about the concern of the puppies. I believe that my voice varied throughout my speech to bring emphasis to certain topics that I covered. I feel as if I did not gesture much during my speech, but when I did I gestured toward example

C. As long as schooling increases the marginal return to work more than crime and schooling does not decrease patience levels or increase risk aversion.

One of my weakest point was the topic of my speech. After I made my speech, I realized that the topic I choose was not that interesting. I should have been more careful at the time to choose my topic. I think at some point I felt I lost my audience due to the topic. Moreover, this could be other possible reason why at some point I did not feel connection with them. The topic was interesting for me and I felt enthusiastic about it, but my audience was not. However, this just an assumption, could be due to others unknow

I focused on explaining why yoga has become so popular in present society. My intent with this speech was to clear up misconceptions about yoga, explain why it has become more modern, and how people benefit especially students from yoga practice. My performance and writing in this speech improved and I was able to convey my key points in a way that connected to my audience. It was noted by both my professor and fellow classmates that I made my speech more personal which connected to my audience better. My delivery improved because I had better verbal skills with clear articulation and used an energetic tone. I still had issues with over-reliance on my speech aid and lacking body movement. I had okay eye contact which negatively affected my relationship with the audience. After this speech my goal was to spend more time developing my writing and have more body movement during my

I dressed for the speech and illustrated the public about my speech. The relation to my attire and speech should have been clear with no explanation. I supported my topic with a background story and with a quote. This helped emphasize my belief. I wish I had a bit of time to memorize my outline and speech completely. Reading from cards helped but was inappropriate to read directly from them. The way I prepared for my speech included the repetition of my speech while timing myself. I tried to practice my speech in front of a mirror in order to look at myself while

I felt like I was going to say more about my topics, mostly to the fact that I forgot some things when I got up there. I also wish I would have gone into more detail about my family and where I work. Next time I will defiantly practice more and be more prepared; I will try to balance out my eye contact to the whole room and try not to look at my poster as much as I should. To improve from this presentation, I will start working on my speech earlier than I did this time and try to get more stuff prepared for it instead of the week of the presentation to try to come up with something quick. When we start our informative speech I plan on finding my information early and becoming familiar with it then putting everything together. Last time I got a bunch of my poster done and then realized that I want to change something. Then I had to change a whole part of my poster, so definitely on this next speech I will plan out what I'm going to do a lot better. When I was watching the presentations it was very easy to see who practiced and was prepared and who

For example, using a leftover coffee can for loose nails or screws, or even washing and reusing a plastic zip-loc bag instead of throwing it in the garbage. Thrift shopping is a way of reusing someone else’s unwanted goods. As I spoke about in an earlier speech about thrifting, I included many locations and ways to thrift, also the benefits to the shopper and the donator. One place in particular was shopping at the local boys and girls club. I personally shop there, keeping my eyes open for a good deal. For example, the pair of jeans that I am wearing today was purchased from this store just a few months ago. I paid only $8.00 for this pair of Lucky Jeans and according to buckle.com, a retailer for lucky jeans the retail price is $99.00 that is a savings to me of $91.00.I am not the type to worry about name brands, but quality usually does cost more. If I can get a quality pair of jeans at a fraction on the price, I am glad to shop at the thrift store. I am thankful to the person that made the donation of the lucky jeans and they can benefit from that donation. According to the IRS webpage, IRS. Gov it explains that an individual can donate items like clothing, household furniture and furnishings, a car or boat, even taxidermy. The donations are appraised, by the donator, and recorded. At the time of filing taxes if the donation equals at least $500 for the year, the donator may take advantage of the

For the next week, I spent a good amount of everyday crying. This was because I thought I would never cheer again. The one thing I love that I am remotely good at had been taken away from me and I had nothing. But, that monday, my coach walked up to me in the crowded and noisy school hallway and said, “You weren't scared away from cheerleading were you?”, and with that, I came home and told my mom, “Mom, could call the tumbling coach and make an appointment for when I am cleared?” and in that moment I knew I couldn`t give up and would only get better. I wasn’t going to mope around, which is why I went to every cheer practice, even the optional ones my healthy teammates didn’t go to, and saw my friends tumbling on the blue panel mats. I watched videos of people tumbling daily, and told myself that I am not the kind of person who will ever be scared away from something. The sadness and angriness never went away, but the determination grew stronger until it crushed everything else. Everything was improving, and I even started to like physical therapy. About two months later, I walked into my intimidating doctor`s office, he told me to give him the removable cast I had been given, and then he threw it in the trash and said, “you're cleared.” These words were not good enough to make me describe my emotions as, “happy” or “filled with joy”. What I felt simply cannot be described in any other way then, “ready”. I was so extremely ready to be a cheerleader again that I
