Video Demonstration Speech Analysis

In my Powerpoint display I am creating an easy to follow guide for the CNWL and BCS App-a-thon. This display consists of ten slides. Each slide gives information about the event and what to expect on the day. For example No.1.Outline slide is about the underlying contents of the event 2.Introduction slide is basically saying what the event is all about 3.What is a mobile app slide, states the mobile app and its uses.4.What is an Android

Purpose: The purpose of my speech is to demonstrate how to make delicious homemade pancakes.

A variety of communication media can be considered when planning to produce a presentation, for example verbal communication and written communication, each type of communication media has its advantages and limitations. When developing my presentation I decided to use both verbal and written communication, although both communication methods were used I had to ensure that they were used in the correct quantities. To keep my presentation engaging I tried to use as much visual representation as possible limiting the amount of text per slide. I chose to use PowerPoint because of its combination of written and verbal communication (not to mention the cost effectiveness of choosing PowerPoint and simplistic interface); the written aspects included the text on the slides, screenshots and images. The screenshots proved particularly useful as they was of the actual database used in the daily running of the Apprenticeships Store, once paired with the demonstration of inputting data into the database it ensured greater understanding due to more practical learning as opposed to theoretical learning. More detail was provided in my handouts ensuring I didn’t give too much information at once and this allowed the audience to document any supplementary information I said during the presentation, by speaking and interpreting what was on the slides ensured the presentation remained fluid and

Sometimes, even with transitional clauses, it is hard to determine when a main point ends and another main point starts. I could also have varied my pitch and pace of my speech to emphasize transitions and the most important details. This could have been accomplished by Furthermore, I wrote out quotes on my notecards so I did not have to turn my back to the audience to look at the board and used blank slides for points I did not have a slide for. Turning off the projector could have been more effective, because then I would be able to stand in the center of the room without the projector shining into my eyes. It is easier to move around the room when there is no projector or need to advance to the next slide. Lastly, techniques such as similes and personification would have possibly made my speech more interesting instead of stating a long list of

The date is June 6th, 1984, and American President Ronald Reagan stands solemnly before a massive stone monument on what he calls "a lonely, windswept point on the northern shore of France." On this historic day, the President of the United States stands solemnly before a small crowd of some of the bravest men living. The men assembled before him know these cliffs well. These are the Rangers who scaled the cliffs 40 years ago to do more than win the cliffs on the shores of Normandy. These are the Rangers who began the retaking of the entirety of Europe from Axis Control. That was 40 years ago, now only 90 of the original 225 sit before him now. All that can be heard are the crash of the waves on beach below and the occasional cry of a seagull

“The Sound of a Voice” by David Henry Hwang is a one act play telling the story of two characters, Man and Woman. These characters both live alone and isolated. Woman is rumored to be a witch, and Man is a soldier without a purpose who comes in hope of killing Woman. They both have a fear of silence and love. These unusual fears result in their fatal downfall. This play explores deep emotions, such as the fear of silence that Man and Woman share which pushes Woman to commit suicide. A fear of intimacy, felt exceptionally strong by Man, results in unfortunate timing leading to Woman’s death. Loneliness displayed by both characters is the underlying cause of the outcome. These feelings play together to contribute to Man and Woman’s tragic love.

I gave verbal instruction in the form of reading the detail on the PowerPoint slides and further emphasising the main points by verbally expanding further when required. I used the investigator pack visual aid to reinforce the spoken word and in conjunction with the PowerPoint slides listed the contents within it. Each item was shown to the learners in turn with discussion taken place about the use of each item. I assessed that this would be the most appropriate method of introducing these items as giving the items to the learners within the classroom environment may have led to a loss of control within the classroom and would have allowed the learners to see the items during the planned assessment later in the session.

My visual aid was the strongest part about my speech. I brought in the ingredients to make Tiramisu to show which brands I like to use for the recipe. I also prepared Tiramisu for the class as my hold interest technique. To relate the topic to the audience, I told them that they could make this recipe when they want to impress someone. My credibility was also convincing as I informed the class I had researched and compiled the best recipe. My introduction in general was concise and convinced the audience pay attention to the rest of my speech. I also thought my tone was conversational and not too formal.

Many individuals learn using a combination of styles. After considering all aspects of my patient I created my teaching plan to benefit visual, auditory, and tactile learners. My plan included an informative brochure that I created at a reading level suitable for my patient and visual aids consisting of tables such as “My Plate,” nutrition labels, and certain foods to avoid. The visual aids were necessary for my patient’s literacy level

Last Tuesday, November 3rd, I attended to the Public Ofrendas Exhibit's public speech as my Day of the Dead event, and I have learned and enjoyed many things about it. First, I thought that the way the public speaker explained everything about Mexico and how it is like living there during your whole life greatly. I thought it was important that she did that because, if I did'nt know about any of that stuff, I would have been confused the whole speech. Also, she pointed out that her and other people are doing this support group, who are helping the poor women in Chiapas, Mexico. The group challenges racism, sexism, and poverty, and it supported by independent women. They are all also trying to end child labor, which is a very important fact

She will discuss the various flavors of curry dishes and how to make it at home.

What were the strengths and weaknesses of the introduction? How did you gain the audience’s attention?

For example, I believe that my power point had relevant pictures that added to my speech’s visuals. Another area of my speech I believe that I did good was my voice. In the panopto recording I noticed I spoke very clearly, loudly, and in an easily understandable manner. This may be because I was in full manuscript mode and did not need to think about what I needed to say, regardless I spoke loud and clear for the audience. For example, when reading my main points, “What is Big Game Guiding”, “The Internet and Big Game Guiding”, and “Big Game Guiding today”, I spoke loud and

One strength that I presented throughout the presentation was engagement with the clients. I asked the clients how they would adapt the activity, bingo, for certain conditions such as low vision, hearing loss, and decrease fine motor control. Several of the clients came up with very good ideas for adaptations for the given disabilities. I compared their ideas with my own personal adaptions for this activity. This help to increase their awareness on even more adaptions for the given deficits. This engagement allowed me to be able to build a therapeutic relationship with my clients. With personal strengths I presented throughout the presentation, I also had some weaknesses presented as well. One personal weakness I felt that I presented throughout the presentation, was a decreased in confidence when presenting in front of the class. I found myself getting way too nervous when presenting on the material. I believe that one way to overcome my nerves when presenting information is to practice before hand. I can utilize this strategy of pre-planning, as I develop as an Occupational Therapist, because I will need to have confidence when administering assessments to clients. Pre-planning will allow me to have an increase in confidence and a decrease in nerves. With a greater confidence

Our presentation slides focuses more on pictures, charts and key-points for visual aid. By keeping the slides simple, audiences can focus more on the speaker. The videos uploaded by the Centre for English Language Communication department tell us our weaknesses which we do not realize by ourselves. Reflecting on my first and second presentation through videos and feedbacks from Ms. Christine has helped me
