WOK Project Reflection

It taught me a lot on how to really listen to those commercials and ads on tv and better understand them. Before when I was listening to ads I really was just hearing a bunch of words but now that I know what I'm looking for they make so much more sense to me. Also I like the fact that i can pick out all the logical fallacies in the commercials now. When we first started the project i really didn't understand those but as i looked for them i realized how easy it is to see them. I also felt smarter when listening to them because of it haha. This project also made me more aware of other ways to look a subjects. I see it's important to listen to both sides of the story before deciding because everyone is really in it for themselves. It also really showed that if as a country we actually worked together we would do so much better then we

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

This project was quite expeditious due to the number of alternate subjects studied within the constraints of school. This made it quite difficult to complete because time limits were evident and tested. This could have had a substantial impact on the project itself, however, it did not because of skill and precision. Working individually could be beneficial in certain circumstances if one is smart, advantages might include independence and personal idea. Although, it was not easy coming up with good ideas and multi-tasking in different areas individually. In addition, working in a class group was helpful due to the amount of

One topic that i can deliver as a credible speech, could be about over fishing. To build my credibility i will make sure my apperance is nice and make sure i have my audience attention an trust. I'll also give the audience a brief description about what i will be going over with them. I'm very credible in my topic because i know a lot of information about over fishing. I have many resources i had looked into such as books, the internet, social media and having discussions with peoples about over fishing. Your appearance can affect your topic selcetion in so many ways because you can dress nice but it may throw your audience off by your topic cause the way you appeared to present your topic.

The topic I chose was the Wounded Warriors Project. I chose this project because back in the fall, I was at a charity softball tournament for the Wounded Warriors Project. At this event, anyone who hit a ball over the fence raised $25 towards the charity. I myself hit a ball over the fence and raised money for the event which made me wonder, what exactly is the Wounded Warriors Project? It is important to the veterans of war and I would like to learn more about it.

Presentations should reflect a careful analysis of audience interest and be relevant. Presentations should also reflect the theory we

The project I chose was project 3a.: Social Psychology on TV and the purpose of it was to evaluate a clip of a TV show and demonstrate how it illustrates social psychological concepts. I took an episode of a TV show named “The Big Bang Theory”, season 6 episode 4, and then evaluated a 4-minute clip in which the protagonist, Sheldon, is showing 2 social psychological concepts: prototypes and priming. I originally expected the outcome to be those concepts because I believed the actions in which Sheldon were participating in was in correlation to what the concepts are and because “The Big Bang Theory” is a show in which intellectual individuals interact with each other meaning for some interesting and awkward situations.

Completing the Identity Art Project made me think about the core elements of my life and what was really important to me. I felt somewhat similar to people in the class by sharing the same ethnicity, age, and hobbies as some. In a class of less than 35 it’s interesting to see the many people who are shares these common aspects as you. One reason why I feel different than my classmates are through their struggles. Many people in our class shared a touching story of the struggles they had to face and I can see how those struggles made them grow as individuals. It made me come to a conclusion where I believe I’m very sheltered compared to these people who had tough lives through suicide, divorces, or a missing parent. It made me realized even

When an individual is preparing a presentation it is important to understand the capacity of information a human can process in order to structure proper presentation. Giving a presentation seeking to impress the audience with all the knowledge you know will only lose their interest to listen. It is important to keep the cognitive load low in order to deliver a message the audience can process and retain. Understanding this theory will help me to design better short descriptive off season workout program for my athlete’s. Last year, I think I might have been too descriptive with the information I provided the athletes on the sheet I gave them for the summer. My thoughts on that reason was, if they read and understand the purpose of the workouts they will appreciate the skill sets more and apply it to their exercises. The results of that workout program was a failure. Many of them mention they did not have the proper equipment to apply the workout, but I know it was the overwhelm descriptions I wrote on the program that might have gave them that

First, please let me say “sorry” for the late response of the topic selection for my incoming informative speech. I have been considering a topic that is not only audience- engaging but also doable for information gathering.

Throughout our semester together, our Social Issues class has discussed many different aspects of race, class and gender. We have had many opportunities to discuss and share our opinions on different topics and problems we face today. During this course, my outlook on life and other people has changed significantly. The use of projects and papers has further enlightened me to understand the perspective of others. The readings that we have been given each week have proven themselves very beneficial and have assisted greatly in furthering my awareness towards different races, classes and genders.

Everybody has an identity, it makes them individual and unique, and it defines who you are as a person. This project about my identity showed me what makes me unique. I would have never known how much my friends mean to me or how my identities connect with each other. I have three identities that make me who I am, cultural, personal, and social. A specific quality that covers my cultural identity is being Czechoslovakian. Both sides of my family have at least a part of Czech in them. My great-grandparents are from Czech Republic and my grandpa was the first generation in America, he was born in Ohio. This is very important because I have always identified as Czech and it is a big part of me, as I am so interested in ancestry. For my personal identity, the biggest part is my personality, being loud and outgoing, has always been important to me. The reason being, it is how people view me. A lot of people know me as the loud person or the person who talks a lot. That is meaningful to me considering I like people to view me in a certain way The last identity, social, is one of the most important to me because it involves my friends, and through this project, I learned how vital they really are to my social identity. I realized that I have a good amount of friends in this project. It is nice to have people as a support system and to relate with. These qualities show that I value being loud and outgoing. It also says that I value my family and they are a big part of life. The last one, social, ties in with the first one because it shows I am outgoing and friendly.

Topic: Choose a topic that interests you and would probably interest your audience (the class). Consider what your audience already knows about this topic and what their attitude about this topic will be. Do not inform us of something we already know tons about. You may not choose something that could be done as a demonstration speech.

One thing I realized from doing this project was that I was motivated. For example, group work helped me to stay motivated and focused on the topic even when the topic sometimes confused me. This is because group work allowed me to interact and discuss the topic with group members instead of just reading articles. Moreover, it forced me to be responsible to others and, frequently then, to do more and better work on the project than I might have done when only responsible
