How To Write A Shield Speech

I did a very good job of getting my three points across without confusing anyone. Another thing I thought I did very well was the visuals I brought in. They were very big and everyone in the classroom was able to see them clearly. As the next speech comes around one thing I need to work on is my eye contact. During my shield speech I only looked up a few times, but I never made eye contact individually with any people. Another thing I can improve is how long I practice for my speech. If I would run through my speech a few times throughout the week and the night before my speech would turn out much better. I also made very well written out index cards, but I did not use them as much of an aid. I think that if I practiced a little more than what I did my speech could have flowed better. During my speech one thing that was really unexpected for me was the time. I came into the speech thinking I would have plenty of time to get everything I wanted to say out, but when I started talking about my family I was already three minutes in. When it came to the actual speech I almost had a small nervous

Also, there were some difficulties that came about during my speech, one of those difficulties being inadequate direct eye contact. During the length of the speech there were not many time where I looked up and talked directly to my classmates. Something I could have done better to improve this would be to practice even more to ensure that I wouldn’t need to look at my notecards and slides as often. I also could have practiced when to look up and have a successful glance at my audience to have improved eye contact.

It started nine months when a young 16 year old girl found out that she was going to have a baby. She scared about people finding out and about what her parent are going to say about their new grandchild that is on the way and that will be her sooner then she thinks. *** She is now three weeks away from giving birth to the baby she has kept a secret form everyone even her parents. One day at school wearing the largest sweat shirt she asked if she can be excused, because she needs to pee for the million time. Once she gets to the girls restroom she know something is totally wrong and she start having contractions and the baby is coming now in the high school bathroom. A few moments later you here crying from a little baby girl. The 16 year old

The introduction & attention getter were complete but weren’t very engaging, which in my opinion was my speeches biggest flaw. My speech wasn’t one that as soon as you heard it you gave it your undivided because the importance of they topic in my opinion was very subjective. In my opinion the me employing a very loud, lively attention getter would’ve

In the informative speech, I didn’t many things that were admired and distracting during the speech, and I hope to improve on those distracting interrupting acts on my next speech. During the speech, I did some items that were a little distracting through the speech. As I watched my speech I noticed I had some awkward pauses, bad transitions, some um’s, and a little stuttering throughout the speech. If you look at the speech I tend to stutter which is a little distracting. Talking about the festival Diwali I talk about Rangoli and its colored pattern I stutter and forget what I am explaining. Another thing I could improve on is my transitions when hearing the speech, the transitions are a little rough and not as smooth. During the transition when I switch from talking about the celebrations to the language I say, “with all these celebrations it tends to bring many religions and languages together” doesn’t really make sense and could be spoken a little smoother. Stuttering is also a part of the speech I did during the speech which distracting. Throughout the speech, I stutter during different parts and one of those parts being when I am talking about the different traditions when eating Indian food. I say, “some of the traditions when people eat in India are well we all we eat on our hands,” which is a little annoying. During the speech, I also said um’s during the speech. When citing my source on languages I said some ums, repeating the citation from the notecard. During the speech I had a little tough time with stuttering at moments, saying some um’s, bad transitions, and some pauses in the future I tend to improve it for the next speech.

I am fairly nervous for my speech today because I didn’t get to prepare as well as I would have liked. I got called into work last night and had to work with a new person and they had no clue how to do anything, so not only did I have to train them, but I didn’t get to practice my speech as much as I would have liked. I almost guarantee I’m going to talk too fast and not make the time limit. I’m also a little apprehensive just because of the type of speech this is, and I have never actually done a toast before. I have spoken in front of many people before at a ceremony in my high school, because I was a board member in National Honor Society. I had to speak on behalf of my fellow members and honor the new inductees. I am really hoping, and

- What I did well during my speech was looking at my audience. I was always facing my audience and have a quick view to my PowerPoint. I believe I did well on these aspects because I wasn’t like the other students always looking at the PowerPoint and not even facing the audience. I know this is a public speaking class and the point is to talk to our audience while facing them.

3. Was the speech well-organized? Did it have a robust introduction, a solid body with specific main points, and a conclusion? How was the time allotment for each section (too long, too short?) Were the times dedicated to each section appropriate? (Introduction and Conclusion: between 45 seconds to1 minute; Body: main points each 1:15 – 1:30)

Overall, I achieved my speech calmly and confidently. I scored myself a 6 in this category because I did not rush the speech and I did not have a shaky speaking voice. I also scored myself a 6 for having no distracting behaviors. My feet were glued to the ground and a did not play with

Specific Purpose: To inform my audience about how jigsaw puzzles have developed since they were first created and specific details about their history which has helped them develop into what they are today. Also, to show how the history of something as simple as a jigsaw puzzle can change through time.

General Purpose: To share experience Specific Purpose: At the end of my speech, my audience will be able to know about my experience when my parents deployed together for the first time. Central idea: ?? I. Introduction. Imagine being eight years old and waking up one morning to your ten years old brother screaming in your ear to get ready for school.

I believe it flowed nicely and I successfully presented it in an extemporaneous fashion. I rehearsed numerous times and removed certain material to achieve an acceptable time. The last few times I rehearsed the time was just over six minutes while the real deal put me at seven minutes and forty-five seconds. The video revealed extra material that I ad-libbed. I knew what to say, I practiced it but still found myself adding material when it wasn’t necessary. One would think that would add an insignificant amount of time, but in combination with that, the glancing at my notes, and pauses, it did and put me over the time limit. I believe more practice will improve future

Ever heard of a device that can check on your teen and can provide protection from danger? No, well there is and it’s called “The SafeTrack Teen Tracking Device.” It’s also effectively affordable and easy to use. But what I didn’t mention was that it be kept a secret from them. However, it’s a invasion of privacy to you teen; didn’t think of that right? I believe that parents should not use the SafeTrack device because they aren’t letting them make mistakes, showing lack of confidence in teen, and will lose trust (parent and child bond) because they aren’t letting them do anything on their own.

Today I will be typing a response essay to a political speech. The political speech that I chose was when Former President Barack Obama gave his last speech to the United Nations which happened near the end of last year. Barack Obama stated in his speech that “Indeed, our International order has been so successful that we take it as a given that great powers no longer fight world wars; that the end of the Cold War lifted the shadow of nuclear Armageddon; that the battlefields of Europe have been replaced by Peaceful union; that China and India stay on a path of remarkable growth.” I chose this quote because it shows examples of great things that have happened around the world. A couple of things that should be pointed out is when Barack Obama was speaking in the YouTube video it showed faces of other world Leaders and representatives from other country’s it seemed like they had mixed emotions about the speech some showed a facial expression of acceptance some seemed in deep thought and others showed faces of concern. Also, the reasoning on why this speech was given is because he was trying to convince fellow world leaders to work together and to criticize those who seek a simple rejection of global integration. When the speech was over effect started to take place where some country’s

I think that the introduction to the speech went well. When I started the speech, I thought that my cat would come home from the veterinary clinic healthy. It was hard to do the speech after he passed away. I mess up in a few spots, because I was holding tears back. I believe that the organization of my speech was well. I did stumble with some of my words that messed me up on the speech. I did not tell where all my information came from in the speech, but one time. As all my information came from all three sources, I would have repeated myself throughout the speech.
