Overall I think that my Informative Speech about Pineapple went pretty well. The speech was in the given time requirements and it was not rushed. Overall I think the audience understood the speech and got a better understanding for pineapple in general. For preparation, I cut up a pineapple and got my visual aids together. Other than that, I review my notecards once or twice and that was about it. I planted my pineapple, which still hasn’t grown any, and tried to get the different stages of pineapple organized and ready. When I was up in front of the room I felt nervous at first, but once the speech got going I felt better and relaxed. I think that my research on pineapple was very good, and I think that my presentation went well. Something unexpected that occurred in the speech was that the day I was told to be ready to go, I did not have to go so I brought all of my visual aids and pineapple for nothing, and …show more content…
I had to bring everything back to school the next day, which was a pain. This made my pineapple not taste as good and become less fresh which was irritating. Plus, I did not like hauling stuff in 4 days in a row due to you not telling us the order every day. This speech differed greatly from the Shield Speech. The shield speech was about myself, and I think that talking about myself is easier than talking about an object. When you talk about yourself there is more variety in things to talk about because there are many aspects of my life. There is only so much I can talk about with a pineapple. You can't expand it or drag on. Next time I will practice more and try to make better communication on when I present and what time I should bring my stuff in. I will also have my group to work with which should be a trillion times better. It will provide more opportunities to find more information and increase our time. A time where I would maybe need to share a speech is
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
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.
One of the things I noticed in my speech was how many times I looked at the screen. I didn’t realize how many times I looked at my prop until I watched myself on video. It was distracting and took away from what I was saying to my audience. Additionally, I feel like I could have improved speaking about the different experiments performed. I feel like they were rushed and I should have stuck to talking about only one or two experiments instead. With my time being rushed, I feel like I couldn’t explain as much of the experiments as I wanted to or as in depth. Lastly, I should have worked on the conclusion for my speech. I wasn’t able to come up with a good conclusion, so it felt as if I left some of the speech left hanging. I mentioned ethical issues performed in the experiments without actually going over it in the speech. Next time, I know I will come up with a solid ending and just wrapping up ideas I already went over in class. I know that for my persuasive speech, I will work on my eye contact, slowing down, and coming up with a solid ending.
My informative speech was over the television series Grey's Anatomy. To prepare for my speech, I spent more time rehearsing than I did for my S.H.I.E.L.D. Speech. I am not sure how I feel about how my Informative Speech went. I felt very prepared for the speech, and I knew a lot about what I was talking about. I was confident in the information I had found. Although this is all true, when I was up in front of the audience, I was nervous. Really nervous. My hands were shaking the whole speech, and my voice felt shaky and unconfident. I do not get it, I do not know how I could feel as confident as I did before the speech and end up feeling like that while presenting.
Overall the process leading up to the speech was a great experience. Even though our group was close this speech was able to help us learn more about each other. This speech was able to help us understand each other and grow as a group. We learned how to work with each other and adjust work to fit everyone’s schedule. This was a great opportunity for us to show responsibility, teamwork, and leadership. We are satisfied with the grade we got on the speech because we put a lot of time into
However, I was very nervous giving the speech. This is a weakness that I noticed and that was mentioned by the peer evaluators. The most obvious sign of my nervousness was my repetitive use of the space-filler "mmmm"
1. What did you did well? Why do you think you did well on these aspects of your speech? Elaborate.
I am very proud of my performance of my widget speech. I prepared by writing my speech in advanced and practicing it for 20 minutes every night. The only thing I regret about the preparation of this speech was waiting till the last minute to make the poster. But I thought the delivery went well. I think the only thing that went badly wrong was me having a brain fart on the speech when I had had it memorized for two days. I think it was the intimidation of peers that made me nervous.
I did not expect this lack of effort from you,” he lectured. That was the breaking point of my composure. The tears that I had been holding back rushed down my face, and I was angry at myself for letting my presentation go to waste. How could I explain to my teacher that I truly had practiced? How could I tell him that I had repeated my soliloquy in the shower, presented it in front of my roommate so many times that she could recite it without thinking, practiced it in different voices in the mirror, and even read it in my head before falling asleep? I had done everything I could to prepare, but as soon as I stood in front of the class, my mind went
Well, the speech was really fun to prepare for it, even though the grade is not what I expected. It pretty awesome too when giving the speech because I can see the audiences inner desire. And their laugh and some smile, it shows it all. I got their attention when I first open up the slide because that was the moment when our generation mostly looking for. And that was love, but that not what they expected. I was laughing inside because of that. While giving the speech, I notice I made too many mistakes and know what my weakness, strength is. I can see my strength in organizing my speech with the step of Monroe’s Motivated Sequence because of that my speech went a lot smoother. In addition to that, I was able to get my points across the audience. The thesis of my topic was easily understood by the audience because my earlier slide about finding love caught their attention. That was brilliant, but I can see that my transition is not smooth on every slide. And that is my weakness I have to work on. It's still not as bad as my communication because I know that I’m quadruple-lingual. That make it really hard for me to speaking
My preparation for my speech was simple. First, I used the method of cognitive restructuring, which “transforms negative self-talk into positive self-talk (Schwartzman, 2014, pg. 37). I used positive self-talk and a positive self-concept of myself to help boost my confidence for giving my speech. I also used systematic desensitization to reduce communication apprehension, which describes the feeling of anxiety about oral communication with others, according to Schwartzman (2014), to harness my nervousness and anxiety about presenting the speech in front of an audience (pg. 35). In addition to this, I rehearsed my introductory speech several times to make sure I was ready to present in front of my class and used the concept of visualization
My speech on Letchworth State Park went well. There were some positives and negatives in making my speech as effective as possible. I felt pretty comfortable because I practiced my speech multiple times with friends. I made sure they videotaped me to see what mistakes I might make. Practicing my speech made feel more comfortable, and I believe made for a clearer message.
Today I gave my informative speech and I think it went pretty well. To prepare for my speech I did numerous things. The first thing I did was I started researching the history of Alton. After I had researched I decided on what I wanted my points to be over bases off what I found out. After that I began to write my speech. I changed things and re wrote things a few times because my first version didn't make a ton sense. When I was up in front of the audience I felt nervous. I wasn’t as prepared as I wanted to be. I wasn’t expecting to go today. There were six people in front of me and when four of them were gone or not ready to go I panicked a little bit. When I was done giving the speech I was glad it was done, but I wish I had done better.
What are two things that you did well and two things that you could have done better in the delivery of this speech?
Tevin’s portion of the speech was also a decent speech. Like my own portion, it had a good pace to it and also a good volume. There were some issues
