Reflection Of A Self-Evaluation On An Intertroductory Speech

You story flowed nicely from the beginning to the end. Your story had little or no grammatical or sentence fluency errors. I could tell you took a lot of time to perfect your story.

For the Informative speech 2, I believe his topic adapted well to his audience. Many college students enjoy pumpkin carving in the fall. He added a personal experience to try and relate to those who have carved before or to share a personal memory to connect to the audience. Moreover, if some of his audience have not experience pumpkin carving, the speaker did a good job of describing the multiple uses for a carved pumpkin to engage them more into pumpkin carving. His body organization did flow most of the time when he transitioned to the next steps into pumpkin carving.

While the achievements I’ve earned are valuable, what I have learned from this process is significant. I’ve learned how to act in a professional environment and how to be a quality competitor in not just Speech, but in all my activities. Furthermore, I have acquired the ability to digest and comprehend criticism. As well as giving me the opportunity to be a leader on my team, Speech has also taught me to be a leader amongst my peers. To me, Speech is more than a place to excel in speaking, it is where I have gained knowledge and skills that will assist me in my future

To give a rhetorically convincing speech Lunsford and Ruszkiewicz suggested that “you want your organizational structure to be crystal clear. So offer an overview of your main points toward the beginning of your presentation” and “avoid long, complicated sentences and use straightforward syntax”(349). Both Melissa Fleming and Anand Giridharadas began their speeches with a story. Fleming’s story was about a young, refuge man, named Hany, who realized the importance of education and took his high school diploma when his life was in danger. This opening story engaged the audience and allowed Fleming to introduce her main point in the beginning of her presentation. Fleming also uses straightforward syntax when she is speaking. Those two reasons

This was a great presentation where almost if not all points on how to do a speech where hit. She started with an excellent introduction cashing the attention of all by stating about the troubles of the strawberries. Also, the whole speech was well developed and organized. The only think that I think this speech could have been better, was by placing a strong conclusion, other than that it is a great speech.

I did well was making sure to use my TC for each of my story transitions (background,body,and conclusion) my audience was able to tell that I started a new part of my story.I also used TC well for the narrator role when role shifting from my self to my mom. With my role shift I did a great jobs for keeping a consistent eye gaze from mother to child. I made to sure look down as the mother and look up as the child. With rhetorical questions I made sure to use them when describe things that I saw or explain things I realized during my story. For example when I explained where the color pencils were. I said COLOR PENCILS WHERE (RH ?) this help me to better explain what I was doing in the story. I also did a great job of using negation consistently to my audience when some thing was wrong or was not true. For example when I am explaining that I have no color pencils I am sure to match my head nod with he sign none. All in all, I enjoyed my execution of my child hood story.

3. I was able to write a narrative in my personal narrative essay. I was able to take my experience and put it on paper using effective technique to convey my experience clearly. I also

This paper will discuss mine self-evaluation and do into detail about my first speech. My first speech takes place in front of my class and I have to tell a story of an experience that has happened to me. Telling a speech was a new experience for me and I embrace the challenge. A speech can have an impact on a person life and the audience can also relate a topic that is being presented. I will explore and go into the details of ethos, pathos and logos of my speech for my personal assessment.

The speaker did very well in many aspects. At the begging of the speech, he clearly stated the topic, which was heart disease. In order to capture the audience’s attention, he asked them if any of their parents had been effected by heart disease. During his introduction, he clearly outlined his three subtopics. The subtopics made his speech organized and provided an objective. The speaker explained the topic to his specific audience very well by not using complicated medical terms. This was clearly and informative speech because many facts were stated and the sources were cited. Another way the speaker did well, was by not providing his opinion.

The audience(Players) were able to understand her points because she gave us examples that happened in the games. She also incorporated us by asking us to think of examples in the games we played that these 3 points could be worked on. Her speech involved a lot of group discussions, but she also took the stand on many points to explain how these 3 main points need to be worked on for the future games. The conclusion of the speech was very effective because she brought everything back together. She demonstrated how without communication we lack aggression and without aggression we lack confidence. As a team we felt it was very effective to sit down and discuss these points because we identified things we didn’t see as a whole. We felt that as a speaker she took the time to observe what we did not as players and showed us what we were lacking as a team. The speakers use of language was very important to the way she was communicating with us. She did not use a violent or angry tone with us and this helped very much. She would use a voice that grabbed our attention because she would get excited about a great play we made and lower her tone if she felt that there was a situation that could be worked on. An effective use of language is very critical in a speech because it could be the one way they grab their audience attention. Everything that coach Bartlett said was very understandable and encouraging

Hope this message finds you well. I wanted to share a bit on how the story sharing exercise in Writing and Rhetoric was a bit of a Catalytically moment for me and how it helped me better understand who I am as an individual and those around me.

Sarah began with a quote which made her speech become very relatable and personal, I liked this because it showed that she truly cared about the information she was about to share and really got my attention. She then used this information to introduce her topic and the points she planned to cover. Sarah used her transitions very effectively throughout her speech and never lost her place while speaking. Her conclusion adequately summed up the entirety of her speech and even included another quote about dealing with poverty stricken children in the classroom.

Giving the listener the information about what happened and why, yet it did not go into information about the outcomes and her feelings now. The story told was briefly but drawn to the point and gave insight to the rest of the StoryCorp. This did not give too much information about the event, but set up a situation for me to ask questions that dove deeper into the life changing event. Without the short time at the beginning of my story, many questions might not have seemed as important, and lead her to say why it was important.

Public speaking has always been very hard for me, I've never been the type to stand in front of an audience and speak or do a presentation. No matter how many times I've done presentations I've always get nervous or shy and always forget what I rehearsed. In the military I was training Nco, everytime we had a new marine check in to our unit or are shop. I would be the one to give them and the A presentation on what is expected of them and also give them information about the unit and our shop. In my opinion the Marine Corp prepared me for public speaking, especially if you where lower rank and your senior enlisted would throw you to the wolves and send you up there to give the

It is not completely clear, but it was straightforward and far easier than the alternative because my time was running out. In my opinion, I leave my audiences an impression since I ended it on the fly, I never really gave much thought on how I was going to end the speech that would connect to the audience in a way that they would remember and hear the words for a longer period of time after the day of the speech. My strengths were the introduction of my speech and the key points. The transition I need to improve on, while the conclusion I need to revise on since it seems too out of place. The delivery method does fit the mood toward the speech because the presentation is based on informative speech that making Topical delivery the top choice since it divides main points to sub points to more details. The presentation aid was utilized as effective as possible with the time given and my creativity at the time; however, if I were to remember my speech more thoroughly, I could have used the aid in a more presentable and artistic way. I would have to work on my vocal execution; however, I am sick, so changing my tone in the presentation was a challenge. On the other hand, most of my point were emphasized by my nonverbal
