Speaking Activity One: Evaluation

The child I will be observing is Miss S, and her age is 5 years old. I will be observing Miss S in the Language Development which pertains to the Oral Language. I found out from the mother Mrs. K that Miss S. has a stuttering problem when she gets excited. Miss S gets embarrassed most of the time she does it. Mrs. K her mother states that she has to stop Miss. S and tell her to slow down and take her time. Miss S when she takes her time she can talk without the stuttering but she uses 2 word sentences because she is afraid to talk and people make fun of her. The mom says the best place to observe Miss S is here at head start in the classroom, because she fills more comfortable around her teacher and her peers. Miss K the mom states that she

The speaking literacy objective allows students to convey one’s thinking in complete sentences, which we did during our discussions about Invisible Man. During these discussions we were required to think of questions to ask the class in order to make us think a little bit deeper than we normally would, which is exactly what happened. Each student had a new and thoughtful question for each discussion, which would often cause an introspective discussion about not just the book, but sometimes our society. Thinking about what we were going to ask, caused us to carefully pick our words so that it would be not only comprehensible, but provocative. While reading Invisible Man, one of the questions I asked my classmates was, “Do you think it's possible

ELL Stage III: Grades 3-5 Listening and SpeakingStandard 2: The student will express orally his or her own thinking and ideas.

Language is a major part of everyone’s life. Every country or even a community have their own language or a way of speaking, and these are the things that differentiate people from one another. Jamila Lyiscott speech, “3 Ways of Speaking English” and Suzanne Talhouk speech, “Don’t Kill Your Language” on TED talks, addresses different issues related with language and the way of speaking a particular language. Both of the speeches effectively use rhetorical elements or devices. Both of these people are well-known speakers, so they have some credibility even before they begin speaking. When they do start their speeches, both effectively employ emotional appeal, facts and logic to convey their intended message to the audience.

I am looking forward to changing my caffeine intake. I have been consuming a large amount of caffeinated drinks before my workouts which has become a problematic health behavior. I plan to eliminate the abundance of caffeine from my diet. To do this I will develop a behavioral intervention. I believe this project is going to help me challenge a difficult task that I have been procrastinating about. I am also eager to be able to construct a similar behavior change intervention for other individuals who may need my assistance.

“For reasons that are obscure to me, those qualities we cherish in our artists we condemn in our politicians.” These qualities that Zadie is talking about is the ability to have many colored voices. In her lecture, “Speaking in Tongues”, Zadie talks about her own experiences with speaking in many voices. For her, it was having a less educated voice growing up and changing, letting go, for a more sophisticated voice of lettered people. The quote from Zadie Smith holds a lot of truth. People will often try to argue, but it is true that artists are supported for also having many colored voices while politicians are looked down at for that very same thing. The human mind, subconsciously, will always see politicians as people that should have an unchanging and singular voice. Artists, on the other hand, are respected and loved for their many colored voices. One may wonder why it has to be this way? Politicians are held up to such a high standard, everything they say is written and recorded, so if they have one too many voices they will lose power and respect or even sound contradictory. Politicians have to maintain a singular, strong voice to the public even if they have hidden voices, while artists are encouraged to use many.

There is no question that after giving about four speeches, I have become a much better overall public speaker. In the beginning of the semester, I would tend to get nervous during some of my speeches and consequently the delivery of my speech would be greatly affected. If I had made a mistake, my level of nervousness would drastically increase and I wouldn’t know how to correct it. Although today I have improved on these aspects. Normally in order to control my nerves I try to think as positively as possible. This is critical because when I start to think even a little bit negatively then I severely hurt my chances of giving a good speech. Instead today, my main priority is to stay very confident and tell myself that I’m going to perform fine.

This paper will go over the three main goals I would like to achieve in my public speaking career. My first goal is to improve upon the structure of my speeches to ensure that the topics that I discuss are in an order that will make sense to the audience. My second main goal I have for improving my public speaking skills is to improve on my confidence before, during, and after my speech. Finally, my last goal is to raise my delivery skills when I am giving my speech to assure the audience that I am confident and that I am a credible person. Together, these goals will help improve my public speaking skills.

Throughout life we express ourselves through words. The way we present ourselves through speech says a lot about our character. The way one speaks to others can jeopardize the amount of respect and trust others have for them. From the way one pronounces a word to their posture can affect the way an audience interprets what is being said. Personally, I am not confident with my speaking skills at this point. I would like my audience to fully comprehend the concepts or facts that I would present to them. In order to do so I must improve my speaking skills I believe that a problem most people, including myself, have when giving speeches is facing an audience. Just looking out to an audience of a mere ten

Only a select few people take pleasure in giving presentations or public speaking. I am not one of those people. Public speaking has always been a problem for me. G.A.D. or general anxiety disorder, has been a substantial factor in my life and being graded or judged on how well you speak in front of people, doesn’t exactly help. Whether it is five people or over a thousand, when pressure is put on you-you have to react. For example, when your grade for the quarter depends on how well you give a presentation, or when you have a competition or a big game. Consequently, you could become exceedingly anxious, and begin to doubt yourself, and that can lead to horrible situations.
