On September 26, 2017 a guest speaker named, Terry Simmons, came to speak to my class and I. He is a well-established entrepreneur who helps others build their businesses. I enjoyed his presence, honesty, and the topic he chose to address. He was an amazing speaker and kept my full attention during his speaking. I have no negative feedback and only positive feedback for this speaker’s critique. When Mr. Simmons approached the class he very well dressed and profession, even though it was a class room setting. In a sense, he was serious with the class as if he was a strict parent, yet subtle as if he was a close friend. For me, I appreciated his approach because most speakers would be carless to inform the future generation in an effective

Rogue Simmons was born and raised in the city of Portland, Oregon. She is the only daughter of Stella Simmons. Whom works as a stripper in a local club. Although Rogue and her mother never really saw eye to eye. They would often argue just for the sake of arguing. She always loved her mother since she was all she had.Growing up Rogue was always a very guarded, creative, sharp tongued & private young girl. Rogue always knew she was different than other children her age. This became an obvious fact one night when she was 7 years old. After witnessing a strange man violently attack her mother. Rogue could not stand seeing her mother getting hurt and jumped onto the mans back. She was screaming "get off my mommy" gripping her little fingers into

Principal Walter Simmons suffered a leg injury while on a school skiing trip and will not return as principal for the rest of the school year.
Simmons, Charles James (1893-1875), politician and evangelical preacher, was born on 9 April 1893 at 30 Brighton Road, Mosley, Birmingham. His father, James Henry Simmons (1867-1941), was a master painter and his mother, Mary Jane (1872-1958), a schoolteacher. They were Primitive Methodists, temperance advocates, and Liberals. His maternal grandfather, Charles Henry Russell (1846-1918), a Liberal, Primitive Methodist lay preacher and friend of Joseph Arch (leader of the Agricultural Labourers’ Union and MP), shared the family home. Simmons described him as ‘the greatest influence during my formative years’, the well-spring of the religious and political activism that was to characterize his career (Simmons, 6). Educated at Board
He incorporated multiple everyday examples into his classes. He often referenced modern entertainment or “street smart” topics, and utilized them to engage students who were otherwise disinterested, but suddenly found themselves fully participating, writing and presenting arguments. In History 12 one of his assignments was to play a round of Call of Duty and reflect on how realistic the game was compared to genuine combat in World War Two. We constructed arguments as to whether videogames including violence are ethical or not, considering the sacrifices our men and women in uniform have made. In retrospect, this was ingenious, because the males in my class who knew lots about Call of Duty were fully engaged in intellectual behaviour: discussing, debating, and
In the first paragraph, I saw that President Eisenhower used integrity by bringing some troops to the school to enforce the school’s integrity. How that paragraph used dignity to was by making the school worthy and bring troops into the school for enforcing the school’s integration. There was another paragraph that was on the back of the paper and it used respect by, being patient while they wait for the speaker. How I will apply what I learned by, being quiet for the speaker like my teachers and listen to what they're saying which is important or during a slideshow. My second thing I applied which was suggesting something instead of saying in your head “ Nope, that is not going to work. “ I did that in the beginning of the year of school and my teachers told me to take risks and believe you're going to do it. The third thing I learned from this story was, I should demonstrate my suggesting instead of just telling him my suggestion and not showing my demonstration to see if it will work. The last thing I can apply in my life is always sitting patiently if the speaker went somewhere to grab something or getting ready the
A highly influencing person that visited to our school was Bobby Jones. He came to share his story with us on October 23. Bobby Jones grew up in Yankton, South Dakota, with his parents, his brother, and his sister. Bobby came to persuade our students about staying on track and not to go down the wrong paths in life. A powerful message was delivered that day. He had a very specific goal, which was to tell us his story and give us more of an insight to stay focused on life. Bobby Jones had great information for everyone and I will always remember this presentation. He had a unique way of getting the audience’s attention. Frequently, he would do clapping exercises with the audience, which was very fitting due to the audience members who attended. There were middle school students at this speech as well as high school students. In that aspect, I feel as if he did a great job adapting to his audience.
The statement about students reading on the superficial, surface level, and how they rarely reach that richer deeper meaning was very profound to me. The example of all the events that happen in the baseball game before each pitch was a great eye-opener to validate this point. Educators expect
When Richard Nixon was elected as president of the United States in 1968, he entered office with high hopes for his term. America was in the midst of a war in Vietnam, and Nixon believed that because of his extensive knowledge of worldwide affairs, he could be the president to bring about positive change and peace in this area. Although Nixon desired to obtain “peace with honor,” his approach to the war in Vietnam and the actions that he took ultimately led to a defeat for the United States and left many devastating legacies.
As a viewer, I felt very comfortable with Sir Robinson, as he spoke in such an elegant and mild-mannered tone, along with humorous jokes, and sensible logic. The mood of the talk was upbeat thanks to Robinson’s charisma, and was not weighted down by the rather dark subject including the possibility of school having a negative impact on our lives. Sir Robinson’s argument was strong, and was biased without appearing to be by using a playful dialogue. Robinson, an educator, certainly has a biased look, but he doesn’t let that falter him by providing reasonable stories and logic to the audience, emotionally compromising them and making them vulnerable to
Ebony, a university student, finds herself in two classes, each with their own unique atmosphere. Interpersonal Communication comes first and is taught by Professor Gardner, who has been teaching for 20 years. Organizational Communication is her second class, taught by Professor Morgan, who is younger than Professor Gardner. Each professor has a different style of teaching and opinion on how students learn most efficiently. Professor Gardner sets out his expectations, rules of conduct, and strict no-technology policy on the first day of class; he values structure and consistency for his students. Professor Morgan does not present rules for her class; she does not mind if students come in late or leave early, and appreciates the use of technology for the purpose of adapting the learning environment for each student. Professor Morgan values freedom and self-responsibility for her students. Ebony loves Interpersonal Communication, and notices that the students, when provided with structure, tend to thrive, communicate freely, and connect with other students right away. There is a lot of laughter involved, and most everyone knows each other’s names. In Organizational Communication, however, Ebony feels lost and out of touch with the path of the class. She finds that the spontaneity of Professor Morgan is more confusing than helpful; Ebony senses the disconnect between students, as most of them do not know each other’s names. Professor
Once again his overall posture and confident level was excellent. The speaker shows passion for the subject he is speaking on from the hand movements when he speaks on poverty and domestic abuse as being trivial (a means to an end). The speakers volume was just right he spoke high enough for the back of the room could here, and the speech was easy to understand. When given a speech a speaker should consider his audience in the wording of his speech, is he giving a speech to children for educational purposes or a group of college students, this is call no one left behind so the entire audience is on track.
In summary, this course has really educated my view of being a teacher as well as being able to interact with today’s diverse and fluctuating educational setting. Therefore, the discussions were very good ways in understanding how
I took a public speaking class at NAU; however, I merely enrolled in this course because it was a requirement and I failed to fully embrace the meaning of the concept. This capstone, on the other hand, has accomplished in convincing me of the true power in communication. Professor Stroh arranged for several guest speakers, each with their own unique communication style, to address our class. I admired the abilities of each speaker and acquiring their skillset is a primary goal I have for the future. For example, Paul Melcher spoke eloquently, his lecture was well-structured, and he did not rely on notes for support. Consequently, I will strive to incorporate his strengths as a speaker in my effort to establish a dialogue with
