Beh 225 Week 9 Powerpoint

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.

Finally, one of the main aspects that could have used improvement would be the introduction. The attention getter was not as effective as I had hoped it would be. It didn’t seem to grab anybody’s attention so the speech was already off to a not so great start. While the main topics were introduced it could have been done more effectively instead of just listing of the three main topics. Also the thesis statement could have been more thought out with more information about my

P: Ty’Kevinyon will interact with others without high anxiety or fear levels. He will also learn to respond to social contacts in unfamiliar settings.

This course, BEH225, has spent the past nine weeks introducing us to different human behaviors and specific types of mental disorders. When exploring theories and concepts associated with the psychology of the human mind, you quickly discover that genetics does play as big a role as does upbringing. I specifically enjoyed the section that explored different types of motivation an employee may or may not display. Another area that I found to be enlightening delved into the various psychological disorders that we may encounter during our life. I am going to apply what we have studied throughout this course to my interview with Dorothy. Certain aspects, methods, and

PowerPoint, posters, and other methods can help create a positive buzz throughout the work place. Even PTA meetings can also be effective if you are prepared to discuss the effect this change might have on all the stakeholders. There should be a major focus on Training. The selection of key peer leaders for early training is important, so they can help sell the new technology internally. Unsuccessful implementations commonly happen when adequate training is not done. It is also important to be aware of all those who were left behind so they can be brought on stream.

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.

The speaker did a very good job with his speech. His speech I believe is more informative, because he is describing his recent experience with appendicitis. The area that I liked most about his speech was his introduction. He had a very good hooked that got a lot of people’s attention including my own. He scared me for a moment, because he made everybody believe that he was going to show everybody his appendix that he just had removed from his body. Instead he showed the appendix of a book. Also, as he presented his speech he expressed what happened to him with very personal information. This information helped him establish his credibility. He presented his speech very well and sounded very confident. However, there were a few brief pauses

The main points were clear, with the transitions feeling a bit lacking. She spent an equal amount of time on the body paragraphs but they were way too short, as the full speech fell a minute behind the minimum required presentation time. The was no slang, but there were some grammar and syntax issues, which are not completely the fault of the speaker, but are the fault of subject-verb agreement in native language. I would be lucky to do so well in a second language. She used effective imagery with her rhetorical questions, but could have done better imagery application with the soft information.

On Monday, I gave my special occasion speech. I would have to say that I was most nervous for this speech and really I don’t know why. The topic I believe was a little harder because you did not have as strict of an outline that you could speak on. We could really pick any topic that had to do with a special occasion. I know for me it took a lot of thinking to decide which one I wanted to do and the one I did choose still felt awkward. Having such broad speech choice also made it hard for many people in the class including me to make the time requirement. I would say that the time was my largest fault for this speech. Some of the other problems that I had during my speech was that I did not go into a great deal of detail on the husband and not going into much fun detail on anything else. I left most the speech pretty broad in the way that I only really told one story. If I were to do the speech again I would come up with much more to say about each person and why they are so perfect for each other.

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)

The speaker made direct eye contact at all times unless his head was moving to place emphasis on what he was saying. Further, the speaker spoke loud enough to be heard and did not require me to turn my volume up super high while struggling to hear him. Additionally, the speaker utilized a good pace. He moved slow enough for me to comprehend everything he was telling me but fast enough so that I did not get bored and distracted. Finally, the speaker alternated his pitch throughout the speech which kept my attention. Overall, besides the previously addressed issues, the delivery of the speech was great! I would, however, suggest having more time of the speech spent face to face with the speaker for a more powerful speech.

He kept his voice at a medium tone, making sure he was not loud. His language of English could be heard, even though his nationality was not fully American. He never stumbled over words or lost his trans of thought. He really seemed to now his work and didn’t really have a flaw when speaking about it the subject .As for his body language; it was fairly decent for the most part. He didn’t move around much during the presentation. At times his seemed very stiff standing at the podium. He gave small moderate hand gestures while speaking. When describing something within the subject he hands moved much more freely. His eyes contact with the audience was great. Even when turning to the next slide of the PowerPoint, he never took his eyes of the audience. While speaking he would turn his head, giving good contact with both sides of the audience in the room. His facial expression was solid. You could tell through his facial expression how important the subject was. Nevertheless, he could have been more entertaining. There was a point in where many people started to lose interest in the subject. He could have used jokes related to the subject or got the audience little more involved. It had got to the point where many people starting engaging more in the cellular devices later down the presentation. This has to change if he wants people to continue to listen to

My informative speech was strong in its organization, clarity, and the support and explanation of my ideas. The organization of my speech was great the whole way through. It started with my introduction, which included all the parts needed with an attention getter, it revealed the topic, established credibility, and previewed the body. The best part of my introduction I felt was my attention getter as it related to the audience and had shock value. Following my well-organized introduction, I started my body paragraph, which contained my three main points.

Katelyn and Jenni worked well together, they divided up the readings and each took charge of their own. We communicated through social media and worked together on a Google doc, so we can each see what the other was doing. The only thing that could have gone better was we could’ve rehearsed what we planned on saying throughout the presentation a bit more. Jenni enjoyed getting to share her family slide, because it showed how even within the same learning environment have two different ideals of what they view as a family.

The beginning of the speech was easy for me as it was the dream I had had so I just wrote that down. The middle of the speech was where I had the most difficulty, I wanted it to be funny but I also wanted to speak to the choices and experiences that I hope everyone has taken away from Seattle University. I really wanted to convey my own passions about treating every person equally and with curtesy. The end of my speech was also relatively easy to write as they are things that I have grappled with a time or two before and things that I feel every person will have to choose between at one point or another
