For my informative speech, I wanted to pick a topic that I was familiar with but also wanted to know more about. I came to the conclusion to do my speech over child development. I thought it would be interesting because I am taking a class over child development and my future career is going to be early childhood education and elementary education. (Q.1.) The specific purpose of my speech was to teach my audience what child development is and the three components of child development. I think I did well teaching my audience child development because I clearly stated the three components, I established credibility, and made it relatable to my audience. Everyone has been through child development, if you have not been then you would still be an infant. (Q.2.) In comparison to my demonstration speech, I believe the introduction to my informative speech was much stronger, because I told a story instead of asking a question. My story allowed for my audience to have a mental picture of what I was talking about. How I related child development to my audience was much more effective in my informative speech than my demonstration speech. In my demonstration speech, not everyone raised their hand when I asked my question. In my informative speech, I related it to my audience by saying everyone has went through child development. I felt more confident in my informative speech because I practiced many times in front of my family and friends. I got marked points off for being too read-y in my demonstration speech, so for my informative speech I worked on not memorizing the whole thing. By not memorizing my informative speech I felt more confident while presenting. (Q.3.) My oral citations helped my credibility of my informative speech. My oral citations supported my facts so my audience knew I was telling the truth. All of my citations were used to define child development and the three components. I wanted my audience to know all the proper definitions because they are not familiar with the topic of child development. I used four oral citations in my informative speech. Two were authors and the other two were websites. These oral citations provided my audience with all the correct information about
My introduction to speech was effective and caught the audience’s attention. Making sure I had an attention getter, creditability and a thesis statement kept the audience engaged. The main points that I decided to over in my speech were that Letchworth State Park offers yearlong activities, tons of hiking trails to explore, and camping for everyone. I believe that I got my
In Conclusion I feel I did a good job on my informative speech. My preparation needs work, but my content and my ability to tone down the facts helped to pull everything together. I can always use more practice, but I feel this speech went better than my
Informative speech is very common in people life. Informative speaking provides knowledge of a particular topic for audiences to gain their understanding of people, events, places or things. To have a prefect speech, speakers need to make plan to research information for their speech, organize ideas logically, practice and launch the speech. I will talk about a process of making my informative speech in my professional presentation class. My topic is that presentation about a charitable organization – the Sojourner Truth House. I follow step by step to prepare for my
For both of my two previous speeches I was able to add a little insight from myself and give my own thoughts and opinions. I was restricted from doing any of my own ideas for the informative speech. I had to show the audience that I was not being basis and I wanted them to believe what I believed. One of my biggest flaw in the informative speech was that I provided a little too much information to the audience and in doing that I exceeded my time range. The second flaw I had was during my speech, there was a lot of distraction in the audience and that threw me off. I was not able to focus on what I was presentation and that caused me to be a little forgetful and I started to stutter. I received an end grade of B- which to me was the worst thing imaginable. Rather than being angry of the fact that I didn’t do as well as I hoped, I took those comments and advice and better myself for the last
The informative speech that I presented on Friday, which was about how to make gingerbread cookies went better that I though. I succeed in some aspects of the speech in others not. I still have couple points that I need to improve for my next speech and I hope I do much better than I did. The aspects I effectively accomplished in my speech were; good organization, good preparation, appropriate tone of voice and good eye contacts. The weakness points that I need to improve or perfect are the anxiety that I had, the topic of my speech and my body language.
Good morning Heather and Poolboy. I am the conference coordinator for the 2015 Arkansas Child Abuse and Neglect Conference. Poolboy, I have heard you talk about being on the board of a local CAC, so I know that you understand how hard working with children and families that have been affected by abuse and neglect can be an the need for more education in this area. We try not to only give participants quality workshops to help them in their jobs but we also try to provide them with an environment where they can relax and renew their energies. Working with children and families affected by abuse and neglect is difficult and demanding work.
The human service population that I’m choosing is child abuse, because I believe that the future of the world is going to be on them. There are thousands of kids all over the whole world, who are being mistreated, abused, or even being sexually harassed by their parents or caregiver. There are a lot of forms of child maltreatment, such as physical abuse, neglecting the child, sexual abuse and emotionally abused. A child who was abused, should be given proper medical care, counseling should be provided to them, should be kept in a friendly environment where they can feel safe and most importantly education should be provided. And Childhelp is one of the major agencies that helps and raises more awareness to child abuse and helps rescue children
The demonstration speech was a speech where we were required to explain how something works or how to do something to our lab section class. For my demonstration speech I chose the topic of how to prepare for a hike. The purpose for choosing this topic was because test weeks were coming up and whenever I feel overly stressed I often take a hike to decompress as well as the fact I am planning on hiking a one thousand mile trail on the western border of the United States made me think I was capable to explain how to prepare for a hike. I started off the speech by describing my plan after I graduate on hiking the Pacific Crest Trail and how it related to my favorite novel, Wild written by Cheryl Strayed. For the demonstration speech we were required
I focused on explaining why yoga has become so popular in present society. My intent with this speech was to clear up misconceptions about yoga, explain why it has become more modern, and how people benefit especially students from yoga practice. My performance and writing in this speech improved and I was able to convey my key points in a way that connected to my audience. It was noted by both my professor and fellow classmates that I made my speech more personal which connected to my audience better. My delivery improved because I had better verbal skills with clear articulation and used an energetic tone. I still had issues with over-reliance on my speech aid and lacking body movement. I had okay eye contact which negatively affected my relationship with the audience. After this speech my goal was to spend more time developing my writing and have more body movement during my
I dressed for the speech and illustrated the public about my speech. The relation to my attire and speech should have been clear with no explanation. I supported my topic with a background story and with a quote. This helped emphasize my belief. I wish I had a bit of time to memorize my outline and speech completely. Reading from cards helped but was inappropriate to read directly from them. The way I prepared for my speech included the repetition of my speech while timing myself. I tried to practice my speech in front of a mirror in order to look at myself while
136. In this speech, a big thing that detracted from it was not quoting anything. I don’t understand why I didn’t quote any of my sources, but it is a very important thing to do and is bad when left out. It is hard to be credible if you’re not telling your audience where you got your information, because for all they know you got it off of Wikipedia. I realized this was a major mistake and will not let it happen again in my future speaking career. Not quoting my sources also made it unclear if I had to research most of my information or if I just knew most of it. I got a lot of my information from my own knowledge and from another person who experienced the situation. I think I appeared somewhat knowledgeable. I felt very confident during my speech. I also had
The first speech I will be presenting is a Descriptive/Narrative speech. My top two topics I considered for this speech are two different experiences that have impacted my life. The first experience that came to mind when I began considering my topics was when I was 15 years old and had to help my oldest sister raise her one year old because she had placenta accrete, a condition that was life threatening to her and her unborn child during her second pregnancy. The second experience that came to mind was when I was 16 and had dislocated my knee during a cheerleading tryout. I had to have an extensive knee surgery and was required to attend physical therapy for over a year. My thoughts about the first experience is that many students can relate to the topic due to many of my peers and me having to step up to the plate sometimes and help our families through difficult situations or hardships. The second experience is extremely relatable to my peers, not because the injury was an inconvenience in my life, but it severely impacted my life for the best and worst.
The speech came off sounding natural and not overly rehearsed. I believe you had an outline but very barely used it. Not depending
The first thing I noticed about my content was how the audience received it. The topic was Karl von Muller and his naval campaign during world war one. When surveyed, the class seemed to be of the consensus that they had no idea who he was. With this feedback, I moved forward on the speech believing a topic
The trapezius is a large, kite-shaped muscle located on the back, and has the job of all movement of shoulder blades and extension of the head at the neck. It deals with moving and rotating, and is aligned against the spine as well. When it gets pulled or injured, it can cause excruciating back pain, muscle spasms, inability to move the neck, and more. What it means, is that there is a muscle on your back connected to so many different parts of you, that when messed up causes so much pain. Senior year of high school I ruined this muscle, and it still haunts me today.
