Conventions Of An Informative Speech

which I wasn’t expecting.  So on the side of beginning my BSN program this week and figuring all this out, I am finalizing a speech to give today in front of about a thousand people.  Here it goes for public speaking!

(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.

First, I will start with the aspects that I have exceled at during my informative speech. The first strength would be the use of my sources and how I included them and cited them in the presentation. Overall I found 6 great sources which helped be better

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 informative speech tends to be one of my personal favorites when it comes to publically performing the speech in front of a group of peers. This speech tends to be one of my particular favorites due to the fact that if you are going to be presenting it, you should be the one who knows the most about the topic and should be delivering it in a fashion in which your peers find interesting. Even if the topic itself isn’t a very popular topic you as a presenter should be able to make connections to the audience during this time which makes them very intrigued with your topic and maybe even considering further research in that area

When the space shuttle Challenger took off on January 28, 1986, an internal rocket ship part called an O-ring malfunctioned because it became too cold in the winter air. As a result, super-hot gases passed the O-ring and burned a hole in the side of the space shuttle's external tank. Once the outer container became compromised, the solid rocket boosters caused a massive explosion. All seven crew members died. Another tragedy occurred on April 16, 2007, at the campus of Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in Blacksburg, Virginia. Seung-Hui Cho a senior at Virginia Tech committed two separate gun attacks approximately two hours apart. Tragically, Cho shot students in an academic building and multiple residence halls before committing suicide. In the deadliest shooting rampage at the time in American history: 17 students wounded and another 32 people killed. Ronald Reagan, the president of the United States at the time of the Challenger tragedy, spoke to the United States via his “Space Shuttle Tragedy Address” on the same day that the space shuttle exploded; similarly, Nikki Giovanni concluded the memorial ceremony at Virginia Tech after a murder tragedy in her “We are Virginia Tech” address. Ronald Reagan and Nikki Giovanni deliver similar speeches. They are successful examples of how to promote healing after a devastating tragedy and should be used as models for future tragedy speeches; however, Ronald Reagan’s superior ability to talk beyond

I thought my informative speech went really well. Compared to my shield speech, it was a major improvement. I spent time going over what I’ve researched before. I made my visual aids, and organized everything that I wanted to say. I still felt very nervous in front of the class, but I felt more confident because I was very solid in what I was talking about.

With the semester approaching an end, our last speech was a tribute to one we felt as though made an impact in our society. Being the last speech, I wanted to end on a positive note and allow myself, as well as others to see the ways I have improved in public speaking. To make this speech successful, I incorporated the experience and knowledge I received from previous speeches. Though there is always room for improvement with the technical side of speaking, I believe the most important improvement you can make is how you present yourself.

I. (Gain attention and interest) Many of us have encountered 3D technology at one point in our lives such as the red and blue comics usually found at the back of magazines, or a have watched a 3D movie at IMAX. It is with no doubt that, we all find this technology to be a fascinating one.

The last main point, which covers my comparison of this speech and my last speech, will include my preparedness for the speech. Something that I took in pride in for this speech was how clear and concise the organization of the speech was. What helped this the most was having clear statements in the speech that gave the audience a clue about where I was in the speech. Such as when I I moved onto my first counterpoint to an argument, I stated “However, many people, including myself, still remain skeptical that the cost of Community college education is a barrier for those that truly have a desire to attend”. By using this kind of language I am able to communicate with the audience in a way that allows them to know where I am in the speech.

The Houston Community College organized a speech tournament for students to partake in an opportunity of demonstrating both their speech and communication skills. The student’s skills are applied while each individual presents their speeches on the most popular topics, such as legalizing marijuana and Obamacare. In front of a vast audience, filled with many faculty members, the audience is able to listen to the students’ input and conducted research they have completed while simultaneously exhibiting their communication skills successfully. The main purpose of hosting a speech tournament are for students to exemplify those acquired skills and to allow faculty to evaluate the presented content and review on further improvising.

We would let one person start and we would give advice and critique them once they were finished. Tyler Anderson has taken a speech class in high school, so he was able to give us tips for each of our roles. Afterwards, we moved into an open classroom to practice and try to get a real feel of the atmosphere of speaking in a classroom. Tyler Anderson began with a video to gain interest by the audience before introducing Catharsis. Logan and Tyler both discussed studies that proved that the release of anger in negative or aggressive ways were only a temporary fix and that it is a poor solution in the long run. I felt that we could have put more effort into the slides. We did not want to have too much wording in the slides to prevent the audience from just reading and not listening to what we had to see. So we kept minor points that might not have looked like much onto each of our slides. I also feel like more statistics and research studies could have been added to our presentation to strengthen our points to our audience. Overall, I think it was a success and it is relieving to finally speak in front of an audience for the first time out of the way. Now that I have experienced public speaking, I am more confident in my abilities. With enough preparation and practice, speeches do not seem as daunting as they normally may

The dreaded public speaking, understanding the needs of your audience is one of the first tasks as you develop your presentations (Cardon, 2013, p. 420). I always enjoy public speaking since it’s my time to show an audience I know my product. I always like using a video presentation in the back and finding something to show like a fun moment to help engage the audience. The use of props or something to share around the room helps keep the audience involved and focused on what you are talking about. A shocking statement or an eye opening headline can help get the crowd excited. I always like to finish out my presentations with a rhetorical question; it keeps the audience involved and thinking the way I want them to. I try not use index cards

If you write the specific purpose: to inform the audience about how public speaking classes improve writing, presentation, and networking skills. Your speech will probably have:
