My informative speech was overall well composed and delivered. Throughout my speech, I was able to use my hand gestures to convey the message that correlated to the words that I was speaking. At times, however, my I spoke too quickly, which caused me to over my words at times. Additionally, I struggled with the pronunciation of a few of the authors names. There were two incidences where my my transitions for one point to another lacked fluidity. Having written the outline and chosen the topic the day before, I had little time to review and go over the different things I would be covering in my speech. As a result, my delivery suffered. If I were to put in more effort into the the outlining, sources, and topic of my speech, the of my speech would come more naturally. Nevertheless, the passion that I had for my topic was visible in my …show more content…
In addition, I properly gave credit to the authors and institutions. However, one of my sources was from the bible. Although to Christians this is a credible source, for an informative, this source may not have been the best form of credibility. My positioning and movement throughout my informative speech could have used improvement. As I was presenting, I would often pace the small area behind the table as opposed to utilizing the space with careful consideration. This could have distracted the audience. In the future, I need to be careful about how I utilize my body throughout a speech. However, my hand gestures were well done and conductive for my delivery. Lastly, my informative speech went a little bit over the time requirement. The speech requirement was 6-8 minutes. I went over 8 minutes by 30 seconds. Because my topic was so broad, it was difficult to confine the material into a short eight minutes. However, if I had practiced the speech more, I would have had fewer stumbles which would have assisted me in giving my informative speech in the time
Lyndon Baines Johnson the 36th President of the United States gave his inaugural address in Washington D.C., on Wednesday, January 20, 1965, to one of the largest crowds in history, approximately 1.2 million Americans. In the shadow of the assassination of John F. Kennedy, LBJ took up the mantle of leadership, while the country was still in a period of mourning the tragic loss and earned the trust and respect of the country to be re-elected in 1965. A speech that lasted just under 22 minutes, reflected his passion and the forward thinking spirit of his desire to transform the country through justice, liberty and union, wage a war against poverty that was facing most of the American population and return the nation to their roots as a model
Each speech was written as we strived to choose the right words that would have exactly the right impact on the crowd. I became more anxious as I tried to prepare myself to give my last speech. I cleared my throat and I was suddenly the first one in line. I stepped up to the microphone and began flipping through a pile of loose papers searching for the speech I had written, analyzed, read, and re-read. Just as quickly, I came across a paper with my name written across the top. I took a deep breath and began to read it aloud. My nerves were a little more at ease as I read through the text I had written. I spoke naturally and fluently just as the day before when I practiced. I took time to look into the crowd. As I scanned the crowd I spotted my parents once again, and just like before they began to excitedly

There must be a way to get out. I feel so alone, and lost. It’s dark in here and I don’t know where to go.
The delivery of my speech portrays a sense of calmness and seriousness. I used this style of speaking to show the importance of my subject, lack of organ donors. Throughout the presentation I used note cards as a guide and frequently made eye contact with my audience. When giving facts that I felt were important I made sure to look at the camera to show there significance. I also added my input into some of the facts to try and convince my listeners to become organ donors
In terms of the outline, Gilbert’s speech closely follows the basic structure of an informative essay. It contains at least three main ideas, with each one supported with multiple sub-points and tons of evidence, and it transitions to each idea smoothly. A majority of the evidence consists of particular psychological experiments, as well as their detailed results, while the remaining supporting details include both real life and hypothetical examples of people synthesizing happiness or making other certain reactions. Gilbert provides detailed descriptions and explanations with his examples, but he does not go overboard with the amount of detail. He simply gives the right amount of information to prove his points and establish his credibility as a professional psychologist and researcher, thereby enhancing the effectiveness of the speech. The audience can easily follow along and understand his main ideas because he presents them in a simple and organized pattern. If the speech contained too much detail, then the audience would either feel lost during the

However, I did notice that there were a few faults in the presentation, one being a fault that I personally consider may have negatively impacted our presentation. It seems to me that I was not able to deliver the presentation to the best of my ability as I had let my nerves get the best of me when talking to the staff. The reason for this was that I was not comfortable with taking on the speaking role that I was given and that there were last minute changes made to my slides right before presenting. Bruner, (1996) stated that the learning process for staff relies on the “meaningful dialogue” that is presented by the presenters. In this case, I think that my speech was not strong enough to grab the audience’s attention, thus not being able to portray my message about what an Ofsted inspection is and what the results from an Ofsted inspection mean. Nevertheless, although I was not able to present to the quality that I had wished, the feedback received was reassuring that I had not done terribly bad. I was able to see myself grow as a presenter as I noticed that my
Deprenyl also known as selegiline is a mind boosting drug falling in the category of drugs called nootropics or smart drugs. As an effective smart pill, selegiline works to improve brain function, increase concentration, enhance mood and sharpen memory. Deprenyl was first designed and prescribed for the treatment of parkinson's disease symptoms. However, as deprenyl is known to stimulate the mind by increasing dopamine levels in the brain, it also brightens the mood and increases energy in the process and is thus widely used as an anti depressant medicine for the treatment of depression.
General Purpose:To inform about eating disorders Specific Purpose: To inform my audience about eating disorders and the different types.

While watching my video I did notice that I was able to understand and clearly know what the main point was. I spoke in a clear and a tone loud enough for everyone to hear. The speech was organized very well, so one idea or thought flowed to the next. I don’t think I need to change anything in regards to my central idea being clear. I was satisfied with that part of the speech.
Making a successful public presentation or speech to an audience was a very big task for me before I joined the public speaking class. I was always frightened and very nervous. Since then I now understand the process of making a speech or a presentation including coming up with a topic and from this topic develop the main points of the speech, research, organize my points, revise them, edit and make a magnificent presentation to any audience. People in the audience might sometimes agree or disagree with my opinion or points, it was therefore necessary to communicate my information clearly to the audience without making any judgments since every person was entitled to a different opinion and views about things.
Throughout the semester I became a more confident public speaker. The first assignment that we had to do for our education class was to introduce our self. I practiced what I was going to say and how I was going to say it that weekend. However, when I got up to present my mind went completely blank. Throughout the course of the semester I learned what I need to have up with me when I present do that I do not blank on what I wanted to say. In the beginning when I got up to present my heart was racing and my hands were shaking. Now I make sure I breathe and tell myself that I know what I am going to talk about. So I still don’t talking in public but I feel more comfortable doing it. I need to work on being more confident when I have to present a topic. Talking to Mrs. Nealy after my mini lesson I have more confidence when I am talking about a math concept than any other topic. Throughout the semester my writing skills have greatly improved. The thing I need to work on is managing my time better so that I have more time to edit my papers.
I had a lot of information on my mind, but the tension obstructed the flow of my words. Therefore I could not speak continuously, and accurately to the point. The fact that English is not my native language might have also been a reason for this. Therefore I was not satisfied with my performance.
