My youth pastor delivered a very well put together presentation on time management. The purpose of the presentation was to motivate us to become more efficient. She told us how time is something that you can lose and never get back. The structure of the presentation was well organized with a clear beginning, middle, and end. This allowed the audience to grasp the message clearly. The speaker was credible for this topic since she had her of gaining time management skills. The speech was delivered on Wednesday afternoon March 22nd, at a youth group meeting. The purpose was to inspire and motivate us to become more efficient people. She had our best interest in mind which made her a credible speaker. Through her credibility and organization, …show more content…
The audience was a rather small group which had people of ages younger than twenty one. In the speech, the speaker emphasized that in order to manage your time effectively, you have to know what motivates you and work for that. Therefor, being motivated is a key factor in increasing your time management. She also stated how important it is to balance doing what you love with work. The speaker organized the presentation very well and made it easy to follow for the audience. She chose words that got the message across clearly and were not difficult to understand. Since this was targeted at a younger audience, she simplified the concepts and was very specific. The sentences of the speech were structured appropriately, and had no grammatical errors. She also included some transitions in between, especially when moving from one idea to the next which made the flow …show more content…
She used humor occasionally but it wasn't usually relevant to the actual speech. There was no use of visual aids which was fine because it did not really require any. Moving on, she discussed the things that have worked for her like making schedules and being persistent. In doing so, she related it back on how one could use her examples in order to become more efficient. She used many hand gestures which helped us concentrate on her message more effectively. However, she did not use any metaphors and symbolism to get her point across. Moreover, the speech was organized logically and easy to understand. She continued to explain how most people spend their time doing things that do not benefit them. For that reason, she emphasized that prioritizing is one of the major factors in becoming more
In 102 Minutes, Chapter 7, authors Dwyer and Flynn use ethos, logos, and pathos to appeal to the readers’ consciences, minds and hearts regarding what happened to the people inside the Twin Towers on 9/11. Of particular interest are the following uses of the three appeals.
She then immediately follows up with a way to fix it and demand respect. Shes trying to connect with the audience and shows that she has been in the same place, that she can relate. You can see that she has done her research, she uses plenty of statistics to give you a visual of what she is talking about as well as quoting people from organizations and giving them the appropriate credit. She mentions in 2005 at yale, her alma mater, 15 students sat in the admissions office until they were removed by police. These individuals were demanding changes to the financial aid policy.
To summarize this analysis, Hillary Clinton shows us how as we unite, the stronger our bond is. She uses clever ways to show this action. Though she did not win this presidential election, she is still loved by many. She helped herself because of the way she wrote and persuaded people to join her. Using rhetorical appeals
Her slow yet concise way of speaking, coupled with easy to follow transitions allowed for a speech that was enjoyable to listen to. Her use of examples from her personal life allowed her audience to get a picture of who she was if they did not know, and allowed her to better relate to them by provided examples of how she is related to the college they are graduating from. Her reference to many modern political problems allowed her to bring up her important role as an activist and facilitated further understanding from the audience. While some areas of her speech were weak, such as the longer than needed pauses and her lack of consistent eye contact, to a few points where she didn’t speak clearly enough, the overall picture that was her speech was fairly strong. Looking at this speech, I hope to incorporate some aspects that I failed to include in my previous speeches. Some of these include her use of hand gestures to emphasize and exaggerate certain phrases and topics, and her combined use of appeals. While my initial thoughts going in were “This is boring” and “This is too slow”, it evolved into me wanting to hear more, and overall my defeat in the beginning turned into a victory at the
The goal of Hillary’s speech is to persuade her audience that her ideas are valid, by using ethos, pathos, and logos. Hillary is the First Lady and Senator, she shows credibility as an influential activist for woman rights. “Over the past 25 years, I have worked persistently on issues relating to women, children, and families. Over the past two and a half years, I’ve had the opportunity to learn more about the challenges facing women in my country and around the world” (Clinton 2).
She read fluently and clearly. She paused when applauded and the tone of her voice added to the conviction of her speech. Although it may have been nerve wracking for her to share her story and persuade others to change their views and take action, she remained poised
Susan’s introduction brought humor to not just the audience but the introverts already nervous to be at her speech. Her introduction was strong and pulled you right into her speech. I was interested to hear why her suitcase was so important to her speech. She drew you in from her story and ad eth story so much more relevant to you and what it could mean to you.
The speech first started with Oprah Winfrey telling a story about her good daughter and how she did not want anyone to know that she knew who she was. Even though her god daughter was graduating that day I really did not see the relevance of spending about five minutes telling the story. Even though it is a special occasion for her it still was not really relevant to me. The language she use while given the speech in this section was okay. It just to me that was not a strong opening and she could have done a better job at organizing that opening.
By directly connecting the power of women to the success of entire nations, she forces men and women of all circumstances to recognize the importance of women to their lives. In the body of her speech, Clinton establishes her logos by presenting clear facts, and uses inductive reasoning to come to an understandable
They pack a lot information from a large group in to a very short period of time. There is so much work and preparation that goes in to a project that felt a little like a review, meaning I do not think we presented the class with anything new but applied nursing knowledge to Peters story. In our presentation I feel that there where a few key point that were made clearly: the palliative approach to heart failure and discharge planning after an acute exacerbation of heart failure. I loved the discharge video we made for our presentation. Thinking back on the video we made and class we had on heart failure when Tammy Mclean visited, and I think an effective way to engage our class would have been to live act our SBL or even create a video and pause it every now and then to engage the class ask questions and allow questions to be asked. Over all I feel we did the best we could, talking fast and not engaging our audience as much as we could so we could show our video. Based on the peer feed back forms the audience loved the video and were very supportive of our presentation
Everyone’s speech was well thought out and I thought was actually very relevant in today’s society which I really enjoyed. I thought everyone had relevant and insightful information on their advocacy issues and advocating it nicely. The information and stats that my fellow classmates presented was eye opening in certain situations. For example, the advocacy issue on a community garden. I was not aware of all the benefits that creating urban gardens could bring to not only the community but also schools.
Previously mentioned, the students were set and had it altogether, but I did not. I was the last one to share and I had to improvise because I did not know what to say. I stood in the middle of the room and stared at everyone then began to speak of how bewildered I was when I first walked in the first day and how much they have changed me as a person. Somehow, my speech was empowering because all I heard were sniffles and a “wow” coming from a student that I never expected was going to care. He came up to me at the end of the day and told me that he was so delighted that he inspired someone, and it’s true. He
Although we had different opinions it was nice to hear other viewpoints and have a discussion with people dedicated to the field of education. We then worked on our talking points for our presentation and divided the presentation into five parts which would give everyone in our group a chance to
I gained much respect for their level of presentation skills and all the work they poured into their presentation. When I left the classroom, I felt disappointed in myself with the work I put into my communication class. These seniors showed me how professional presentations are given. You can tell they put not only hours and days into this presentation, but weeks of continues work to make their speech flawless. For me, I feel like I should have put more work into my speeches like they did but to a certain extent.
