Recommended: Fear of public speaking speech

The assignment I choose is my passion speech. This assignment involved me thinking about what I was passionate about and make a speech on my passion. Mr. Wilcox expected me to have three to two minute speech with me having to remember some of my essay. This particular assignment is related to my 30 second speeches when I am presenting my tutorials in my group. Mr.Wilcox made us do a passion speech so we could practice talking in front of people. Throughout the assignment I wasn't expecting myself to earn an A because I am a shy person when it comes to presenting. The process for me completing the assignment was for me to think about what I am passionate about and then type it up. I wanted to receive an A on my speech so I tried to overcome

    The author’s main argument in “Rhetoric: Making Sense of Human Interaction and Meaning-Making” is that rhetoric does not need to be complicated if writers incorporate certain elements to their writing. Downs further analyzed the elements that contribute to rhetoric such as symbols and signals, motivation, emotion, ecology, reasoning and identification. The author emphasized that writers can learn how to deliver their writing effectively once they are more aware on how rhetoric works. Downs constantly assures that rhetoric is quite simple and does not need to provoke fuzziness. Even though the term rhetorical is applied to everything, the author of the article made it clear that the “rhetorical” thing is situated. The example provided by the author in this article, further guides our understanding on what rhetoric

  • What Do Our Hearts Treasure Rhetorical Analysis

    508 Words  | 2 Pages

    Describing a house, a tree, or even opening a package are all very good times to use imagery to convey an image that readers can visualize in their minds. “Built of cinder blocks and was painted shocking pink. The principal tree on the place was a tall power pole sprouting transformers; it stood a few feet from the canal and threw a pleasant shade across the drive.” This example of visual imagery helps to visualize the surroundings that the writing piece takes place. Describing a main item in the story or essay is another good use for visual imagery. “The pot was handsome, and the tree looked like a miniature version of the classic oasis scene in the desert. When the plant was delivered, a small chameleon arrived with it and soon made the living

    MacArthur gave a long good-by speech to the members of Congress. I personally had never heard of MacArthur until this assignment. Before analyzing the speech, I conducted research about the speaker to know a little bit about his background. Then, I observed the context of the speech and how the audience reacted to his statements. After doing these two things it was much easier to understand and form my opinion about the speech.

  • The Importance Of AP Language And Composition

    1182 Words  | 3 Pages

    Previous to this course, I had never been exposed to rhetoric, nor did I understand rhetoric and its influence the first time it was introduced to me. In addition to having limited exposure to rhetoric, this was my first real writing assignment for an AP course. The process I used to complete this essay is far different from the process I’ve developed throughout this school year. I allowed my anxiety to override my brain, resulting in me stressing myself throughout the whole writing process. Rather than accepting that I am good enough for an AP course, I doubted my writing skills and drove myself crazy by second-guessing every word and phrase I typed. I relentlessly researched rhetoric, vocabulary, and other writing knowledge, which would be beneficial for the future, but I let all of the writing skills I had not yet acquired prevent me from using the skills I did have to write a great essay. Now, I type everything I have to say about the essay topic and then review my work only fixing what needs to be fixed. At this point in time I had difficulty quoting text; I had to learn how to stop drop quoting and when to use brackets, commas, and ellipses. Looking back on this essay, I wish I had taken notes on the text, as it would have made analyzing structure far easier. I also wish I had asked for help when I felt unsure about rhetoric rather than trying to find answers

  • Teaching Rhetoric: An Analysis of Ethos, Pathos, and Logos

    1041 Words  | 3 Pages

    "most students are already rhetorically savvy but unaware of their critical processes..." Author Jane Fife puts the three rhetorical analysis pieces to work, ethos pathos and logos, in an attempt to teach rhetorical analysis in a classroom. Fife uses a collaboration of all three types of rhetorical analysis. While the author does make good use of the first two pieces of rhetorical analysis, Pathos, and Logos, Fife strays away from the use of Ethos in her article. Fife applies the rhetorical appeals of Pathos and Logos to teach rhetoric to her class and the reader. However, her use of examples in a classroom backed up with little evidence to prove her authority surrounding the subject causes her readers to doubt her claim that Facebook and

  • What I Learned in Communication Skills Class

    760 Words  | 2 Pages

    During the course of this semester; the variety of writing styles and essays assigned to me in my communication skills class encouraged the development of my writing skills, as well as provided me with more self-assurance in my abilities. My writing, research, and presentation abilities enhanced through practice, determination, and the understanding I gained during this course. With every single writing assignment, I learned new innovative approaches and skills, which enhanced my abilities to improve my thoughts logically, enabling me to write more clearly, and to organize my papers more effectively. At the beginning of this semester; despite the fact that I already knew the terminology MAP: message, audience, purpose; I never really understood the significance of MAP. For this reason, my writing lacked clarity, organization, and my writings appeared less focused on the topics. As a result my research papers and essays did not flow as smoothly from one passage to the next. Furthermore, I was unaccustomed with the precise procedures used when writing an essay. For instance, my previous classes before college, although requiring a reference page, did not require me to include proper citations in my writings. After evaluating the quality of my writing toward the end of the semester, I recognized vast improvements in several areas of my writing. By concentrating on the beginning stages of my writings, I could distinguish ahead of time my audience and my message. As a result, my essays are clear, and I remain on topic. In addition to that using transition phrases efficiently also helps my writing to flow smoothly. The proper use of transitions makes my writings easy to follow from one topic to the next. I also learned that pre-writing...

    While brainstorming the process essay, I realized my weaknesses and planned better how to strengthen them. I knew simple grammatical errors and transitions were two of the most important ones I needed to correct. So while thinking of my topics to include in my essay, I thought of how each of them connected. In what ways can I draw connections between the three of these topics? Through asking myself this question, I transitioned from the paragraph of agency background to volunteer work with a more satisfying flow (“The Civic Responsibility” 2). While it took me longer to draft this essay, it ended up being worth it in the long run. I felt more accomplished of this paper and when I received feedback that required me to change minimal things; I knew it was worth

  • An Essay On Differentiating Passion And Skill

    764 Words  | 2 Pages

    “Follow your dreams”, “Choose a career you are passionate about”. These are all things we have heard and been taught. What people do not always realize, is that passion and skill are two very different things. Webster's Dictionary defines passion as, “intense, driving, or overmastering feeling or conviction” while it defines skill as, “the ability to use one's knowledge effectively and readily in execution or performance”. It can easily be seen that you can be passionate about something, without having the skill to do it, just like you can have the skill to do something but not be passionate about it. This can be seen in the life of just about any individual. People have things they are passionate about and
