Criteria #1: ___Transitons_________________________________ Score: ____2____ Criteria #2: ___Support and explanation______________________ Score: ____3____ I think I need to work on the transitions next time. My transition from the introduction to the first main point is too long. Also, some of my transitions from one main point to the next main point can be improved next time. My goal to have a better transition is that I should not forget to do the review/preview, which is …show more content…
When I was presenting, I looked in my note cards and my powerpoint first before I looked at my audience and I noticed that I had less eye contact with my audience at this speech compared to my last speech. To improve next time, my goal is to practice with my note cards rather than just going through my powerpoint the weekend before the speech day rather than just practicing on the day I have to do my speech. I think I did better in the bodily action criteria compared to my last speech. I was not moving awkward anymore unlike my first speech and I think it is because I am less nervous. My goals to maintain success is to not overthink what I should do while I am delivering my speech and to focus more on what I will be saying and eye contact. 3. Select 1 criteria from the Visual Aid Category: describe, evaluate, and formulate a specific goal to improve for one of the following criteria: design of the visual aid, integration of the visual aid, delivery of the visual aid. Criteria #1: ____delivery of the visual aid__________________ Score:
Though I had some strong points in my informative speech, I still feel there was a lot I could improve upon. I could not recognize any vocalized pauses but I noticed that at certain points of speech where I would transition from one point to another, I would push my glasses up. I don’t remember if this was because my glasses were actually slipping down or because I was nervous. Also, after watching my video, I found that in the beginning of the speech I was swaying a lot, but because I was standing behind the table it wasn’t that noticeable. The one major thing I would change is my choice to stand behind the table. It was something I did unconsciously and out of habit of usually speaking behind a podium, and I did not notice I did it until
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.
most of your transitions were really good so nice job, but i would say add more than just 2 sentences like add some more background sentences
Identify three criteria you consider to be the most important in a quality system. Briefly discuss your rationale for selecting these criteria.
I believe it is important for any student who wants to do their best in a class to take a moment to evaluate their own work to determine the rate their writing is progressing and how they can continue to advance their writing. When I looked through my own work I asked myself “what have I learned this semester?” and “what do I still need to learn in order to improve my writing?”. Answering both these questions will help me with my last step of my self-evaluation, developing a plan to learn new skills.
...and values to be acquired by the learner (learning objectives), (2) how these objectives are to be accomplished (learning resources and strategies), (3) the target date for their accomplishment, (4) what evidence will be presented to demonstrate that the objectives have been accomplished, and (5) how this evidence will be judged or validated.
2. Determine where you stand vis-à-vis objectives Know where you presently stand in reaching the objectives; identify strengths that work in your favor and weaknesses that can hold you back.
Good Morning Dr. Holzner, just a heads up I was working on request for patient Lieb, Jeffrey whom you have seen on 12/28 as new process, but it looks like he started evaluation already with UCLA and had a visit on 1/4/15 with them. They already started evaluation process. So I will have to just keep him in evaluation phase with UCLA is that ok?
Some strengths that I use while giving a speech are the use of different pitches, the use of different volumes, the use of different facial expressions, and good posture. Some weaknesses that I have while giving a speech are the use of vocal fillers, the too fast of a rate at which I speak, the lack of eye contact, and the nervous movement from my body. I know that I have a lot to improve on when it comes time to get up and speak in front of others. However, I do feel that only after three speeches in my public speaking class, I have grown and become a better public speaker. Each speech that I have done, have gradually gotten better, but I do believe my dramatic reading speech was my
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.
The next step is to choose the criteria that we are going to take into consideration. In my opinion, the most important criteria are the following (their order does not indicate their importance):
I feel like I made really good eye contact in most of my speeches because I was always taught to look someone in the eye when I spoke to them. I also have really good memory so I could easily remember things about a topic or about a memory to share with the class and be able to tell the story or information correctly. My eye contact was a really big strength for me and I think it helped me in a lot of the speeches I did. The speech I think I made the most eye contact and was able to keep my thoughts together, was my impromptu speech when I talked about me and Arley’s relationship. I was able to give so much eye contact because I was not nervous and was able to speak about something I knew a lot about and the topic fit me fairly well. My other strength was memorization and that came in handy during my informative speech. I felt like my informative speech was one of the best speeches I gave due to the knowledge I had of the topic. I was able to remember important information and that made me more calm knowing I would be able to sail through the speech without going
Goals and objectives must be clearly communicated via written instructions or a rubric that outlines grading criteria.
Nealy and my parents helped me tremendously over the years to overcome my fear. I stayed after school to practice in front of Mrs. Nealy and a small group of my closest friends. My parents recorded my speeches so that I could watch my body language and practice over and over again. My sister, although 3 years younger than I was, provided me with many funny but ingenious comments that help me to learn. I practiced in the shower, in front of the mirror, and everywhere else I could before each presentations. It wasn’t easy; however, as the years went by, I felt more confident and comfortable speaking in front of groups. I have learned the valuable techniques from Maya Angelou that said, “I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel”. With each of my speeches over the years, I have tried to incorporate some funny or heart warming stories to keep my audience engaging and always remembered Mrs. Nealy’s advice that I didn’t need to memorize every word from my speech, but just to prepare an outline, be interesting, and try to have
Relaxing before a speech is very important, it calms the nerves and helps you prepare for the speech instead of being completely nervous and messing up during the speech. Having this be said, relaxing is a very important thing for me to do before I go up and do a presentation. If I were to not relax and calm myself before my speech, like doing breathing exercises, I would overthink everything and mess up my whole speech because of my nervousness. For the future, if there ever comes a time that I need to present for any certain reason, I will be sure to relax and keep calm before a presentation.
