Journal #7
To prepare for my informative speech, I first researched all of my sources. Then, I created my main points and wrote an outline that I would use as my guide for my speech. We were required to incorporate at least four sources and vocalize them out into the audience to give credit where credit was due. The structure of my outline consisted of my introduction, body, and conclusion. At the beginning of my speech, I used a quote that also entailed my thesis-the Wright's childhood, their first motorized plane, and their fame. Next, I used a PowerPoint as my visual aid that portrayed pictures of the history of the Wright Brothers and their first plane. When it came to practicing my speech, it sadly did not go the way I had planned. Unfortunately,

While presenting, my leg began shaking! It took me by surprise because this has never happened before. I spoke with no signs of nervousness, but my leg shook like I was. I do not know if it was noticeable to my peers, but it was something I could evidently tell while bestowing information upon my classmates. The informative speech has been different than my SHIELD speech because my the informative contains more historical facts rather than personal information. My topic was also over something I was not truly passionate about. I know I should have done something that came from my heart, but I felt like I overanalyzed multiple topics that I had in mind doing. So, I concluded that each would be better for a different kind of speech. The SHIELD speech was definitely something that placed closer to my heart, making it easier to share with my class. Something I will do differently next, is practice more. I mentioned that earlier in my other journal, but I am saying it again in this one. Practicing more is one of my goals for oral communications so, I will continue to pursue it until I reach it. Finally, a few types of situations where you would have to give a detailed informative speech would be in places such as work or
Begin with two slices of bread and put them on whatever you’re preparing them on. Getting the right consistency of peanut butter to jelly can be a little tricky but according to Ann Dolce on The Daily Meal website in her “the Perfect Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich recipe last updated March 29, 2013, the right proportions are 2 knife scoops of peanut butter and 1 knife scoop of jelly.
St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is a non-profit organization that has three pillars that they strive to achieve every day, as well as give everyone the opportunity to help out these sick children and their families.
Attention Getter: “I wish I was a little bit taller, I wish I was a Baller, I wish I had a girl who looked good I would call her.” That timeless phrase coined by Ski-Lo in the early nineties, resonates with so many of us because all of those goals are things that people relate to being successful. And while I can’t help you with the first and the last respectively, becoming a “Basket-baller” is quite feasible, with a little hard work.
General Purpose:To inform about eating disorders Specific Purpose: To inform my audience about eating disorders and the different types. Central Idea: Eating disorders are very common and they cause many people to go through hard things. They can affect anyone and once you develop an eating disorder you will have it for the rest of your life it doesn't just go away.
During my demonstration speech, I was affected by my speech anxiety. Some of the viewable symptoms were the shaking of my hands and also the stuttering of speech. I was able to control myself and relax after I started getting into my information. I did use some of the suggested relaxation techniques to relieve my anxiety. Before I got up to speak I thought confident of myself to help give me courage and confidence.
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
“Fasting is an effective and safe method of helping the body detoxify itself.” Quote by: James F. Balch, and Phyllis A. Balch. When you begin fasting, toxins are created in your body, mostly because of food and water. During your fast your body is provided resting time, most importantly, it gives your organs a rest which could potentially prolong your life. To prepare yourself for a fast you should try to eat mostly fruits, and vegetables. Intermittent fasting means fasting for certain hours of a day. While periodic fasting is when you fast for three days or longer for two or more weeks. The description of hunger is when your bodies respond to lack of food, then your body begins searching for food. If you get hungry during your fast it’s advised that you eat watermelon (if you absolutely need it), drink lemon juice or coffee. While giving organs rest and creating longevity, fasting is a controlled medical regimen.
Hi everyone, So I have been doing my research and have read your requests on what you would like me to provide for you regarding how we should go about starting our analytical timeline/powerpoint on Atlantis and its evolutionary history. I think it would be appropriate to first give a brief history lesson on the subject itself. The example I will give below should give some insight on how we can start this. This is essentially an outline I have come up with based on my personal research for us.
B. Thesis: Through our awareness of convention we can recognize significant or simply pleasing patterns of repetition, symmetry, contrast: we can discriminate between the verisimilar and the fabulous, pick up directional clues in a narrative work, see what is innovative and what is deliberately traditional at each nexus of the artistic creation.

Have you ever been in a situation when you are bored and you don’t know what to watch on T.V? For those kids that are bored all the time here’s Superman the strongest, fastest and handsome superhero. I’ve been watching Superman movies for over the past five years of my life, and I know everything about him. So the time that you are bored and you don’t have nothing to do or watch think about watching Superman.
There were many things I did well involving informative presentation. The first thing I did well was that I turned my outline in on time with the correct format. The second thing I did well was that I kept good posture, didn't have any vocal problems, and gave good gestures. The last thing I did well was that I paced myself and stayed within the time limit.
In order to successfully deliver an oral presentation such as a speech, the speaker must follow certain procedures to ensure his message can be conveyed clearly. Vast amounts of research are essential in order to acquire the knowledge necessary to be able to speak about a topic comfortably and answer any questions the audience might have during the course of the presentation. After acquiring such knowledge about the topic of the presentation the speaker will feel more confident, confidence is key in delivering speeches and other oral presentations because it makes the speaker look more credible and trustworthy. Lastly, the speaker must be fluid and eloquent with his words, the speaker must be able to sound clear and crisp while delivering their
It's always important to be able to convey your thoughts in an organized manner, and to be able to tell main things about yourself to others. I will work on having better transitions next time with my shield. I will also especially work on time management so that I don't have the fear of going over time. I also plan to practice with my visual aid on the tripod so that there are no surprises during my speech. Overall, I think that this shield speech was a very strong speech for me and I hope that the rest of my speeches this year will have a great visual aid and be strong speech like this shield speech
