My favorite speech would probably have to be our last one,
the persuasive speech. I picked a topic that I really cared about and had some
knowledge on. I think that allowed me to believe in what I was trying to
persuade my audience to do.
Therefore, enhancing my effectiveness. Furthermore, I really hope that my speech might actually
have persuaded at least some of the audience members to become more involved with
in our political system and vote.
Considering my grade, I think the time and effort I put into the speech
paid off. Furthermore, some of the feedback I received from the audience would
lead me to believe that my speech might have actually had an impact on some of
my classmates. Also, I think the
content of my speech is something that most people can understand and relate
too. Therefore, making it a bit
easier for me to connect with the audience and keep them engaged though out.
I also enjoyed our last speech, with the exception of the short time requirement. I thought your speech was very well spoken. Your passion about the topic came through to the audience, which helps when your trying to be persuasive. Sharing your education and experience related to the topic helped to establish your creditability with the audience. I am actually not a registered voter, but did find your speech compelling. I liked your use of images of previous movements that have been achieved through voting. These examples, accompanied by your passion for our political system, delivered by a credible speaker made for a terrific persuasive speech. Great job!
ReplyDeleteI think that the knowledge and passion that you had for your topic really showed through in your speech. It helps to be passionate about your topic. I can always see who loves what they're speaking about and people that just picked anything. My favorite speech was the tribute speech. It was awesome to see how emotional people were when speaking about their loved ones. That to me was passion about your topic. I'm also fearful of speaking in public so I liked that this was a fairly easy speech and short and sweet! I'm glad all the speaking is over with though. Everyone did a great job!
ReplyDeleteThe persuasive was my favorite speech as well, and I completely agree with RAD1Rachel on the time thing. I felt like there was no possible way I could have given all my info in the required manner without going over. I ended up at 7 minutes which would have been perfect if the time requirement hadn't changed. But, I went over on a couple of my speeches so maybe I am just a blabber mouth :) None-the-less, I really enjoyed the class, and all the speeches for one reason or another and learned a lot from everyone. I feel like I am walking away with new knowledge and perspectives. I think all of us, whether we had had speaking experience or not, all made positive improvements through the class which will only make us better in the future.
