Speech Buddy: Review the following Interactive Videos" 9.1, 9.2, 13.1A, 13.1B, and "Use It" 13.1 on the Interactive Video website. Respond to the ideas in the videos. What did you learn that could be helpful for your next speech?
After watching all of the videos I want to begin write my inform speech. Every videos were very useful and interesting and I wrote down some things which I can use in my preparation.
In video 9.1. was said about introduction and how to make it interesting, what we have to put in the introduction. The most important what I took for myself about introduction that in the introduction we have to establish the purpose and thesis, preview main points and get attention of the audience using speech tools such as telling an interesting story, giving a surprising fact or statistics or humor.
In video 9.2. I recognized again how conclusion should be done and the main parts of the conclusion. In the conclusion we have to review the main points, reinforce the purpose and provide closure. Conclusion has to have a statement and a key idea to remind the whole purpose of the speech.
In videos of the chapter 13 my attention was taken immediately in the beginning of the speeches, because one speaker used camera and she took the picture of her audience in the beginning and it was very unusual. But at the same time her action can works against her because some of the people don't want to be in the picture and all her speech they can think about it. She didn't ask a permission to take a picture, so we have to be very careful when we want to use something for getting attention of the people because it can be also very distracted. I found that I was bored to hear all informative speech about camera it was kind of all in the same key and I barely fell asleep. In the speech about techno music the speaker skillfully used his power point slides which helped me to comprehend his information. He did a good eye contact and his speech was content. The topic about "what is kosher" made me more educated. Right now I know what is it and I really like that the speaker used the Bible as the credible source about that facts which she told us in her speech. She had a good introduction using the question do I know really what is it and a good conclusion that knowing what it means we can help people to figure it out. I liked her power point slides and the body of her speech.
Knowing all this details I will try to make a good informative speech. So it's time to start work on it.

I agree with you that the informative speech on the history of the Kodak camera was pretty boring (not to be mean, of course). It seemed like an endless flow of information, which just went in one ear and out the other. I think she just was on information overload. It was a difficult speech, but I could see that she tried to make her speech relevant to the lives of the audience by relating the cameras to how the average person either takes or is in a picture on a regular basis for purposes like Myspace etc. Also, I think another problem was the way that the video of the speech was put together. It didn't seem to be in the right order. Anyways, I think you have an interesting point about the "attention getter" in which the girl took a picture of her audience. I felt that it was an effective attention getter, but I didn't consider the fact that maybe not all f the audience members would appreciate having their picture taken. It is possible that she asked ahead of time, but it's not very likely.Anyways, good post and good luck on your speech!
ReplyDeleteI agree that the camera could be distracting, however not for all the same reasons. It seems like a bold move that will either get a huge positive reaction or a huge negative reaction. I would personally be more concerned with the effect of the flash on people. They might be sensitive to light and such.
ReplyDeleteOn another note, I am curious as to why you would want someone to use the Bible as a credible source? I understand that there are references to historic events, but would you not find that it would make the speech a target for those who are not as comfortable with the credibility of the bible. Not only in this particular instance, but others as well?
Hi Zii Evans, thank you for your comment. I trust Bible as a credible source in any question because I have studied Bible in the College a lot of christian literature about it and I believe that Bible is a word from God and if somebody feels uncomfortable with the credibility of the Bible, I want to ask question WHY? and the best way to get answer to begin read it and study it. Actually I don't know the other book with more solid credibility then Bible and it works in my life. It's only my opinion.
