Post 3 Chapter 11

Reflect on a public speaking event you've attended recently, or one that you recall particularly well, in which the speaker used presentation media. How effective was the speaker's use of presentation media? How did the media add to the speech? Were there ways in which the presentation media detracted from the speech? How might the speaker have improved his or her use of presentation media?

I can remember a lot of interesting speeches because I remember the power point slides when speaker used for their speeches. It was unforgettable when one speaker had a persuasive speech about orphans who needs family and that speaker had a powerful and effective slides and I could fell his topic with all my body and soul and my decision was to do something, to make some decision. That speaker added his presentation media very skillful and his presentation wasn't detracted because I could hear his voice and the main idea was underlined by his presentation, it was kind of frame of his speech. It is a positive example of speech with media presentation. One of the negative example I remember in the school my classmate prepared a topic about heart pumping and her media presentation was very detracted and irritated because she broke all rules how to do the powerpoint presentation. She has chosen black background with the red letters on it with 18 size font and all her topic was written on one slide and nobody couldn't see it and she read her text about 15 minutes and everybody did nothing. 
It is a good example how to do something good and something bad when you can learn on somebody's mistakes. My way to make the slides is to compare all requirements with the book and I can see do I like it or I don't. I'm the best critique of myself but very often I ask a help of somebody because I need to have different opinion.

  1. It's nice to see you had such a memorable speech with media. The concept of Orphans seems like a topic that would be full of emotional issues. That alone would make it a presentation that would be hard to forget. Later, you wrote about a speech that included power point. You mentioned this person broke all the rules. I guess I better review the rules again. You have me worried about my attention to detail. Right now, or at least before I read your post, my power point is done. I think I will look it over and read that section again in the book. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone's presentation. I hope I learn enough to do a better job after this one. I've never done one before and my hopes are high but my expectations are low. Thanks for your post.

    F.D.

  2. It's great that you experienced a speech with a good presentation that actually affected you in a positive way. That's whats so great about media I think. It can show you something that you aren't able to put into words so that people can understand the capacity of it. And in your case actually had an effect on your feelings. That's terrific, I hope that if anyone has a touching subject like that, they are able to use the media correctly.
