...Fundamentals of Speech John Kastner, Instructor Speech #1 Demonstrative Speech Prepare a 4-6 minute Demonstrative Speech. Visual aids are recommended for this speech. Remember all of the different types of visual aids so that you might use more creativity. You can use charts or graphs that show the popularity of your topic, images that show various ways to make it, videos or cartoons that show it in use, etc. In addition to your props, power point slides that show lists of ingredients, charts, and other images are helpful. As with all of your speeches, you must turn in a typed outline at the time that you deliver your speech. Objectives: You will deliver a 4 - 6 minute speech that informs your audience about how to do something. The explanation should be clear and concise. You need to actually demonstrate what you are explaining as you explain it. If, for instance, you are going to tell us how to make a cake, then you really need to bring the ingredients, really mix them together, really grease the pan and really pour the batter into the pan. Obviously, you can't bring an oven and bake the cake, but do all the steps that you can in baking a cake and then bring in the final product to show us what it should look like when finished. We should be able to do whatever it is you are demonstrating to us following your speech. Part of your grade for this speech will be based on whether you have demonstrated so clearly that we could turn around and do it...

...Speech Preparation Reflection Alicia Ramos COM/110 April 25, 2016 Linda Price Speech Preparation Reflection The best way to prepare for a presentation, one must consider the best method, the type of presentation and the audience for a given topic. There are four different types of presentation methods they are; Impromptu, Extemporaneous Speaking, Using a Manuscript, and Memorization. Each of the four methods is appropriate in certain situations. Impromptu is a speech that frequently involves no preparation time and forces you to think on your feet. With no opportunity to prepare, you must rely on what you know. Extemporaneous is a speech that involves preparation and practice. This form of delivery has many advantages. Specifically, speakers can maintain a personal connection with their listeners and respond to their feedback. Manuscript is a speech where everything is written out. The speaker reads the manuscript word for word. Memorized is a speech that has been committed to memory. This method may be useful when you know you will be receiving an award or recognition so you make sure you thank the right people. An informative speech is one that informs the audience. This week our assignment was to do an informative presentation. I know when doing an informative presentation I must inform my audience strictly with facts. I decided to do the presentation about my company and services we provide because I wanted to inform my audience about social services we...

...Presenting A Speech Giving a good oral speech is a skill that is required in all walks of life. This is a skill that can be learned and can be improved over time. There are a few things a presenter must do before actually giving a speech. The first is pick a topic. This is important because the presenter must know what he or she is going to talk about. The next factor you need is to know your audience. The best presenters are audience-centered presenters. The last step in giving a good presentation is the method of presentation. This makes the biggest impact on an audience. There are four basic types of speeches; to inform, to instruct, to persuade, and to entertain. A presenter must decide what speech he or she will give and find a presentation method. The entertaining speech is to provide pleasure and enjoyment that makes the audience laugh or identify with an anecdote. The persuasive speech is used to convince people to change something. This could be the way they think, what they do, or to do something new. The informative speech is used to provide interesting and useful information to the audience. A demonstrative speech is similar to an informative speech with one main difference which is that it includes how to do what it is that is being taught. Each of these speeches are organized in similar ways. A presenter will organize them in the best way for it to flow and be simple to follow. Once the speech is organized, the next thing to decide is how to present the speech to an...

...Speeches Sweaty palms, perspiration running down your face, dry mouth; these are all the signs of someone who is nervous about giving a speech. When thinking about speaking sometimes it brings fear. It is important to remember that public speaking is a part of everyday life. You may not have a large audience, but you do have an audience and you must convey what you are trying to get across to them. Public speaking is another form of conversation. There is as rich history in public speaking. As early as ancient Greece speeches were required as part of the education. Plato said that Rhetoric is the art of winning the soul by discourse. Aristotle identified the basic elements of good speech and persuasion as ethos, logos, and pathos. The ethos (credibility, believability) of the speaker was important; the logos (logic) behind any conclusions drawn by the speaker during the course of the speech needed to be valid and clear; and the pathos (emotional appeals) were important in making human connections between the speaker and the listener. In the Bible there are many examples of this process. “And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain, and when he was set his disciples came unto him. And he opened his mouth and taught them saying, Blessed are the poor is spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are they that mourn for they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth.” (Thompson King James Version Bible, Psalm 139:1-10)This familiar...

...Mastering A Skill 1 Mastering the Skill of Public Speaking The intent of this essay is to outline the benefits of mastering the skill of public speaking. I believe public speaking is one of the singular most important skills a person can master. The art of public speaking has a myriad of benefits associated with it. It allows one to effectively communicate their points of view to others in a public forum as well as a private forum. Looking at our history will give demonstrative proof that mastering public speaking has a tremendous effect not only on the audience but the speaker as well. An example of such would be simply looking at the great leaders of our past. One example would be Martin Luther King. When reviewing, with close scrutiny, Martin Luther King giving public speeches, one realizes that how a speech is given clearly affects its effectiveness. He alone was responsible for affecting the ideals as well as changing the minds and values of millions of people to be congruent with his own. Even today, his speeches are studied in public speaking courses across America. From the inflection of his voice to the tonality of his voice, as well as the rate of which he spoke. Even the unnoticed pauses between points of interest are only a few studied attributes of his speeches. Another great example would be John F. Kennedy. He too was a great persuasive communicator. He is one who comes to mind to a large percent of people who are asked who they think of...

...Developing Guidelines to Design Gestures for Teaching Chinese as a Second Language From the Perspectives of Kinesics and Linguistics Yihan Zhou Seton Hall University Abstract According to kinesics and linguistic theories, this project investigates what parts are involved in making gestures and how gestures carry meanings. A wide range of body parts are involved in making a gesture. According to David Mcneill, the physical movements acquire meaning by iconics, metaphorics, deictics, and beats. The project also discovers an etymological way to connect gestures to Chinese vocabulary. Based on the findings, the project further develops some guidelines to design gestures for teaching Chinese. They are making easy movements, identifying teaching content, making gestures understandable to your students, and applying gestures into teaching. In the end, the project applies the guidelines in designing activities for teaching Chinese pronunciation, vocabulary, character, and culture. Keywords: guidelines, gestures, teaching Chinese, kinesics, linguistics 1. Introduction 2.1 Background Gestures are common body movements: teachers instruct with gestures, referees in soccer game use gestures, people greet each other with gestures. Then what are gestures? Generally speaking, gestures are body movements which accompany and even sometimes replace verbal language. Because of its intimacy with language, it has attracted the people’s attention since Greek and Roman era...

PREFACE Rationale We agreed to produce the instructor’s manual for the sixth edition of A First Look at Communication Theory because it’s a first-rate book and because we enjoy talking and writing about pedagogy. Yet when we recall the discussions we’ve had with colleagues about instructor’s manuals over the years, two unnerving comments stick with us: “I don’t find them much help”; and (even worse) “I never look at them.” And, if the truth be told, we were often the people making such points! With these statements in mind, we have done some serious soul-searching about the texts that so many teachers—ourselves...
