9.1
This video discusses the introduction to a speech, and it’s
main components. They discussed the “attention getter”, which is often a
surprising fact or statistic, a story, or humor. They then gave examples of
effective “attention getters”. Then the speaker mentioned that the introduction
should also contain a thesis/purpose, and preview of main points. I didn’t
really learn anything new in this video per say, but it was helpful to see an
example of an effective “attention getter”.
9.2
This video discussed the main elements of the conclusion,
which are the review of main paints, reinforcing the purpose, and providing
closure. They then showed an example of an effective conclusion.
13.1 A
This video was an example of an informative speech on techno
music.
The speaker did a good job with the attention getter,
purpose, and preview of main points. His transitions were clear and made his
main points easy to follow. Also, he used visual aids, which helped the
audience to better understand the information he was supplying them. He did a
good job maintaining eye contact, and projecting, and his conclusion was also
effective. Overall, I feel that he did quite well and this video is a good
model for giving an informative speech.
13.1 A USE IT
In video 13.1A “USE IT” Katherine
is giving a speech on “Kosher”. Although I thought her “attention getter” was
kind-of strange, Katherine did a good job on her introduction. She established
her credibility well, and did a good job on her thesis/purpose, and on
previewing her main points. Although Katherine stuttered some in her speech,
she did well with using light and expressive hand gestures, and had plenty of expression
on her face. One thing I also noticed, however, was that it seemed that
Katherine looked at her note cards quite often. I feel that she could’ve
improved on this, but since she also did a satisfactory job with establishing
eye contact, I don’t feel that it was too big of a deal. I also think she
could’ve done a better job with making more clear transitions between main
points. With that being said, her visual aids were effective, and she had a
good conclusion.
13.1 B
Janine
did a good job giving history on the Kodak camera, establishing eye contact,
projecting, and using visual aids.
However, I feel that her speech was a bit difficult to follow
(organization-wise) because it seems like the video kind-of skips around. It
began with her introduction, but it seems like they cut it very short and
skipped right to the body of her speech. I didn’t hear a CLEAR thesis or a
preview of main points. Also, I
didn’t hear any transitions so it seemed kind-of like an endless string of
historical facts. Like I said, I think the video skipped around a bit instead
of letting the speech flow in its natural order, so that may account for the
way I perceived the speech.
I didn’t particularly LEARN much
from these videos, because they felt more like review, but they are good tools
and references to use when planning an informative speech.
