Outline of self

less nervous habits such as running my hand through my hair or examining my hands. Overall I find when giving a presentation, I do not do all of the distracting and unflattering things I shouldn’t do and find I myself doing more of the professional things I should be doing. Though I still struggle, I have learned, observed, listened, and practiced and I am well on my way to becoming a proficient and exceptional communicator. I have always been a grammar and punctuation freak because I had train myself how to spot out typos due to my dyslexia. When I’m writing an outline or paper, I have no problem finding mistakes. I also read aloud the paper to myself to see if it makes sense or practice my speech at least once before I have to present. I always go over in head what I must do to make the presentation go well and I always make sure I have at least an outline to keep me on track. Then I go out there and try my best. My self evaluation is based on the feedback I get from others. I don’t know whether this good or bad but I try to be honest with myself and I’m satisfied if I did my best. As far as listening goes, I am pretty attentive. Even if sometimes the topic doesn’t relate to me and I am bored out of my mind, I try to give the speaker respect by listening to them and maybe giving them feedback. Sometimes I can be distracted by my friends in class but for the most part I try to put away distracting things and focus on the people who are communicating to me as an audience…

The informative speech I gave on Wednesday about “GM Foods” did not go better than I expected that I could have done because I felt time pressure to organize a verbal outline as closer to written outline. On the topic “GM Foods”, my rhetoric was mainly to inform audiences about negative impact of GM foods on human health. The most difficult part of this informative speech for me is the topic selection. Going through the struggle of finding the topic of large public/audiences interest which can…

analyzed the ideologies and political practices that Hitler used. He utilized de–individualization, scarcity and consistency theory to retain German loyalty and promote his rhetoric. My group was very unique and consisted of several strengths and weaknesses that added to the effectiveness of our presentation. Without our respective traits, the project would not have reached fruition. My Contributions Prior to Presentation Our presentation analyzed German persuasive strategies during WWII. I…

used the parallel form I believe that I had a lot of solid information and was able to oral cite my sources as well as trying to keep the audience interested. On the other hand, my delivery was not the best I could have done. I stood in the same place for most of the speech and looked at my outline a lot. In the future, I need to work on being more comfortable and moving around more when giving my speech. Also, I am going to try to not add as many words onto my outline. I feel that if I can be…

I’ll get to the reason why on Day 3. But I do like to make notes of what I hope to write. You don’t have to use complete sentences here, words will be suffice. For example, your outline may start out like this: Intro: Importance of content Stat Accountability As you can see, I have three points I wanted to make in the introduction of this blog. I used this outline when writing. If you are using information from someone else’s blog, make a note to attribute the writer and website here. You…

Compared to the personal speech assignment, I felt the informative speech, in general, is a more challenging assignment. Since it basically combines a research paper and a speech, it was very time-consuming to finish all the requirement, especially it was in the midterm period. But after all, I found a way to balance the time to finish this assignment and gave a effective speech to the class. And I found myself gradually gain experience and confidence in the speech class. Based on the previous…

At the start of the project, I created a Google Doc for the project outline and wrote the topic headers for it. In terms of outside research, I was the one who researched, found, and contacted Professor Susan Epstein from Hunter College to speak. This turned into a tedious process that resulted in about 20 emails being sent back and forth between her and I. Despite the difficulties I had in getting definitive answers from her, I was fortunately able to get her to come in to speak. Additionally,…

I really did not know how to set up a speech properly. It was great to learn how to use an outline to set up a speech and use it as a guide to state my points. Previously when I spoke I would try and memorize every single thing I wanted to say which ended up setting me up for failure. The first speech in this class I ended up trying to memorize exactly what I wanted to say after I had written it all out. I then ended up reading directly off my paper, which wasn’t what I wanted to accomplish.…

Hi Yvette, I like your writer’s tone! In your writing, I can definitely tell that you are a very opinionated person and you managed to analyze every evidences in the essay. Honestly, the topic of this essay “The Trouble With Self-Esteem” did catch my attention. However, I am just wondering how trouble can it be for self-esteem? Why Self-Esteem matters? Is it a mentality issue? It should be a personal well-being concern! To me, self-esteem is how much a person defines himself or herself and the…

theme that is pervasive in Latin American literature is the lack of individuality. A lack of individuality often causes stress and unease, resulting in some level of conflict. Latin American authors use person versus self, person versus person, and person versus society conflicts to develop their theme of lack of individuality. The most common type of conflict…
