Parts of speech

Overall Speech 101 was a great class for me, i was able to improve my ability to speak in front of a class and gain what it takes to be a great speaker. One thing that really helped me was looking back at my speech videos. At first i was really shy and thought that looking at myself speak would be embracing but it really helped me out. After every speech i would look back at my film and see the areas i can improve on. Yes indeed looking at my speech’s really helped me out especially on my final…

for your speech and realize that not everyone will be persuaded. There is usually a resistance on the listener’s behalf to what you are saying. Die-hard opponents of the…

an informative speech in order to inform the class about the vacation spot of St. Martin. After watching the video of myself giving my speech, I realized what I needed to improve on in my upcoming speeches. In this paper I am going to talk about my credibility, delivery, content of speech, and my goals. First, I am going to talk about my credibility. I think that I did a decent job on stating why I could talk about the vacation spot of St. Martin. I explained in 0:47 of my speech that I had…

small moments like in JFK’s “Inaugural Address” and Henry’s “Speech to the Virginia Convention.” In both of these authors speeches they use various beliefs to make their viewers join their side. While some differences between JFK and Patrick Henry are reasonable, the similarities in their beliefs are noticeable. In both of their famous speeches, Henry and JFK show the quality of freedom to push them to fight for…

Preserving Endangered Languages As An Art Form The article “Why Do Language Die?” by Noah Tesch reminds me a conversation that I had with a Cherokee when I visited a Cherokee Preservation festival several years ago. When I asked if they are speaking their native languages, he told me that the government requires their younger generations to learn whatever are in their culture, including learning the Cherokee language, because their language is near extinction. Languages are not only a way to…

made fun of. I had a cousin, who had a speech sound disorder because her family would speak to her in both English and Spanish. So, when she attempted to speak, the words that would come out her mouth would be gibberish. No one knew what she was saying or even trying to say. People and even her own family would make fun of her because of her speech disorder. They would call her an alien, weirdo, and other names because of the way she talked. She needed speech therapy and after a couple of years,…

until the names of objects, as well as the names of actions are implanted into his or her long term memory. The better the attention span of the infant is, the better his or her language development will be. Infants also need to be able to distinguish speech from environmental noise, as well as the various phonemes within a language. The child will learn phonotactic regularities, which are essentially the pairings of different vowels and consonants that are acceptable within a language.…

Informative Speech Self-Assessment The Informative speech I presented in the class was my first experience of speechmaking on a nonscientific subject. In this essay, I have self-assessed the following three aspects of the first speech I made: organization, speech outline and speech delivery. The speech I make was well-organized because It helped me effectively connect the main points, and supporting points I wished to shared with my audience. I believe my speech was well-structured because…

When it comes to speaking in front of people, I get nervous. Whether there are a few people in the room or a huge auditorium full of people. It has been an obstacle for me throughout my life. From show and tell in 3rd grade to big projects in high school, I always became flustered. I’ve always been scared of not being good enough, until one day I decided to make some changes. During my Junior year of high school, I joined the Texas Association of Future Educators (TAFE). I enrolled in TAFE…

In our presentation “Lysistrata” I took part of Myrrhine, what I was accomplishing in this scene was to be as precise as I could be. To also have a classy pitch to match the tones of my classmates, as I listened to myself I felt like I did an okay job for the level that I'm at in theatre I wasnt too quiet nor too loud. Something that I would do differently would be probably be to a better pronounciation of words and have a good fluency of the lines that I have to read. My character didn't have…
