First Time Around

 

In the first four weeks of this semester I have learn some old and new facts of making and creating a speech. When making a speech I learned that one can not be egocentric or stereotypical to anyone. Also I learned that when preparing for a speech that one cant be typical nor boring, your specch is suppose to be unique, creative, and suppose to be intreging the audience. I have also learned that preparing for a speech is the same as writing a paper for any class. When writing a paper you need to do your research, create an outline, and then perfect it by making it ur own, and those are the tools needed to create a speech. Another thing I learned was the different types of palagarism such as global and patchwork. I was under then impression that there was only one type of palagarism but really theres three. One thing that I like that we learn was the attention grabber to being any speech. I liked it because I love giving a story to people and getting their minds thinking about what im saying and talking about so when we were told we had to include that in our speech I was happy. I also believed it was good that we all had to do outlines for our speech cause it just helps us that much more because it is basically our powerpoint, all we have to do is put the information on the slides. So I thought that was another good thing I have learned to do before every speech or presentation. Overall, these last four weeks I have learned old and new things that can help me better with doing speechs and I believe that I will continue to learn being in this class.
