Speech 3 Draft

Radicalism

I've been trying to put a lot of thought into what I want to do for my 3rd speech, but the only thing I've really been interested about is:

You can only marry once in your lifetime.

My draft isn't as specific as I'd like but that's because I'm still trying to find something that strikes my interest more, but as of now here's what I would talk about if I continue to go with this subject.

Intro slide: what it means to marry

2nd slide: how many people divorce, the statistics from now and before and how common it is currently because they know they can divorce and marry again if they want.

3rd slide: How you should only love one person only for the rest of your life once you make that commitment/promise. If you chose to divorce you can't get married ever again.

4th slide: It would make people push through their problems more, instead of taking the easy way out when things get hard and divorcing so they can find a new wife/husband.

5th slide: It would mean more when getting married when they know that they can only do this once with one person. You have to be 100% positive

6th slide: There would be a higher rate of people whose families are still together.

Still looking for some more ideas.

Start. Stop. Continue Speech 2

      For my second speech, I chose to write it on the pump up speech genre. This speech was motivational as well inspirational. When I started this speech I was way less nervous than speech one. I was calm and not as afraid and intimidated as I used to be. I think it helped me knowing I had a prezi to remind me of my main points. My biggest problem when doing speech one was blanking out on what I was going to say so I started stuttering. I am overall proud on how I did, and understand I still need to work on a few things but think I'm improving as each speech goes on and getting more confident.

Start:

• As I mentioned above, I said how much more confident I was than the first speech, but I need to start getting so nervous before I go up to present. I fear of getting called on, and I hope I can improve that.
• I need to start being more enthusiastic of what I'm saying. I had a good tone but I think it could improve to get more peoples attention.
• I need to give more background knowledge before presenting so more people understand why I am presenting this and show that I really put in research and effort into this presentation.
• For this speech particularly, I needed to include more moves. I don't think I provided enough considering we were talking about moves and conventions for a solid two weeks of class.
• Also for this speech, I wish I wouldn't have walked away from the computer more like presenters do, but I forgot to since I had to click next to switch the slides, but that would have made my performance better.

Stop:

• I need to stop saying "um" when I can't think what I am about to say because it just sounds really bad.
• I need to stop reading off the screen and memorizing more so I can look more professional and aware of what I am talking about. 
• I had a lot of hand gestures which is sometimes good, but I think at one point there were too many going on and it looked weird. 

Continue:

• I want to continue meeting the time limit expectation. I reached 5 minutes and 20 seconds which is pretty good since it wasn't 30 seconds before or after 5.
• I want to continue keeping a good pace on how fast I am talking. I exceeded the expectations of that and was really happy about that.
• Keeping good body language and having some gestures.
• Being creative about my topic and talking about certain items within that topic.
• Not blanking out as much and getting more confident

Two moves other students had:

• Taka: had an inspirational and motivational speech, and used hand gestures as well as explained his genre well, and related his topic affected him when he used to play baseball.
• Daisy: did a campus guide, and she used gestures like walking back and using her hands just like a tour guide would. She memorized her work, and used an exciting voice tone to keep others attention.
