Favorite Speech
My favorite speech was actually the demonstration speech. I find that doing something with my hands and having to show how to do something helps keep me calm. When I have to just stand up there and talk I get a lot more nervous. So since I was able to demonstrate something it was the speech I was the least nervous for. Overall I do not like giving speeches at all, but if I had to pick a favorite that would be my favorite. I also liked that the context was lite it was not very complicated to write. I also got to bake so that was fun because I love baking. It was my favorite because it was simple, light hearted, active, and I got to do something I love to do. If I had to pick my favorite based off of context I would say the persuasive speech because I get to share something I truly believe in and I am passionate about. That is how I felt about all the speeches because we got to pick our topics so I picked things that I think everyone should know about and that I am passionate about, so in the form of simply context they were all good for me. I guess the demonstration speech was just the one I was the least nervous for.

I liked the demonstration speech too. But my favorite is tribute speech. I remember my demonstration speech, I was so disappointed because I spent too much time for telling different information but the most important part I screwed up. I didn't demonstrate in my speech what I wanted and it was bad. I would like to try do my demo speech again and probably I have to retake this course again))) I'm kidding. But any way it's extremely important to count your time and wisely divide the time for demonstration part and text part of the speech. I think I would place the demonstration speech on the second place after the tribute speech because in the demo speech you can show something and you don't need to talk about it all the time, sometimes it is better one time ti see something than 100 times to hear it.
ReplyDeleteI agree that being able to pick our own topic is so much more helpful than being assigned a topic. When the topic is something that you are genuinely interested in, it is easier to research the speech, write the speech, and perform the speech. Researching something that you do not find interesting sucks. I am a horrible procrastinator, so if I do not like the topic, I will put it off until the end, which just makes me nervous. If you are interested in the topic, it is easier to give the speech because you want to. After researching some of my speeches, I was not nervous to perform them because I thought the information was interesting, and I felt well-informed about the topic.
