The process for this speech was as follows, first was to decide what the speech topic would be. You gave me the idea of travel insurance during a conversation about the informative speech. Next was the research phase. I did find some articles using a database search of the HACC library and then used Google to check out some of the companies that provide insurance and what information was available. I then started on the preparation outline following the example of Monroe’s Motivated Sequence that you had provided us. I went to the tutoring lab to get advice and was given a few ideas to incorporate. Since the timing had been an issue for me, I again typed out the entire speech hoping that I would be able to adjust the time to fit into the requirements. …show more content…
The pathos was showing the harm or fear that can come by not having the insurance. The logos was expressing the ways that having the insurance protects health and wealth. Using Monroe’s feels like giving a sales pitch to a group of people.
I think that I was calm and not as nervous as I felt I would be before the class started and that I spoke in a natural tone. My self-perception is that I have that deer in a headlight look to myself when I’m in an uncomfortable position. These are things to remember for when I have to interview for a job, that what I may think and feel, isn’t always reality. Last semester I had two group presentations. I am sure that there will be more of them so this class has prepared me to feel more comfortable and be more prepared for when the time comes.
My biggest need is just the need to be better prepared and second to be more organized. Practice and opportunities to speak in front of a group will help to continue to develop speaking skills. During interviews, I dislike questions about how I feel or a time when I reacted a certain way. Just like in a speech situation I feel everything is moving too fast and I need to remember to slow down, take a breath and remember I’ll be fine. Like with many people, I can be my own worst
One of the most powerful strategies used in literature and media is rhetoric. There are three types of rhetoric: pathos (appeal to emotion), logos (appeal to logic), and ethos (writer’s credibility). Writers use rhetoric in their writing to persuade the reader to believe their opinion. In Edward W. Felten’s “The Tech Industry Needs to Step Up on Privacy Disclosures” and Gina Trapani’s “Online Consumers Should Make Their Needs Known”, both incorporate convincing uses of rhetoric in their articles; however, Trapani’s use of rhetoric exceeds Felten’s and will persuade the reader more certainly because she backs up her article with her personal credibility, strives to pull at the reader’s emotion, and assures the reader’s question through general
Pausch received at the end of his lecture, it would be fair to conclude that it had a great impact on his audience. This lecture portrays how the effective use of basic presentation techniques can create a spellbinding effect on an audience. Dr. Pausch’s lecture gave me a new perspective on life and my career goals. One of his quotes that stood out for me was: “Wait long enough and people will surprise you”. I completely agree with this based on the experiences that I have had as a student at Michigan Tech.
1. When have I learned? In what circumstances? Under what conditions? I have learned during the last two weeks, from working on finishing up our power point presentation.
If someone asked me what pathos, logos, or ethos was I would think they were crazy making up words. Methods of development would have sounded like some process of evolving for animals. Going through Advanced Composition I now understand these once foreign concepts and can incorporate them into my own writing to better the paper by fixing prior mistakes and found a part of writing that I thoroughly
While Audi is a well-known luxury automobile manufacturer, ironically, it is also the Latin word for “listen”, as the company attempts to get the audience’s attention with its advertisements. Audi made the bold choice to present their message to support equal pay for women during the Super Bowl, just weeks after the Women’s March on Washington. The commercial featured a young girl participating in a go-cart race, competing against boys her age. Her father watches from the sidelines and asks the audience what he should tell his daughter about gender inequality in the world today. The advertisement encompasses various forms of rhetoric, and is able to communicate Audi’s messages affectively during a time when the subject of equal pay is exceedingly
Break the Cycle and the National Dating Abuse Helpline have collaborated together to produce an ad that not only appeals to younger people, but also brings awareness to dating abuse. The advertisement titled, “Dating Abuse Affects 1 in 3 Young People” is set up in a way that gets young people thinking about the frequency in which dating abuse happens (Ede 86). The purpose of this visual analysis paper will be to analyze the ad’s use of Aristotle’s three appeals. While pathos and logos dominate the ad, ethos just as importantly supports the ad’s persuasive purpose.
What do the human eyes and mind allow some to see when looking at images? What the eyes allow those to see is called how the mind interprets images. Everyone analyzes images differently than others. These three images show logos, pathos, and ethos, but they also show many stories and methods on how humans need to watch their health. The human body cannot function properly if those do not watch their healthy habits.
1. Please explain one or two of those experiences. Was it for class? For work?
I heard about Indianapolis growing up, but never really thought about it a lot. When my family decided to move we visited Indianapolis. That was when I understood what all of the buzz was about. WatchMojo Travel, the company that made the video, presents Indianapolis as a place to stop and visit instead of just pass through. In this paper, I will argue that WatchMojoTravel’s video portrays Indianapolis, Indiana as a fun and very family oriented place to travel using three rhetorical strategies- ethos, pathos, and mythos.
Magazines today use several different elements to gain readers attentions, they use things such as color, body language, pathos,ethos, and logos. Pathos deals with appealing to the reader's emotions, Logos means persuading by the use of reasoning, and ethos means convincing by the character of the author. The Rolling Stone cover manipulate pathos and ethos through the use of color, body language, and text to convince potential readers that Beyoncé is a “shy” and “hot” women. Also ethos is used to empower the “brown sugar” complexion by using Beyonce, who is known for empowering the beautiful skin tone of african american women. The different colors used in magazines are used to express many different messages such as: the overall theme or
I also wanted to feel confident in what I was saying so the audience believed the information I was giving. I accomplished these few goals by practicing over and over. I will be explaining what went well for my group with the content and delivery and also how the group worked together with the topic selection, preparation, research and presentation of our speech. In my group speech, there are many things we did well throughout this speech.
and Susan J. Beebe’s “A Concise Public Speaking Handbook,” some ways to assist you in overcoming nerves are know your audience, do not procrastinate, be prepared, be organized, and breathe. By knowing your audience, “you can anticipate their reactions to your speech” (10). If you were to procrastinate, “the lack of thorough preparation often results in a poorer speech performance, which reinforces a speaker’s perception that public speaking is difficult” (Beebe 10). When you are prepared you will be able to show “…that you have researched your topic, developed a logically coherent outline, and practiced your speech…” (Beebe 11).
Next the ignite speech went fanatic for me I picked a topic which is close to me and I know a lot about which is being an Resident Assistance and did a PowerPoint presentation that advanced every fifteen second with pictures and a small amount of text. The key thing I learned in the ignite speech was timing and practicing was everything. I practiced my speech about 6-10 times doing the full five minutes timed. While watching the other students ignite speeches it was prevent who practiced with the PowerPoint and who did not. Finally the Ted talk was a new experience due to it being so open ended.
Please list at least three positive aspects of your presentation delivery. 1. Maintained a poised stance throughout the presentation. 2. Didn’t need to look back at the presentation at any point.
All of the information had to be memorized because no note cards were allowed. I was very comfortable giving this presentation and received a high grade as well. Over the past year I have grown more than I could ever imagine as a speaker and it was presentations such as those I had to do with FFA, at my church, and at school that helped me to improve me public speaking. I still do not enjoy public speaking
