Raghu Inturi I really liked your attention getter because it had audience involvement. You obviously know that High School students don’t love anything more than relaxing, so your attention getter was captivating because it was something we could all relate to. Moreover, I liked the question you posed of what happened to our principle of fun because that’s a deeper question than it seems to be, and it really made me think. Counting Spongebob, I counted exactly 6 sources. Though SpongeBob added to the pathos of your argument, I don’t know is he counted as a credible source with a lot of information. Nevertheless, I did like you you analysed his idea of F.U.N. Your eye contact was really good throughout your speech, and it was definitely more …show more content…

For example, you laid out a roadmap at the beginning of the speech to explain what you will talk about first, second, and last. I knew exactly where you were going with your speech at the beginning, where it was going in the middle, and what you had talked about by the end. Moving on your transitions -- and just your transitions -- was also helpful for your audience because we knew you were moving onto the next point. You used fluctuation to show the importance of some of your points. For example, you slowed down when you were explaining statistics to help your facts “sink in.” The one point that really stood out to me personally was when you said that our brains are the greatest computers. This stood out to me because it was a really good analogy, but also because you really stressed your voice to show just how great our brains are. I don’t think I heard any repetitions of signal phrases, and they were all very effective. Some examples of good signal phrases you used include: “A study by... , As confirmed by …, … explains in his TED talk, in a survey conducted by… , to quote… , and Glen Lopez’s article states….” These were all different signal phrase,s and I do think you did a pretty good job with validating each of them. All of your signal phrases seemed pretty natural which really helped with seamlessly embedding your

This was evident through the feedback that he received from the audience, and how smoothly the speech seemed to flow. Along with his speaking sytle, Mike used a variety of supports as well including: narratives, statistics, explanations, and testimonies. He switched between these types of supports throughout the speech, and used each of them very effectively. On the other hand, there was one weakness towards the end of the speech, when it appeared that he tried to call his audience to action by telling them to get back to work. If this was the case, it appeared more humorous than serious, and did not help to conclude his

His speaking skills, eye contact, and posture make the audience confident in his ability to improve their lives, making up for the lack of logic, and adding to his ethical and emotional appeal. The audience was so entranced with his speaking abilities and caught up in his message, they missed how the information seemed to jump around. The transitions between main points were seamless, so when only listening the first time it is not noticeable. It is the topics that are not put in a logical order and overall make him seem like he is not a credible

Considering that he speaks to large groups of students every day, he managed to keep his voice animated, and even though he stumbled over his words a little, he overall was very composed and kept the audience engaged. For the most part his physical delivery was minuscule because he was behind a podium. But he would use hand gestures at certain points to further express his point. The overall impression I conveyed from David McCullough is confidence, and because of title, as well as his confidence, he seemed very credible. And because of his confidence and credibility, the audience was very engaged and responsive.

I esspecially liked how you tied Russian forces and groups into the natural adaptaion process and how you used the insurgancy in Iraq to explain the directed adaptaion process. You have clearly put a lot of thought combined with personal expireance into your post. Showing the lineage of how the insurgants started with one set of TTP's and adapted to where they are now was a perfect example of demonstraing the directed process. It show how we combated thier use of IED's with up-armored vehicles and how they ultimately refined their skills using outside forces. This really showed not only a good hybrid threat, but how easily our enemies can adapt to our growing

Being confident shows your audience you are comfortable talking about your topic and that you are well informed on what you are specking of. Another thing that I can improve on is relaxing, for example, to not be so nervous. If I can think two steps ahead before I speak it would prepare me for what I am about to say which will allow my words to flow out smoothly and correctly. I plan on improving these skills by practicing more speeches in front of people and doing some relaxation exercises before my speech. I believe by implementing more speeches and doing some of the exercises, it will have me more relaxed, keep my mind focused and boost up my confidence so that I may present my speech flawlessly for an A plus grade.
