Demonstration Speech Lava Lamp

Demonstration Analysis I recently did my demonstration speech on how to make a lava lamp. In my opinion the speech went very well. The specific purpose of my presentation was for my classmates to be able to make their own lava lamp to help them take care of kids they have to babysit. I believe I did a very good job at explaining the procedure of making a lava lamp step by step. I am confident that after my presentation was over everyone in the class would be able to make their own lava lamp. Firstly, my introduction went very well. I believe I was able to draw them in by relating to them while also gaining credibility. To start off, I tried to relate the project to them. I figured most college-aged students have had a tough time babysitting a kid at some point in their life. For that reason, I decided to say the lava lamp could be used to help kids. Also, I was able to gain credibility during my introduction. I stated that I had been helping my mom for years with it while also doing it when I …show more content…

I kept the process into three simple steps, gathering supplies, mixing liquids, and adding the activator. Despite the ease of the project, I also went into detail. I made sure to teach them every tip I knew, like not using a full tablet and using dark food coloring. To help keep the process streamlined I was able to use my visual aid to help. I used my visual aid to show the class what the bottle should look like each step of the way. I also used my visual aid to help me with speaking points. If I was ever stuck I could always look back to regain my train of thought, these worked similar to notecards. My delivery had its highlights and its lowlights. My volume was good and I kept eye contact for a majority of the speech, only slipping up as a transitioned between notecards. However, I could hear my voice shake throughout the project as well. That made the speech seem a little less

Evaluating a Demonstration Speech After several viewings of the video titled “How To Charleston – Demonstration Speech” by Neal Werle, I noticed he used lots of verbal and nonverbal methods to deliver his presentation. As this video begins, I immediately saw his appearance because he was dressed nicely with a tie. Some other nonverbal means of communication he used were his posture and body movements that conveyed energy and spark interest. His use of hand gestures, facial expressions, and eye contact let his audience know he was talking to every one of the members of the public. His use of verbal communication conveyed that dancing was fun, exercise and can be useful at parties which engaged his audience.

In the novel A Tale of Two Cities, the author Charles Dickens uses the literary devices of symbolism and motifs to assist the reader by developing the various themes that are prevalent in the novel. Dickens clearly uses the symbols and motifs in A Tale of Two Cities to develop the themes by emphasizing them throughout the novel and by connecting them to the events that occur, as seen in using the motif of resurrection. Dickens uses a plethora of characters such as Doctor Manette, Charles Darnay, and Sydney Carton to embody the motif of resurrection by connecting to the themes in the novel, specifically how turmoil can allow people to be reincarnated as a new person. I would consider our presentation to be decent because we had many flaws and organizational issues. I believe the lesson was able to help our classmates understand the symbols and motifs in A Tale of Two Cities and how they helped them better understand the book.

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.

I used more gestures that on my last speech, I moved around more, and I maintained eye contact throughout most of the speech. I did smile at the beginning of the speech, but I did not at the end. I also feel that when I went back to my seat I did not leave a good “pow” statement for the class to think about. For my next speech, I could improve my delivery with less exaggerated gestures, and less stuttering. I still need to focus on dynamism and

Everyone, at some point in their life, has a proud moment. Something that the memory of just fills them with pride. As I sit in my 4-H lawn chair, watching the Scarecrow Fest parade, I am reminded of the time I won the 4-H Demonstration Contest. It was a warm summer day, and I was about twelve years old.

In my speech on the defunding of Planned Parenthood I kept a very even tone of voice. I could always understand myself and I thought I did a good job sounding confident speaking in front of an audience, which is something I struggle with. Renan Havill also mentioned that I “spoke clearly and effectively.” The passion I feel about my subject was very evident at times by the way I changed my voice to emphasize certain points I was making. I could definitely improve on keeping an even pace throughout my speech.

I get anxious, and sometimes I jump from one topic to another. I need to maintain eye contact with the audience instead of looking at my notes. I will make sure to finish my presentation within time. It is important to complete a speech within time because my points were deducted in my previous speech (over time– 6.25 minutes). I should limit the use of articulations in my speech/ presentation.

In future speeches, I want to be able to give a speech without feeling nervous or awkward. I need to learn how to stay focus and not get off track while presenting my speech or story. One way I can fix this issue is by organizing my ideas clearly on loose leaf or index cards. By writing out my ideas I will have a better chance of remembering what to say while presenting. My speech would look better prepared and well organized allowing me to perform it in a comfortable manner.
