Self-evaluation of Class Presentation The controversial speech that I presented to the class discussed the benefits of a self-driving car. The self-driving car has been around for some time in this society. I found three sources that supported my position when I started to work on my speech. The three sources that I found were from the Franklin Institute, the Research Journal about Engineering and Mechanics, and the New York Time Magazine. The authors wrote about the benefits of self-driving cars for all people. For many who could not or should not drive a car, the self-driving car would help them to go around the city. For those who live in the rural areas where there is not easy access to public transportation, the self-driving car would …show more content…

When I started doing research about my topic, I found that what got my attention were the statistics from the Highways Traffic Administration. So, I thought that if this caught my attention at first, it would get others people’s attention as well. When I gave the speech, I used the statistics in my first sentence. After I gave them, I realized there was silence in the room. I think this was a good way of getting their attention. For the conclusion of my speech, I used one of the quotes that I had found, because the quote could make people think about the meaning. Then I concluded my speech with a little quote about the new approach of the self-driving …show more content…

Other body language that I used during my speech was to have a “confused” facial expression a few times throughout the speech. My articulation during my speech was not perfect. There were some mumble words that I, myself, couldn’t understand clearly, and I do not know if my classmates understood them. When I realized that I mumbled too much, I slowed down my speech. My strength in giving my speech was that I changed my voice depending on what I wanted the audience to understand completely and what I wanted them to get out of my speech. I did not use a monotone voice when I gave my

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.

The topic I chose for my informative speech was gun violence in the United States. I chose this topic so that others may be aware of all the violence related to a firearm and to inform them of the dangers associated with a gun in the United States. Everyday we turn on the news and hear about a new tragedy involving some sort of firearm. Therefore choosing gun violence as the topic for my speech seemed appropriate. I believe my topic opened the eyes of my audience because of the effect it had on them, especially being that I myself was a victim to gun violence and went through the whole ordeal of being hospitalized and all other effects that follows after being shot.

Feel like saving a couple bucks, how about hundreds? I have chosen to do my informative speech on the impact of Electric Cars on the automotive industry, the environment, the economy, and society today. Electric cars have formed a large scale impact on the automotive industry itself, providing a lot more options for people looking for a car. The environment is helped by these cars because there are less emissions produced by these cars as opposed to traditional gas. The economy has changed as a result of this because the cars do not require gasoline fill ups to run, but electric bills will rise as a result of charging.

As students, presentations are something that is required in most classes yet, students do not see themselves as public speakers. Throughout high school and now in college, I have had to present material in 80 percent of the classes that I have taken. Presenting was, and still is something that I struggle with no matter how big or how small the group is that I am presenting to.

Speaking in front of people is out of my comfort zone.
