Public Speaking

This semester, i learned a lot about public speaking. I learned that public speaking can be very nerve racking and requires a lot of confidence and practice. A good public speaker should be able to glance at the audience every once in awhile to show that they are speaking word for word and know what they are talking about. I learned that it takes a lot to become a good public speaker because you need to convey information while also engaging with the audience you are presenting to. A good speech should have the audience interested and engage at all times and should be written with facts, proper sentence structure, proper punctuation and with good paragraph and idea structure. To be a good audience/listener you should always be respectful of the speaker and not be distracted.

Collaborating Core Competency Reflection

  • If there is disagreement within the group, I find it helpful to let everyone share their ideas. I would usually let each person explain their idea one at a time and after we discuss and settle down on a idea.
  • When I need to work collaboratively with people I don’t know well, I try to be friendly and really listen to what they have to say. In a group with no one i know i will try to get to know them and what they might want to agree on for the project and overall make jokes and be kind.
  • I know the group is working well together when I hear/ see my peers complementing each others work or saying what they did looks good.
  • I show others that I truly value their contributions by saying thank you if they fixed my work or if they gave me feedback on something i did wrong.

What is one goal you have for yourself going forward?

– One goal that i have for myself moving forward is getting better at English and overall become a better writer. I can achieve this goal by continuing to pay attention in class and to continue putting extra writing or work into my English work. I am working towards this goal because i was very bad at English in the past and now i really want to be good at it.

Persuasion and Advertisement Techniques

Persuasion and Advertisement Unit Reflection

Why is it important to remember who benefits from the advertisement when you view an advertisement?

-It is important to remember who benefits from an advertisement because if the advertisement ever persuades you, always remember not to give in and analyze who actually benefits from the ad.

Choose one form of persuasion and explain why it is effective in persuading you/an audience: logical, ethical, emotional

-Ethical Persuasion is very effective when persuading. It uses your idols and inspirations for example to persuade you into thinking the advertisement is good and you should invest into it. If i saw someone very famous and a doctor for example advertising that a certain toothpaste brand is healthy and good for you, i will most likely give in to it and invest in the toothpaste.

Choose an advertising technique and explain why it is effective in selling a product.

-Bandwagon is very effective in selling a product. For example if an advertisement was telling me to buy these new shoes, bandwagon will apply if they say something like “Everyone is wearing these shoes right now and so should you”, or “These shoes are being worn by every popular teenager”. Those types of phrases will catch most people and think the product makes them cool etc.

Core Competency Reflection

One of the ways I ensured my group was clear on what we were doing was to brainstorm our ideas first on a different PowerPoint then gathering all our good ideas and pasting it on a good copy.

When there was disagreement within the group, I found it helpful to let everyone share there ideas one at a time and we try to agree on one thing as a group.

I showed that I valued feedback from others in my group by asking them if a did a good job on my part of the advertisement and asking them if i should change anything.
