Please Note This Is Merely An Example Paper I Will Write This As

(PLEASE NOTE: This is merely an example paper. I will write this as a hypothetical student, and use President Obama as the example… he is NOT an option for your paper… I am just using him for this ‘sample’ so as to not influence what you choose to do on your own. Please use either President Clinton (2000 Democratic National Convention speech) or Reagan (1988 Republican National Convention speech), or get another speaker approved in advanced with me). Carl A.Student COM 111: 12 Noon Class I chose to do my modeling of public speaking assignment on President Barack Obama. Humor: I would give myself a 3 on this, as I am not generally very funny.

I could improve this by adding some jokes to my speech, and being a bit more lighthearted in delivery. Good eye contact: I would rate myself a 6 on this, as I do pretty good looking at my audience, but could improve. In order to improve, I would practice my speech more so that I do not need to look at my notes so often. Passion: While he seems to care a lot about what he is speaking about, I would give myself a 5 on this, as there are times that I am merely trying to get done with the speech. To improve this, I would find the parts about my topic that I care about, and use those as my main points.

That way each main point can be delivered with good energy and passion. Good speed: He doesn’t talk too fast like I do. I would give myself a 4 on this one, as when I get nervous I tend to talk too fast. I can improve this by taking some deep breaths to calm myself down, practicing more so I am more confident, and by getting more practice in public speaking. Communicates confidence: He seems very sure of himself, and that helps people have more confidence in him.

I would give myself an 8 for this one, as I think I do communicate good confidence. I could improve in this area, however, by standing up straighter like he does, and reminding myself that I know my speech, have done my research and believe in what I am saying. Responds to the audience: He reacts to the audience—smiling and responding to their non-verbal reactions to him. This can make the audience feel more important and like him more. I do not do this, and would give myself a 1 or 2 in this area.

I can improve this by reading the non-verbal messages from my audience, and adapting to them. If they laugh, for example, not interrupting… if they look confused, take a moment and give a better example to explain. Tells audience why this is important to THEM: This is one I do not do very well… I would give myself a 3. I do speeches on topics that are interesting to me, and do not really think about whether it would also be interesting to the audience. To improve this, I will consider my audience in selecting my topic, and include a sentence or two that tells them why this should be interesting or important for them to know.

Modeling Assignment Note: This assignment is Extra Credit, and is therefore NOT required in this course. During the discussion of NLP, we did a ‘modeling exercise’. In class we used someone we respected… for this assignment, we will do modeling for public speaking. You are to select one of the following speeches: Ronald Reagan’s 1988 Republican National Convention Speech ( " ) Roughly 48 minutes OR Bill Clinton’s 2000 Democratic National Convention speech ( " ) Roughly 40 minutes These two former Presidents were highly regarded as very good orators (speakers)… you will list what they do very well as speakers. You then rate YOURSELF on a scale of 1-10 on how well YOU do those things… then for each item (5-10 items), you should write a few sentences on how YOU could improve in that area.

For an example, please look at the example provided on Moodle. NOTE: You are NOT to simply select the same items on the modeling example… please actually watch either President Reagan or Clinton, come up with a list of things you find make them good speakers, rate YOURSELF and how YOU can improve in each area! Home Speech Assignment NOTE: This speech may NOT be the same topic as you used in either of your two in class speeches! The purpose of this assignment is to get feedback from people that are not speech instructors. To complete this assignment, you should prepare a 4-6 minute speech to be delivered to a minimum of five people (can be friends, classmates, co-workers, etc).

Perform the speech, and solicit feedback from members of the audience (I recommend assuring the audience that any negative feedback is welcome and will not harm your grade on this assignment). It is often a good idea to ask that the audience write their comments for you (to avoid one person giving feedback, and the others simply agreeing). To turn in this assignment, you should copy and paste it into the online submission form here on Moodle. For this assignment, you will turn in the following: Complete outline of your speech (sources cited/bibliography included) First and last names of each person that watched the speech, and the date of the speech. A comment summary form (after reading or listening to the feedback from the audience, please type up a list of the positive and negative feedback from the audience).

Please include a minimum of three positive and three negative comments from the audience. DUE: The start of the last week prior to the Final Exam ! NOTE: This must be turned in via Moodle’s online submission form for the assignment --if you email it or slide it under my office door, I am not responsible if it gets lost.
