after watching the debate, there are many things that I took away feom what both the candidates said. To start, Lester did an absolutely terrible job moderating the debate and asked terrible questions. But besides that both candidates showed pros and cons. To start, Hillary Clinton did show good public speaking traits and spoke well due to her not being attacked like Trump was. Trump was constantly on the defense and that didnt help him. But besides Hillarys good speaking techniques, it is hard to listen and trust her due to the fact she is a liar and criminal. Trump has always been aggressive and says as he feels which people find refreshing and new. He is a business man not a corrupt politician. Although many people find him to have interruped her he stated good facts and said the aame things he has been saying. Hillary changes her stance constantly to fit what people want to hear jot to mention she is controlled by her donors. I feel that trump took the win on this debate not because i dont like Hillary but because he seemed a lot more passionate about what he was saying and how he was saying it.

First Speech Reflection

Speaking in fromt a group of people seems easy until you have to do it yourself. Standing in front of the class at a podeum is much different than speaking in a class. I noticed that I did move around a lot and my speaking itself can be much better. It was hard to put it all together without making any mistakes. When theres people in front of you, sometimes the mind goes blank and you dont know what to do.

I want to work on memorizing sentences at a time so i can look at the audience more and plant my feet better so i reduce movement

First Draft of Speech

Whether its a needle to a record, a CD in a radio, or chord out of a phone, any form of music is fine for me along with many people around the world. Before I can even remember music as been a major part of my life. It has always been a way for me to relax or focus which is why I feel music should be used in classrooms and here's why.

Many people associate a certain feeling they get when they hear a song or chord progression they like. There are many genres of music that conjure many moods. A song can literally excite you enough to do something or calm you down enough to sleep. There are many strenuous activities in life (many that are undesired), and music in a specific environment could provide an ambiance that brings the best out of people. While obviously it is a distraction to have music playing during a test or note taking,  walking into a classroom with music playing can result in better behavior and better attitudes from students.

What would you rather walk into, a lively classroom playing music or a boring lifeless room that supports the average attitude a teenage student has towards school. I know that I would be much more likely to be engaged and have a better attitude towards that teacher and school day. Everyone likes music, but not a lot of people like school. The thing is though is that you have to be at school, but you don't have to play music. Playing music plays to a psychological aspect too in the sense that students may realize that if the the teacher is willing to create a good environment, than his/her class will be a fun place to learn. Many students do not pay attention due to boredom and lack of interest. Playing music can result in students being more engaged and interested. A happy class is a better behaved class.

It has been proven that certain genres can increase brain activity, resulting in higher productivity. In an educational era where workload can get extremely large, any form of support can be useful. While everyone has their own way of studying and learning in a classroom, listening to music is just a option that I feel works in many ways, and appeals to many people.

First Three Weeks...

For the past three weeks our class have gone over many topics that deal with introductions, habits while talking, and no and intro into speaking in front of big crowds. one of the first things we did was being conscious of our speaking voice. We introduced ourselves in a normal voice then a louder voice (but without screaming). We highlighted on control of our volume and how to sound loud without being hard to listen to. Next we learned how to talk as if we were being interviewed on live television. We worked on answering questions thoroughly and slowly with the appropriate tone. Next we ventured into getting to notice certain habits that people have when they talk. Whether it is swaying, standing in a weird position, or moving around too much we got a better understanding of what looks good and bad. We then covered TedTalks and the ones we liked and why we liked them. We used them to show good habits and what it looks like to deliver a good speech or pitch. Then we viewed bad TedTalks which showed us the exact opposite. All of these activities has shown me what makes a good public speaker. I think what comes easiest to me is answering questions on the spot and general conversation. I need to work on vocal fry and speaking in patterns sometimes. I want to use my senior speech as a motivation to learn the best way to deliver a speech especially one as important as that. I feel that sometimes I need to work on speaking clearer and a little louder. I feel it is different to speak on command especially in a public speaking class, than to talk normally with your friends. I hope to learn speech delivery for that is what i'm most concerned about.

Ted Talk Notes

I think hes funny, he has dry humor which I think is really funny. His delivery could be much better, but overall he is funny.

Second video was my video.

The girl in the third video is incredibly annoying due to her bad word transitions and her high pitchex voice. She looks like a crazy girlfriend who would slash your tired if she caught you talking to another girl.

His voice sounds almost fake and his cadence is loud and uncoordinated.

Bad TedTalk

This TedTalk is very bad because her delivery is extremely annoying. Her weird voice and awkwardness on stage made it very hard to listen. Her slides were outdated and looked like a 90's public television show.

Goodmorning Students and Faculty, come out to support your very own Fighting Cats baseball team this Friday at 5:00. Free t shirts will be given out along with a raffle. Show your support by wearing blue and white and don't forget about the post game open house party to celebrate the W. Thank you and Go Cats!

1.) This first guy was excited and involved with the audience,
he also had good hands and is not boring at all

2.) This second guy had more of a demonstration but had his back turned a lot and there were more awkward moments than wanted.

3.) This guy had a verh awkward entrance but made up for it with his impressive demonstration

Hello reader, my name is Tsav and I am a student in Public Speaking taught by Mrs. Guarino. I am 18 years old and I live in Cheshire, CT. I am a senior at Cheshire Academy and I will be graduating in the spring. My main sport is baseball, and I play guitar as my main hobby. There are many reasons to take public speaking but there are two main reasons why I am taking it. I want to learn the skills of delivering news to a group of people whether good or bad, and to deliver a speech to a large audience. My future job will involve speaking to families, and it is important to know how and be comfortable speaking in front of people.

When I first heard of public speaking, I immediately knew it was going to be a valuable class because of my major. I am looking to be a nurse practitioner, and possibly be a trauma nurse. With every patient comes nervous, know-it-all family members. They are frantic to hear information from anyone with a hospital staff tag on. Thinking about it I knew that I was going to have to learn how to communicate with people who are scared and desperate for news. Things can quickly get even more out of hand if communication skills are lacking, causing families to get angry at you and even the hospital. Speaking to the families and delivering information is a huge part of trauma and really any type patient care.

Putting my future aside, I began to think about my senior speech. With thought I realized that I had no idea how to deliver an important, serious speech to a large audience. There are so many intricacies and behaviors that can contribute to the audience’s overall perception of the speech. I began to wonder how I look and act when I speak in front of people. I wanted to learn how to avoid certain habits, and adopt good ones. Senior speech is a very important part of my last year of high school I want to me it the best I can.

I feel that everyone should take public speaking because it is an extremely useful skill to learn. Every single job in the world requires communication with other people. When you are talking to someone who has very bad communication habits it is hard to listen, pay attention, and have a conversation with them. People nowadays are so obsessed with their phones and other devices that they are losing the art of talking, making this class even more of a value. There are times when you can speak loosely to your friends and even family, but there are times when you need to demonstrate basic skills of communicating whether it’s with your boss, your teacher, or your work team. Speaking is the main way of communicating and people need to learn how to do so in the correct way.
