SPC2608 7220 800 AM Group 4

Thalia Diaz, Group 4     All of the groups presentations were helpful because public speaking is something that can be difficult for people, including me. Sometimes speaking in front of others can feel uncomfortable because you may feel nervous worried about making a mistake or unsure if people are listening. The presentations showed me that being a public speaker is not just about standing in front of a class and talking. There are things that a person needs to think about before during and after giving a speech. One thing I liked about the groups was how they explained the different parts of public speaking and how they connected them together.

We talked about building confidence, listening, developing your purpose and topic, adapting to your audience, researchi...

  Sophia Avendano Group 4     As we begin our new class in public speaking, we were all assigned a group to presen t what each chapter talked about. During each presentation I identified added information that can be extremely helpful for the future me. Group 1 started the presentation explaining the importance of public speaking and how it slowly cooperates in your daily life. Mostly in chapter 1 and 2 it gives us information on the importance of really integrating with the public when speaking .
