Demonstrative speech evaluation

I just finished watching my own demonstrative speech on bike safety and watching it i felt a lot better about my performance than i did during the speech. During the speech i felt i was very nervous and anxious, I also felt like my speech was unorganized and  rushed. I definitely could have used more preparation but in watching the speech a second time i wasn't as worried. There were a few things that popped out such as my use of the interjection um. I used it way too much in my speech and didn't even notice it during. I also turned my back to the audience a few which when watching the speech popped out to me. Definitely want to try and avoid that next time. The use of my visual aid also wasn't very good. Overall though i think the speech went better than i expected and i appeared to be a lot calmer than i actually was.

Response to Alison S

Last week I wrote about the ethics of selling organs and i came to the conclusion that organs should be allowed to e sold. After reading Alison's blog post i think i may have some different ideas. I argued that somebody's organ is their property and therefore they should be able to do whatever they want with it. Allison argued that people cannot be trusted to handle their own organs. People so desperate for money would immediately turn to selling there organs and some may even do it for drugs. The fact is allowing people to sell their organs would be kinda stupid because a lot of people wouldn't realize the consequences and just do it for the money and in the long run that could be very harmful to their own health. I guess that these laws are in place to protect people from themselves. At the same time people are still selling their organs illegally on the black market and that cant be very safe, maybe putting in some kind of procedure could end that because i'm sure people who sell their organs to the a black-market are not recieving proper medical attention for a surgery so intense.

demonstration evaluation

I just finished watching this great instructional Video about kissing passionately. The presentation was flawless they started of with a introduction clearly depicting what i would be learning from watching the video. They then went step by step through the process of getting ready to kiss, beginning to kiss and sustaining the passion. They even numbered off each step. During the getting ready process they went over the materials you will need including a comfortable private area and a partner you are passionate about. They also reminded me to brush my teeth beforehand and to maybe even take a shower, I think we all know that some stank can ruin any passionate make out session. Next they went over the procedure of approaching your partner, which  reminded me to take things slow as not to ruin the mood. I thought the best information I got from this video was to remember to experiment to keep things exciting. Stuff like tongue location, gentle biting, and different mouth configurations can enhance any make out session. just like any other good instructional video they ended things with a conclusion that summed up the entire presentation in around one minute. I realized through watching this instructional video that the conclusion is the most important part of the entire instructional speech process because its the last chance you get to inform your audience. I also realized how important preparation is, clearly this video was well prepared and scripted and the actors did a fantastic job. It was also great how they left room in the process for personalization, because a good make out session can be great if you add some of your own spice. Overall the video was quite informing and I will for sure be trying out some of those new tricks in my next passionate encounter.
