I decided to compare between the most influential speaker
and the least influential speakers in chemistry class. I must note that for
most of the students in this class, it was the first experience in public
speaking. So, I will start with the
least influential speaker, because it is easy; I simply don’t remember him or
her. Actually, after calculating how many presentations I watched and how many
I can't remember, I figured out that there must be three of four presentations that
I can't even remember the subject. As for the most inflectional one, it is one
student that was very enthusiastic about the chemical process taking place when
one developing pictures in a dark room. Although the process was way too
difficult to understand at this level of chemistry, he was still able to
deliver the main idea. I think that the reason I remember it so well, is
because he was so excited to share his knowledge.
Sunshine,
ReplyDeleteWhat a great example! To bring it into perspective on a level we all know, was a great idea. I think we have all been in a class with a bunch of "rookie" speakers, and yes we have all heard the bad speeches that within less than 5 minutes after the class we don't remember the topic, or the main points. You are correct about the better speakers. When I hear a good speech, and I haven’t seen the person in a while, I can still remember the speech say hi, and have an ice-breaking moment to start a conversation. We all have the capability of being great; it just depends on our confidence. Just like Bob the Builder says… “Can we do it, Yes we can!”
What a great statement to end your post with, you sure made me laugh… Bob the Builder is awesome!
