Nick Janus: Speech Evaluation

I agree with Nick Janus on many of the aspects in his demonstration speech.  First off, Nick talks about his eye contact with the audience. I believe his eye contact was okay, but he was constantly looking down at his instructions or at his hands. What made up for his eye contact in the beginning was his good posture. He wasn’t moving his legs, and was keeping his hand nice and calm. Nick’s posture didn’t have some of the common flaws, which I saw in other speeches. Another aspect that I agree with Nick on is his introduction. It had a good hook, in which I was really intrigued. I agree that Nick’s visually aid wasn’t the best. When doing origami for a speech, it is hard for the audience to get very interested through out the whole presentation. It can be hard to see exactly what the presenter is doing with the paper. I suggest next time that you bring a bigger piece of paper, so the audience can see a bigger picture of the steps. One last thing that I agree with Nick on is that he spoke very fast. Next time, maybe practice a little longer, so you will feel more confident in front of people.  I disagree with Nick on a couple of things as well. One thing that I disagree with is I thought your volume was fine. I could clearly hear you through out the speech. Another aspect, in which I disagree with, is when you say to use a power point. I think this would be too much for an origami project and a bigger piece of paper would suffice. Overall, I thought your speech was good

Technorati Blog Post: Childhood Obesity

I am going to write on the blog post about Childhood obesity, which I wrote about in my informative paper.

The name of the blog that I am using is called The Chart. The motto is, “teens become severely obese adults”. The author of the blog is Leslie Wade. Leslie is a CNN Medical Producer. Leslie had has posted many blogs on “The Chart”. She roughly posts about one every week. This specific blog has been active since November 9, 2010. Leslie Wade tends to use a couple hyperlinks in her blogs that relate to the content that she is writing about. Also, Leslie tends to put other media, which again connects to other points in her blog.

            This blog relates to how obese teenagers will become severely obese adults. This relates to my paper because I talk about how adolescents that are overweight, will tend to become obese as adults. In Leslie Wade’s blogs, she is very informative and she is very strong on her point. In many occasions, she points out what we need to do to improve this problem. Not only is she like this just in this particular blog, but also in many of her other blogs. Overall, this blog directly relates to my informative paper about Childhood obesity
