It's time to "speak up" #9

Hey there! I'm glad to write to you again. Hope you were waiting for my new posts!
Let's start this week with evaluation's posts. Traditionally I'm going to evaluate my groupmates' speeches which were given on the previous week.


Today I'd like to start with Alexandra's speech.

1. Introduction

- What technique(s) was used in the introduction? 

The speaker used the technique "Giving a quotation" and and also she used rhetorical questions.

- Any link-element? 

"Through the use of eye contact, body posture, gestures, and facial display, you enhance your message and invite your audience to give their serious attention to it, and to you. You can control this visual factor by learning how to manage your body in front of the audience."

- Was the thesis statement given? 

Today we are going to talk about Approaching the speaker’s platform; Maintaining eye contact; Good posture.

- How effective was the introduction?

Very effective 10, 9, 8

Average 7, 6, 5

Not effective 4, 3, 2, 1

Max 10 pts ____9_____

2. Body

·   -  How well structured was the information presented?

Highly organized 10, 9, 8

Some organized 7, 6, 5, 4

None 3, 2, 1

- What organizational structure was used in the body of the speech? 

The speaker used outlining. It was main headings, supporting materials and some details. Also the speech had a lot of transitions and signposts which showed how all the parts of speech went together. It helped me a lot!

       - How understandable was the information (was it clearly explained)?

Very good 10, 9, 8

3. Conclusion

·   - What technique(s) was used in the conclusion?

     It was a quotation by Anne Parillau “Body language is essential, just to be free, to use it like your voice. A body can be small and have incredible violence. A body talks.”

      -  Were all the steps followed (summary, action, emotional appeal?) 

         yes, all the steps were followed.

·      - How effective was the conclusion?
