Question

Recall an informational speech or lecture that you have heard in the past. Use specific examples to explain whether you felt this speech was effective or not. What did the speaker do well? What could the speaker have improved upon? What did you learn from the presentation?

Answer 1

An informational speech/lecture I have heard in the past was on: "How to Stretch to Get Your Splits" Personally, I felt that this speech was merely somewhat effective. The speaker did well on incorporating presentation aides into the speech, for she demonstrated the stretches herself. The speaker could have improved on the presentation of the material itself, for she read directly from the slides. This action hindered the effectiveness pf her speech, for it caused the audience to meddle in a state of boredom.
