Speeches Begin on 9/18- Shawn Achor/ Introductory Speech Prep!

I) WORK ON YOUR Speech!!!


  • Outline
  • Talking points (index cards)
  • Re-read the evaluation for speeches
  • Review Your notes (my lecture/fishbowl) and Chapters 1&4.

Do not forget ONE Visual AND.... YOU MUST HAND IN A FORMAL OUTLINE in order to perform your speech!

____________________________________________________________________________
II) Watch : SHAWN ACHOR- TED Talk "The Happy Secret To Better Work" (2012)
Author of Big Potential (2018) The Happiness Advantage (2011)
Leading Expert in the Psychology of "Happiness and Success" Achor is a business man, teacher and psychologist

As you watch.. take notes.. How does Shawn engage the audience? Does he have a thesis? a Main point?
How does he begin his speech? As far as his rhetoric, does it motivate? captivate? How and when does he make solid points regarding happiness? Does he incorporate facts, percentages and statistics into his speech?  How does he maintain his credibility. What did you like/dislike about the speech? What did you learn?

We will go over this in class when the speeches are complete. Try to watch it before you give your speech. It helps to watch others perform speeches. You can develop skills by both watching speeches and performing speeches!

Have A Wonderful Weekend!
