The Importance of Structuring a Speech      properly deliver the speaker's ability to connect with and impact their listeners. One of the most important factors that must be considered during public speaking is the structure of the speech. The structure of a speech is made up of many aspects, specifically the primacy and recency effects. The primacy effect states that most of the information learned during a speech is the information that is shared at the beginning of the speech. The recency effect states that the information that was told last is easiest to refresh in an individual's mind. A big principle of a speech is to make sure that you grab the audience's attention from the gate. The information told during a speech must be delivered with the purpose as well as making sure that the information is reputable and credible to ensure that you can properly deliver on the topic you're speaking about. ---------------------------------------------------------------------...

 Public speaking is an essential skill that affects many parts of our lives especially in school and work.

      Public speaking as a group offers numerous benefits that enhance both individual and collective skills. First, it fosters teamwork and collaboration, encouraging group members to share ideas and perspectives.

Kyle Soriano Reflection

  My presentation was about Chapter 10: Using Language Effectively. This chapter outlines everything about communicating with your audience effectively and using the right words or phrases that will lead the audience to gain the maximum understanding of the message you are trying to convey. This topic covered expressions such as slang, jargon, idioms, and more. I thought this was a great topic to discuss because most times a speaker may be trying to give a message that the audience doesn't particularly understand. This chapter helped me understand that using the right terms and phrases at the right time can really determine if your speech is successful or a failure. For example, I believe if you are talking to an older audience, you should avoid slang because they may not understand. My presentation lacked some detail, but I did a wonderful job along with all my classmates.   All the projects were great. They were highly informative and gave great advice t...
