Chapter 9 Concept
I feel that I have a weakness is starting off my introduction and ending my conclusion when it comes to a speech or even an essay. So I looked to Chapter 9 since it discusses useful concepts to help me in those areas. I have always known to start an introduction with an attention getter, but luckily the book gave examples of the kinds of attention getter you can use such as humor or asking a question. I read that an effective attention getter: focuses attention on the importance and relevance of the topic by showing how the topic relevance of the topic by showing how the topic relates to the audience”. There are many other ideas for it to be effective we should all read on. I also have to remember to use my creativity and presentation media. For my conclusion I just need to review my main points, reinforce my purpose and provide closure to the audience.

Hi Kai,
ReplyDeleteI also think that my introduction was very bad on the first speech because I forgot to present my main points until my first one was in process. Then again, I think that the chapter 9 in the book really helped the introduction and conclusion. It tells what is needed in the introduction and conclusion and if we can use that information and keep in mind of how the steps on the introduction and conclusion goes, we would be fine as we make our speech.
