"Energy Conservation is the foundation of energy independence.” -- Tom Allen

Informitive Speech


This is my first speech in effective speech class on solar power. It went over well; have a lot to work on, like speaking with more passion and getting the audience involved.

Special thanks to the solar generation road trip. I did not realize that so many people have started to turn to solar energy. It is important that people get involved and help Earth in the process.

Persuasive Speech

My second speech was much better. I enjoyed it every much and I found this cute video of young kids saying a poem about Earth Day. It remindedme of how much I love to walk through the woods and how sad I would be if I could not give that to my kids.

I did not lose the audiences this time and keep a more lively tone. Still need to get the audience more involved. The teacher suggested; have people read from the PowerPoint or asks questions. I will have to try this next time.

Procrastination Speech

I teamed up Philip Snyder to deliver my third and final speech. We need did the speech on procrastination because Phil love to procrastinate and he really hurt himself the week before.

For the presentation we wanted to keep it short and forces on the main points. We also wanted to get the class involved. We asked questions and had two students read a comic strip. It seemed to keep the audience attention and the speech lively.
