Q Prompt Identifying the Public Speaking Basics By now you are experts in identifying effective verbal and nonverbal communication.

Did the introduction grab your attention? How? 3. Was the conclusion effective? Why or why not? 4. Provide general comments on the delivery. How did the speaker sound? How was the eye contact? How were the gestures and body movements? 5. How effective was the use of visual aids? Here are the speeches again: Here are the speeches on YouTube (Links to an external site.) in case you are having any issues viewing the speeches. ________________________________________ Guidelines • Your response should be numbered 1-5, reflecting on the prompt above. Each question is work five points. Make sure you answer each question thoroughly so I get a sense that you understand what goes into an effective informative speech. • You do not need to reply to your peers. I want to make other student's perspectives available in case you want to see what they have written. Sometimes it helps to check your perceptions against others. • You will not be able to see any peer responses until you post first. ________________________________________ Rubric This is a graded discussion worth 10 points.
