Javier Garcia Speech Critique
On this speech critique, the person that I had the pleasure to critique was Javier Garcia with his speech on “What Is Engineering?” Throughout this speech critique report, I’m going to explain some of the sections that Javier covered very well and some of the sections that he needs improvement in. Also, with an explanation of why I gave him a certain score in a section and advice on how to improve upon it. I’m going to start off with the first section, out of the three, involved with the speech evaluation form. The first section of the speech evaluation form is the substance and organization. This section is evaluating on how well the speech was organized and if the speech was creditable. Javier did fairly well in this section but, did have …show more content…
The one sub-category of this section that I felt that Javier could’ve executed better was the appearance of being prepare. I’m not trying to say that he did know the material but when he’s presenting a speech in front of the audience and reading his out-line can really make the audience feel like he wasn’t prepare or intersected in the audience at all. After observing this, I decided to give a three in the sub-category of the section because maintaining eye contact with the audience as much as possible let’s the audience know that you appreciate their attend and therefore, keeps the audience interacting. What I recommend is to next time try to not use the out-line so much and only use it to keep you on track and to read off any direct quotes you may have. Try to have an ideal or mental picture in your head of how your out-line looks like so you kind of have memorizes your main points and can talk about them without reading your out-line word for word. Overall, Javier did a outstanding job with the rest of the sub-categories in this section like meeting all of the requirements of the assignment and adapting the speech to fit the audience. It was a pleasure having the chance to critique Javier on his speech, “ What is Engineering?” Also, having the chance of improving some of the critiques I listed throughout this essay and him becoming a better speaker than he already

    Luis Chavez is an upstanding young man who was also one of the most inspiring teenagers I had ever met in my life. I had the pleasure of working with Luis while I was employed with City Year Chicago, an AmeriCorps program. Luis had done volunteer service with City Year’s Young Heroes Program for years as a middle school student. In 2008, he joined the City Heroes Program, the high school equivalent of Young Heroes, during my term as a Senior Corps Member and Program Leader for City Heroes. Not only was Luis a consistent participant, he was a leader among his peers. He met with us weekly to plan activities and contribute…

    “A Message to Garcia” was a small story about a man who was called upon for a nearly impossible task. At the time the United States of America was in a bit of turmoil with Spain. President William McKinley it was wise to become allies with Cuban rebels who were led by General Garcia. Cuba at the time was under Spanish control and allying with the Cuban rebels seemed to be a powerful foothold for the U.S.…

    At the Bernie Sanders rally, he used a variety of techniques while presenting to the group. I noticed when he hit key talking points in his argument; he would use his hands that would elicit a stronger reaction from the crowd. He read his audience demographics well by hitting on housing cost, minimum wage and the high cost of tuition (all very important concerns of college students). However, there were some points he made I felt to be confusing. At one point in his speech, he mentioned how Native Americans were taken advantage of in the past. He tried to say that we should follow the Native American’s lessons and live with nature (and not destroy it with fossil fuel and natural gas exploration). It seemed he used a fallacy to connect two…

    Chavez uses a passionate tone throughout the speech. He begins by demonstrating to the audience how "marches, strikes, and boycotts are not only weapons against the grower" but they are the only way to "avoid senseless violence".This shows the reader that despite the fact that there are many other options to convey your voice, the options that don't create violence are the logical options. This demonstrates his passion for avoiding violence by his efforts to persuade the audience that this options are the…

    Luis Rodriguez Speech

    • 935 Words
    • 4 Pages

    Rodriguez’s speech means that intellect is not simply defined by going to school and getting conventionally good grades, but by the pursuit of knowledge. He means that education does not end after high school or even college, our minds should constantly be feeding and learning new things so we can continue to grow. Learning is messy, learning contains mistakes, it may look like a series of failures but if you persist you can achieve great things. Learning even looks different on everyone and that is not strange. We can become so focused on just getting by with good grades in school we can forget what an amazing opportunity we have, and when we can access to each other’s minds the possibilities are endless.…

    While there are various noteworthy engineering strands, the one that stands out the most to me is computer engineering. Computer engineering appeals to me because of its expanse into people's lives, and future opportunities. As a relatively new field, computer engineering has grown exponentially over the past few decades. These new innovations and gadgets have had a great impact on my life since the day I was born. SMART Boards occupying each of my grade school classrooms. Then at the age of ten, after a summer of meticulous yard work for my neighbor, I bought my first apple Ipad. From here more and more technology began to enter my life. Each new laptop and smartphone making my life somewhat easier and faster; starting a snowball effect of me being my family’s go to person for help with their slow computers. Now, today, there's not a square foot of my room that doesn’t contain some form of technology. And I owe it all to computer…

    During the remainder of the school year I will be excited to write about what I will be doing for my senior project. In the events of my senior project I will be doing college and career technical educational study for the first semester. The topic of my senior project will be on environmental engineers. I chose the topic of engineering because I like to solve problems, and problems are an engineer’s inspiration, and I also like to design. You would be surprised of the ideas of what engineers bring to our world today like the games we play on our smart phones, the trains we ride, the bridges we drive on, even the tooth paste we use. Everything we use in our lives everyday are because of engineer’s. Engineering is about making something possible and creating ideas for our future. Also, in the journey of the remainder of my senior year, I will be taking note of and visiting colleges that offer the knowledge and experiences of becoming an engineer. During college visits I will be checking out quad and hangout spots, dorms, dining halls, classrooms, gyms, on-campus athletic facilities, and bookstores. As I make my way around campuses I will socialize with others and ask questions about anything I need to know. I will be filling out college applications, writing college essays, getting recommendations from the people I know, and I will be making a power point on my topic of engineering. My college applications will be filled out by December 1st, My college researches will be done by November 9th, My college essays will be done by December 14th, I will have all of my recommendations by December 1st, all of my college visits will be done by December 15th, My speech from my selected book will be read by November 18th, My 500 word essay on a Game Plan for Life will be done by October 5th, My power point presentation will be done by January 3rd, and my presentation of the culminating PP college project will also be done by January 3rd.
