Self Evaluation - Speech or Presentation Example

These were effective as I saw some people in the audience deep in thought at these points. I also made a point to move across the room to ensure that I had all the attention of my listeners; this was achieved since most of them closely followed my movements across the room. My voice tone also reflected various points that were being passed during the speech. To emphasize a point I made sure my tone had a sense of finality unlike at times when I was just stating basic points when my tone was relaxed.

As I was preparing for my speech I practiced several times before the mirror to ensure that my body language added credibility to my talk. To make it more effective I made sure there were slight pauses as I gave my talk to ensure the listeners had a few seconds to deliberate over what I just said. I also made use of notes that carried the major points that I covered in my talk. In this way, I could just take a glance at them and I could recall the whole point.The introduction is clearly outlined in the first paragraph and does its role in introducing the subject matter.

It informs us about Facebook and gives a brief description and background information about the social site. The body contains discussions on the social network site and this is done in detail, starting from more information about the site to the various topics in regards to the site: such as the criticisms to the site and the media impact that the site has on the general population. The conclusion part of my essay was not clearly laid out. This is because after the last discussion point my talk ended.

There should be a discussion that summarizes all the points that have been discussed and lets my listeners know my stand in relation to Facebook.Before my next presentation, there are several things that I will ensure I do. One of these is practice the speech in front of a mock crowd. This is important as I will be able to evaluate whether all the relevant points were covered and if my presentation was clear as expected. Another thing that I can do to increase the effectiveness of my presentation is to include examples and exact statistics.

For example, when I write that Facebook has led to an increase in the number of divorces I should have done more research and included the exact statistics about the rates of divorce before Facebook was popular and the present rate of divorces attributed to Facebook. Finally, I talked about the media impact of Facebook, to make such a point clearer it is important that I compare it to other forms of social media so that the impact can be more easily seen.
