Chapter 9 in the Envision book.

I sat down once again and began reading the Envision book. This week is chapter 9. I enjoyed reading the section called selection. It talked somewhat about how to properly prepare for a speech with a time restriction. It gave multiple suggestions regarding if the presentation time limit is X the your should aim for this amount of time. I think that planning ahead and making sure that you, as a speaker, do not go over your time limit is important. Organization is also very important. I think personally that a presenter needs to figure this out, well ahead of time, in order to deliver a great speech. If the presenter does not have a basic structure he won’t be able to deliver an effective speech. I think that the flow chart is very important. The flow charts help the presenter to visualize what he is going to talk about and in what order. Practicing your presentation is also very important. It can help you improve your presentation and speech. Many famous people like Hitler, and Churchill practiced their speeches so that they could be more effective when giving their actually speech. Also another good idea is to be creative and not using the same ways of presenting. Using innovative multimedia to help support your argument is can also give you an edge while presenting. Rose Emerson used well timed video of her playing a game called Modern Warfare 2 which enhanced her speech regarding video games. These ideas can help increase the effectiveness of a presentation and I personally will keep theses in mind for future presentation.
