He speaks and pauses mostly the whole time as well. I think that is his pattern in reading this story. https://nowcomment.com/documents/76773?scroll_to=755781 https://nowcomment.com/documents/76773?scroll_to=755781 Mon, 22 May 2017 12:56:34 -0400 I was bored listening to the video probably because the way he read it. It wasn't really my taste. https://nowcomment.com/documents/76773?scroll_to=755780 https://nowcomment.com/documents/76773?scroll_to=755780 Mon, 22 May 2017 12:54:07 -0400 Baldwin just kept pausing which I feel like at some point it was unnecessary because I just think that way. https://nowcomment.com/documents/76773?scroll_to=755779 https://nowcomment.com/documents/76773?scroll_to=755779 Mon, 22 May 2017 12:52:08 -0400 She was very calm and when she messed up she just went with it without panic. https://nowcomment.com/documents/76768?scroll_to=755777 https://nowcomment.com/documents/76768?scroll_to=755777 Mon, 22 May 2017 12:45:33 -0400 When she's reading, she is still making eye contact with the audience which is a good skill to have when speaking in front of others. https://nowcomment.com/documents/76768?scroll_to=755776 https://nowcomment.com/documents/76768?scroll_to=755776 Mon, 22 May 2017 12:41:33 -0400 The way she read her sister's memoir was at a good pace. She was speaking in a pattern. You can follow along easily. https://nowcomment.com/documents/76768?scroll_to=755775 https://nowcomment.com/documents/76768?scroll_to=755775 Mon, 22 May 2017 12:39:07 -0400 Hopkins is reading in a smooth way. He doesn't seem like he's nervous or giving any type of expressions while reading. Hopkins is just basically reading the way he feels like it should be read. https://nowcomment.com/documents/76767?scroll_to=755248 https://nowcomment.com/documents/76767?scroll_to=755248 Sat, 20 May 2017 16:23:43 -0400 There's not really an up and down type of volume when he's reading. I guess that's the way he believes this story should be told. He is basically reading at his own rhythm. https://nowcomment.com/documents/76767?scroll_to=755247 https://nowcomment.com/documents/76767?scroll_to=755247 Sat, 20 May 2017 16:19:20 -0400 Hopkins has a different flow in his tone. It's like a storyteller type of flow. It's like throughout the whole time he's reading, his tone stays the same. https://nowcomment.com/documents/76767?scroll_to=755246 https://nowcomment.com/documents/76767?scroll_to=755246 Sat, 20 May 2017 16:17:44 -0400 I learned that ideas are important because it can change your point of view of the world and how you look at it. https://nowcomment.com/documents/76698?scroll_to=755100 https://nowcomment.com/documents/76698?scroll_to=755100 Fri, 19 May 2017 13:13:50 -0400 I think presenting will only be easy for you if you actually know your topic. The nervousness will then start to die down and then your pacing will be easy to follow for the audience.Then the audience can actually connect to what you are saying. https://nowcomment.com/documents/76698?scroll_to=755096 https://nowcomment.com/documents/76698?scroll_to=755096 Fri, 19 May 2017 13:02:35 -0400 To connect with your audience, you have to present your topic in a way the audience can engage. I feel like you have to know that there will be audience that won't be too interested in the topic being presented, so give them a reason to do so. https://nowcomment.com/documents/76698?scroll_to=755094 https://nowcomment.com/documents/76698?scroll_to=755094 Fri, 19 May 2017 12:54:56 -0400 This video made me remember about handouts. I forgot all about handouts and now I need to remember that so I can be more prepared with what I present. I think handouts can give you a booster so that maybe some of the audience questions can be answered. https://nowcomment.com/documents/76695?scroll_to=742794 https://nowcomment.com/documents/76695?scroll_to=742794 Tue, 25 Apr 2017 13:02:00 -0400 Watching this video just makes me think about my senior presentation and the way I am going to present my ideal topic. But this video gives me another view on how I should be able to do it without hesitation. The main keys are fairly obvious points given. https://nowcomment.com/documents/76695?scroll_to=742787 https://nowcomment.com/documents/76695?scroll_to=742787 Tue, 25 Apr 2017 12:59:49 -0400 Body posture and the tone of your voice while presenting is what will get the audience attention. With a topic that can seem like a bore, with the way you project, move your hands, & give facial expressions can brighten your presentation a bit. https://nowcomment.com/documents/76695?scroll_to=742779 https://nowcomment.com/documents/76695?scroll_to=742779 Tue, 25 Apr 2017 12:56:23 -0400 With these ideas being presented, it gives the audience another point of view. The audience may or may not have known anything about the presented idea, so that will give them a whole nother insight of something different. That is one of the key points. https://nowcomment.com/documents/76698?scroll_to=742740 https://nowcomment.com/documents/76698?scroll_to=742740 Tue, 25 Apr 2017 12:50:50 -0400 Giving an oral presentation is like giving an idea. With that idea, you put it in the audience mind and they will tend to agree to disagree with it. I believe it is kind of true. The audience will place it in their minds & see any relations. https://nowcomment.com/documents/76698?scroll_to=742728 https://nowcomment.com/documents/76698?scroll_to=742728 Tue, 25 Apr 2017 12:46:45 -0400 To give an oral presentation, it is better to connect with the audience so that they can better understand what you are trying to say. Something to keep in mind for my senior presentation. https://nowcomment.com/documents/76698?scroll_to=742705 https://nowcomment.com/documents/76698?scroll_to=742705 Tue, 25 Apr 2017 12:39:48 -0400 WIth Shakespeare words, to some people it makes it easier to talk about things like sexuality, racism, religion, etc. These words help them express the way they are feeling about the issue. I think studying Shakespeare today is another plus outcome. https://nowcomment.com/documents/76173?scroll_to=735463 https://nowcomment.com/documents/76173?scroll_to=735463 Wed, 12 Apr 2017 13:28:23 -0400 For Shakespeare to create these words are astonishing due to the fact that in his time, the common people would have little knowledge of education. So I think these words were made up so that it can be more understandable for them. https://nowcomment.com/documents/76174?scroll_to=735457 https://nowcomment.com/documents/76174?scroll_to=735457 Wed, 12 Apr 2017 13:23:24 -0400 David Tennant believes that Shakespeare words can never be any better the way he says things. I think Shakespeare words could of improved through the years, but as for him being one person and making up these words are fascinating and made is very clever. https://nowcomment.com/documents/76174?scroll_to=735452 https://nowcomment.com/documents/76174?scroll_to=735452 Wed, 12 Apr 2017 13:20:51 -0400 Are the 1700 words that Shakespeare created are being used to create newer words? https://nowcomment.com/documents/76174?scroll_to=735441 https://nowcomment.com/documents/76174?scroll_to=735441 Wed, 12 Apr 2017 13:14:45 -0400
