Favorite Speech
My favorite speech was the demonstrative speech. I had never done a demonstrative speech before so it was a lot of fun speaking and demonstrating at the same time. I did my demonstrative speech on how to make Guacamole. I found the speech to be challenging too because it was tough getting the hang of doing two things at once. When I was practicing, I found that either I got sucked into demonstrating and stopped speaking, or I focused to much on speaking and messed up on the demo part. However, since I did my speech on preparing a food item, I was able to get a taste of what it feels like to be a TV chef (one of my secret desires). I learned that practicing multiple times is the only thing that can help in making an effective demonstrative speech. Also, in order to be successful at doing two things at once, you need to know your speech backwards and forwards. I had a simple enough topic so it wasn't hard memorizing the facts. I just had to know the different steps that go into making a traditional Guacamole. And since cooking is one of my passions, that part wasn't very hard. Overall, the speech was a lot of fun to prepare, and to watch!

I am glad you liked the demo speech. Do you think that the demo should be the first speech? Or do you think the info speech is a bit easier?
The demonstration speech was my favorite too :) I was totally thinking of Food Network when eveyone was making different types of dishes. It was actually really interesting to see how various dishes were made from different cultures. That was a fun class because we got to eat and watch speeches, kind of like a potluck! I thought it was pretty challenging too to talk and to use your hands at the same time. I guess I can say I've never really done it before up until this class, but I think with more practice I could have done better.
