Audio Transcript Auto-generated

• 00:01 - 00:01

  What's up, everyone?

• 00:02 - 00:05

  It is time to talk about the informative speech, not

• 00:05 - 00:07

  the outlining this time, the speech itself.

• 00:08 - 00:09

  And the goal in this video is to talk about

• 00:10 - 00:13

  what to do not just from a delivery perspective and

• 00:13 - 00:14

  how to meet the requirements for the speech.

• 00:15 - 00:17

  But how to make sure all the elements of your

• 00:17 - 00:20

  outline get put into a speech for Matt and ineffective

• 00:21 - 00:23

  and, I think, engaging white.

• 00:23 - 00:24

  That's the goal here.

• 00:24 - 00:26

  Okay, so for the speech, let's talk a little bit

• 00:27 - 00:28

  about what's expected of you there.

• 00:29 - 00:32

  In terms of the topic, let's start here.

• 00:32 - 00:34

  The goal is hopefully, like you said for that.

• 00:36 - 00:38

  For that description of the topic, I want you to

• 00:38 - 00:40

  think about something that is new.

• 00:41 - 00:45

  Cutting edge different, allows you to use new, updated resource

• 00:46 - 00:48

  is and doesn't rely upon topics that you hear all

• 00:48 - 00:49

  the time.

• 00:49 - 00:51

  Because for a Ted talk, which is the basis of

• 00:52 - 00:55

  this assignment, it's all about giving the audience new, updated,

• 00:56 - 00:59

  cutting edge information to give them a new understanding of

• 00:59 - 01:01

  something they may know may not have ever heard of

• 01:02 - 01:02

  or know much about.

• 01:03 - 01:05

  Okay, so some of the example topics I have here,

• 01:06 - 01:07

  similar to the ones I cover in the video lecture

• 01:08 - 01:12

  are just things that are new, cutting edge, oftentimes science,

• 01:12 - 01:15

  technology based, sometimes even medical.

• 01:16 - 01:18

  It doesn't have to be one of those ideas you

• 01:18 - 01:20

  could even be, as you'll see here, the foot classroom

• 01:21 - 01:24

  or kind of the new understanding we have of maybe

• 01:24 - 01:25

  teaching arts and schools.

• 01:26 - 01:28

  It's just something that's a new and updated information.

• 01:29 - 01:33

  So potential scientific uses of DNA from the immortal jellyfish

• 01:33 - 01:34

  Okay, really cool.

• 01:34 - 01:35

  One that I cover in my lecture.

• 01:36 - 01:39

  Ah, jellyfish itself regenerates when it dies.

• 01:40 - 01:44

  Second, another one applications and implications of electromagnetic pulse.

• 01:45 - 01:48

  There's now a missile the military uses that sends out

• 01:48 - 01:50

  in the MP that fries all electronics and in a

• 01:50 - 01:54

  specific area that has some interesting pros and cons, different

• 01:55 - 01:57

  strategies and creating a flipped classroom, which is kind of

• 01:57 - 02:01

  like what this is in the online class were before

• 02:01 - 02:06

  class that, you know, the students read the lecture, they

• 02:06 - 02:08

  watched the video and knowing the information and then with

• 02:09 - 02:10

  the class becomes more of a discussion.

• 02:11 - 02:13

  Not so much teacher saying, Here's, you know, here's this.

• 02:13 - 02:16

  Here's this Here's this, uh and then fourth and final

• 02:17 - 02:18

  one of those you were into kind of a social

• 02:19 - 02:19

  media moment.

• 02:19 - 02:22

  We've talked about in class now said changing trends like

• 02:22 - 02:25

  Snapchat filters, instagram stories and moderate social media.

• 02:26 - 02:28

  Okay, so just a bunch of different ideas for you

• 02:28 - 02:31

  to choose all of them are new cutting edge deal

• 02:31 - 02:34

  with topics that have a better kind of importance right

• 02:34 - 02:37

  now. And things that haven't really been covered the 10

• 02:38 - 02:41

  or so years prior to okay, Now for the structure.

• 02:42 - 02:44

  I spent a lot of time going over this in

• 02:44 - 02:44

  the last video.

• 02:45 - 02:48

  So the structure of the informative speech outline is going

• 02:48 - 02:50

  to be the same structure of the speech itself.

• 02:51 - 02:52

  So you're gonna have the three elements to the introduction.

• 02:53 - 02:56

  You're going to have the two sub points for each

• 02:56 - 02:58

  of your main points and then the two elements of

• 02:58 - 02:58

  the conclusion.

• 02:59 - 03:02

  Okay, so make sure that when you are creating your

• 03:02 - 03:05

  outlaw, you recognize that you are creating with the purpose

• 03:06 - 03:08

  of speaking it in that 5 to 6 minute time

• 03:08 - 03:11

  frame. Okay, so that's the key thing you wanna have.

• 03:11 - 03:13

  And this is how it should break down.

• 03:14 - 03:17

  Introduction 30 of 45 seconds.

• 03:18 - 03:22

  Each made point will say about a minute 20 in

• 03:22 - 03:25

  that range, which then gives you about 20 to 30

• 03:25 - 03:26

  seconds for your conclusion.

• 03:27 - 03:29

  If you do all of that, that puts you in

• 03:29 - 03:30

  that five and 1/2 minute range.

• 03:31 - 03:33

  That's a good kind of range to be in because

• 03:33 - 03:35

  it gives you a little bit of time if you

• 03:35 - 03:37

  want to kind of go a little longer on something.

• 03:38 - 03:40

  But it also means that you're not going so short

• 03:40 - 03:41

  that you're under five minutes.

• 03:41 - 03:42

  Okay, so that's the goal.

• 03:43 - 03:45

  Now here's where you may not be used to send

• 03:46 - 03:49

  something like this, and I want to explain this for

• 03:49 - 03:49

  your audience.

• 03:50 - 03:52

  OK, yes, this is an online class in an online

• 03:52 - 03:55

  assignment, but I believe very much so in having a

• 03:56 - 03:59

  physical human presence or your speech regardless of your civilian

• 04:00 - 04:01

  online or I'm bringing it in person.

• 04:03 - 04:06

  You need to have five people in an audience that

• 04:06 - 04:11

  the camera point pans to before the pan back to

• 04:11 - 04:12

  you to start speaking.

• 04:12 - 04:15

  Okay, so essentially what it should look like it is.

• 04:16 - 04:17

  There should be five people who could be in any

• 04:18 - 04:20

  room in your house apartment wherever it may be.

• 04:20 - 04:21

  It could even be at work.

• 04:21 - 04:23

  If you want to get like co workers, that's totally

• 04:23 - 04:26

  fine. You should have turned the camera on it.

• 04:26 - 04:29

  Should pan slowly toe all minimum of five audience members.

• 04:30 - 04:33

  Then whoever's operating the camera should then turn it back

• 04:33 - 04:33

  to you.

• 04:33 - 04:33

  The speaker.

• 04:34 - 04:35

  Then you start your speech.

• 04:36 - 04:39

  Okay? The reason is you want to make sure by

• 04:40 - 04:43

  having as physical audience as well as the camera audience,

• 04:44 - 04:47

  then you're appealing to really the modern day audiences for

• 04:47 - 04:48

  most speeches, right?

• 04:48 - 04:51

  So many of the big speeches we know are not

• 04:51 - 04:51

  just given in person.

• 04:52 - 04:54

  The recorded put on YouTube, things like that.

• 04:55 - 04:57

  So therefore, it's important for people here in this speech

• 04:57 - 05:00

  to learn how to really do that toe.

• 05:00 - 05:04

  Learn that the learn to how to be looking at

• 05:04 - 05:08

  your audience, but recognizing you're also being record okay, references,

• 05:09 - 05:09

  plea goes.

• 05:10 - 05:14

  Please go see my my informal speech outline video to

• 05:14 - 05:17

  talk more about why I require name of source and

• 05:17 - 05:20

  date. Because this is an online speech, you do not

• 05:20 - 05:21

  need visual aids.

• 05:21 - 05:22

  That's kind of hard.

• 05:22 - 05:26

  Logistically toe workout is that's experienced in the past time

• 05:26 - 05:27

  requirement 5 to 6 minutes.

• 05:27 - 05:29

  So I mentioned that before you want to go 30

• 05:30 - 05:33

  to 45 seconds introduction a minute, 20 roughly for each,

• 05:34 - 05:36

  your main points and then, of course, 20 to 30

• 05:36 - 05:37

  seconds for your conclusion.

• 05:38 - 05:41

  Okay, so in terms of recording, here's what I want

• 05:42 - 05:42

  you to do.

• 05:42 - 05:45

  I want you to record this on any device that's

• 05:45 - 05:45

  easiest for you.

• 05:46 - 05:46

  Could be.

• 05:47 - 05:49

  If you happen to have, like, a camera camcorder, good

• 05:50 - 05:50

  for you.

• 05:50 - 05:50

  You can use that.

• 05:51 - 05:53

  If it's just kind of your laptop camera you use

• 05:53 - 05:54

  for Skype for other things.

• 05:55 - 05:55

  That's great.

• 05:56 - 05:58

  If it's your smartphone, which a lot of people use,

• 05:58 - 05:59

  like on your iPhone, turn on the camera.

• 05:59 - 05:59

  That's fine.

• 06:00 - 06:03

  OK, the only thing is, I ask that you you

• 06:04 - 06:07

  attempt to save it to that device and uploaded to

• 06:07 - 06:11

  this submission portal on blackboard in an MP four file.

• 06:12 - 06:14

  The reason is it's easy for it.

• 06:14 - 06:17

  Easiest for me to downloaded watch.

• 06:17 - 06:19

  And it also is the easiest for you to submit

• 06:20 - 06:23

  without there being any submission problems based off the file

• 06:23 - 06:27

  format. Okay, so MP four, if at all possible, okay,

• 06:28 - 06:30

  Now, much like for the outline I have the entire

• 06:31 - 06:33

  tab and on black work holding from informed.

• 06:33 - 06:36

  The speech resource is for you to visit and to

• 06:36 - 06:38

  go through before you even start presenting.

• 06:39 - 06:40

  Because the goal is is for you to watch example,

• 06:41 - 06:44

  speeches to go through example outlines to go through different

• 06:45 - 06:46

  resource is to help you with us.

• 06:47 - 06:48

  Okay, so that's the speech.

• 06:49 - 06:52

  Please make sure you watch the outline video combined with

• 06:52 - 06:52

  this one.

• 06:52 - 06:54

  So that way you know how the points will be

• 06:54 - 06:54

  broken down.

• 06:55 - 06:57

  And what I expect from each it's 50 points for

• 06:57 - 06:58

  the outline.

• 06:58 - 07:00

  125 for the speech itself.

• 07:00 - 07:02

  And the grating rumor is, of course, up for you

• 07:02 - 07:04

  to look at and how this points breakdown.

• 07:05 - 07:06

  Okay. Thank you, everyone.
