Speech notes

From hobo Keegan AGAIN!!! Steven should do this instead of me, but I actually wrote the notes.

-Poor delivery but good speech = 13 or 14 out of 20
-Know what you are saying.
-Practice what you are going to say.
-HELP EACH OTHER
-Make sure techniques convey content that gives meaning
-Finish four days before (should of posted this eariler ><)
-TYPE IT!!!!
-Think about orginality and appeal. PURPOSE!?!?!?!
-NOT AN ESSAY ITS A SPEECH
-KNOW your audience, REMEMBER your audience, TALK TO your audience
-INTRODUCTION AND CONCLUSION ARE VERY IMPORTANT
-Make sure your conclusion links to your introduction
-You can use a quote to start and end a speech BUT make sure they are in BOTH
-Make sure the quote is relevant
-YOUR audience are IDIOTS
-Every time you speech, it is NOT the same but it will still have the same STRUCTURE
-Your speech does not have to be exactly like your transcript
-Do not change your speech too much compare to your transcript, PARAGRAPH=NO, Senctence=YES
-USE BLOODY INCLUSIVE NOUNS!!!!!
-Palm care = HAND CARDS
-Cardboard behind paper is a good idea (don't be like me and use waste paper :P)
-NUMBERED
-Try to use only dot points (too advance and late for that)
-Highlight keywords to be EMPHASISED
-When you present your speech, HIGHLIGHTED words may be the only thing you remember
-ADD a colour card or something to remind you to do something (LOOK UP MORE, SPEECH SLOWER, SAY NOT READ etc.)
-Enthusiasm is a MUST (be happy when you speak =p)
-FEEL passionate about what you are saying (CONFIDENCE)
-Don't write something you think is funny or exciting but it isn't (JOKES) unless you are funny
-REMEMBER PACE, TONE, VOLUME <---- Vary them
-SERIOUS=SLOW EXCITED=FAST
-Control your audience, Play your audience, use [pause]s
-PAUSES let your audience be absorbed into it
-Your audience are your friend, they want you to do well (WORKED IN YEAR 11 when we actually had friends in the midst of everything >< teachers as friends................ hmm)
-Cards in ONE hand, two hands look like a wall or barrier
-BE NATURAL
-NO PROPS
-START with only LADIES AND GENTLEMEN
-NEVER end with THANK YOU
-FINSIH without FADING into your seat, STAND FIRM for a few seconds before leaving
-STAY FOCUS
-LOOK AT EVERYONE (ie both teachers)
-Your EYE CONTACT needs to be natural (used to be looking around the room but since we only have two teachers as an audience)
-EYEBALL those who aren't listening (would be funny against SPROULE OR KEENGAN :P)
-EYEBALL SPROULE OR KEENGAN IF YOU HAVE THEM
-The tip above is a joke :P
-LEGS are shoulder width apart
-You CAN move a bit... LIKE YOUR KNEES

MY TIPS ;)
-Never move your feet... shuffling of feet shows you are scared...
-You must look at the audience when you pause
-Look at audience when you finish
-Look at audience when you talking, When you finish your sentence, then you look down, BETTER EFFECT, just do it most of the time
-FACIAL EXPRESSION <----- BUT be NATURAL
-LEAVE AN EMOTIONAL IMPACT
-INCLUSIVE language EVERY paragraph at LEAST

HEY I GOT 20/20 for my speech last year and these helped

HOPE ITS NOT TOO LATE, most of these WILL help your delivery instead :P you should be finished by NOW :P

PEACE AND GOD BLESS

Creative Writing

(These notes are from keegan in those afternoon thingy... thought i put my notes up)


-WORTH A LOT
-Prepare a scenario and NOT A STORY

-Scenarios are:
-Adaptations (many scenes and context(maybe? depends on your story)) <---- MAIN POINT!!!!
-told from any view point (could be my uncle taking about me etc.)
-told by anyone (like above)
-start at any point (could be jumping off the cliff, halfway falling etc.)
-Any text types (teachers are fine with just story if its creative, others are more interesting)
-Never write anything like discriminatory or prejudiceable (is that even a word ><) don't write personal things chances are you might need counselling... (eg. Drugs or Rape or hatred to white people etc.)
-Have handy similiar words (belonging is boring!!! Link, connection, join, isolate, disintergrate are much more interesting.
-Don't write about stuff you haven't experienced... LIKE TERRORISM LOL
-You have to do something unique (like falling off a cliff JOKES.... i dont know you think)
-Never get your idea from SECTION 1 or take stuff from SECTION 1 basically STAY AWAY from SECTION 1
-Key phrases or catch phrases (like: 'hey we are busy right now, i'll give it to you tomorrow ;])
-Reflecting comment at the end (And Chris enjoyed the company of many fat moles)
-Be adaptable + Reflexable (Drugs on a isolated island isn't reflexable or adaptable)
-Leave readers with emotional experience


LAST BLURP (kekekeke) -Emo <--- I mean be emotional
-Be interesting (not you the story)
-Be believeable (not you the story)
-Use your experience
-No angst (not you the story)
-Level of language appropriate (articulate and intelligent)
-SHOW DON'T TELL
-Time limit
- keep it like a day seriously... teachers don't have time for you lifestory
-Focus- avoid useless information (i don't care if your firmware for you psp is 3.7 or 3.71 what matters is you are playing your psp by yourself)
-Tell marker what you are doing (?) <--- i don't get this one :P
-ALWAYS WRITE IN THRID PERSON

[edit] From Sproule: your work needs structure, a story that rambles will get you a D or E seriously... remember orientation->complication->series of events->resolution

Orientation: time, place, setting, characters, who, where, when
(e.g The old house slump into the earth. Covered by a heavy mass of grass. The house screams as it sways with the chilly wind. The smell of plants from the front lawn spreads into the night sky. The smell of decaying fruit, the smell of rotten flowers that is unbearable to anyone. However, a very small yet bright light prods through the covering of trees. Suddenly, the whole area is filled with delicious pork. The kind that melts in your mouth as you bite into it. Then the screaming of the house is drowned out by the laughing of a family. One mother, one father, a son and a grandpa)<--- See you know its night time, its a house, you have a family, you have setting that appeals to your sense. Maybe I needed to add the who bit more but you get the idea... (WE DID THIS IN CLASS :P, this is practice for me)

Complication: Not fitting in, Isolation, Acceptance, Exclusion
(e.g. Bob turned on the television. The buzzing sound from the television overwelmed Bob's ears reminding of the old days. 'Patrick, Patrick...' the television whipers. Bob could not bear it. The shavers reminded him of Patrick. The hairdryer and its soft and warm heat entered Bob's skin, reminding him of the hardship he had with Patrick. The fan, crying with Bob as he remembers the days spent with Patrick. 'Oh, if only you were here,' Bob cried loudly as he turned off the television that he spent so much time with Patrick. Then the room fell silent as the television turned off. Everything fell quiet. Suddenly the metal door slidded open.)

Series of event: Write about ONE event. It may have 2-3 sections/paragraphs within them (best if its sections because sections could = 1-2 paragraphs :])
(e.g. grandfather not belonging with son-> dinner table is quiet-> son is working on HSC-> language barrier-> days before grandfather returns to HK, they watch a soccer match together)

Resolution: reflection, growth, learning, change
(e.g. Jan's dad and son echoed the fans chant, absorbed in their soccer game. Crying with the fans, laughing with the fans. Together. These days will never be remembered by Jan. Jan can never re-live the days when her son looked so happy with her dad. She can never re-live the time when the language barrier was crushed by a simple and insignificant soccer game. She can never live that moment again.)

ONE MORE-Topics- celebrations, family, sport, relationships, holidays, commenmeration, job... many more)

Wow i wrote a lot :P (all story are my own story -_- no stealing)



P.s my side note, practice at least once every two days and everyday until exams :)

First post... MY CRAPPY TIPS

First post ><

Okay firstly, my rule of studying is always looking at your syllabus dot points. Goes without saying but handy yeah.

Next practice paper questions... A lot of them... Like seriously... like 100x

[edit] Oh and bored of studies :) forgot them :)

I know the above isn't that useful but I'll wanted quote from Mr. GEE (baby baby baby)

'Don't SAVE'

Basically share notes and past papers...

I have a nice handy pile of physics and chem and 4U, that my parents brought. Anyone wants me to photocopy some questions. Especially 4U (I'm going thru on to check answers... I'll print out copy for our whole group doing 4U)


Oh Batehup, I'll will post some notes on Standard :)
