Curso 1 de 4 em Specialization Dynamic Public Speaking

This course gives you a reliable model for preparing and delivering effective presentations. In business, in school, and in public life, we are often called upon to “make a few comments.” Often, people tasked with such speeches become flummoxed. They might not know what to talk about, or ramble without making a point, or simply be confusing to listen to. This course is designed to help you shine where others falter. We’ll learn how organize talks clearly, write them memorably, and deliver them confidently. By the end of the course, you should be able to significantly reduce your fear of public speaking, use rehearsal techniques to develop a strong, vibrant speaking voice, and perform speeches with dynamic movement and gestures. The speech model that we’ll practice is useful for briefings, elevator talks, interviews, and even as a structure for hour-long presentations. If you’re a beginner, this course will help you quickly master the fundamentals of speaking. If you’re a seasoned speaker, this course will help you better understand public speaking and push you to the next level.

Week 2: Making ideas compelling and memorable

Now that we have the course foundation out of the way, we can work on our basic speech model: the key point speech. I love this format. It's the Swiss army knife of speeches. This basic model works in interviews, short presentations, elevator talks, and can even structure an hour long presentation. After overviewing the assignment, we’ll talk about how to plan out your speeches. By the end of the week, you should have some tools for quickly putting together short presentations. You can practice this by analyzing some speeches.

In skills training, rubrics are important.

Now, a rubric's just a set of criteria for judging a performance.

It gives us insight into what distinguishes a great speaker from a good

speaker from a below-average speaker.

And as a teacher, I would say that rubrics are really at the core of what I do.

So, in this video I want to talk about the three benefits of rubrics and then

walk through the rubric we're going to be using for the key point speech.

So to begin with, what are some of the benefits of rubrics?

Well, first, rubrics reflect course aims.

So, in designing this course, and designing any course, I start with skills.

What should students be able to do by the end of the course?

Now you can see all the goals for this course on the website.

For example one is to students should be able to write clear and

concise key points.

So that's a course goal that shows up in the rubric itself.

Second, rubrics guide practice.

So rubrics, and of course instruction, should help you know what to do.

But they should also help you know what it looks like when that thing is done well

and when it's done poorly.

So for example, if my goal is for students to be able to write clear and

concise key points, then I design lessons that show here's what that looks like when

it's done well, here's what that looks like when it's not done so well.

And then you get to apply these criteria to your own performance.

And then finally rubrics can sharpen criticism.

So, the criteria for the key point speech rubric really they applied the most

speeches, and once you have the general sense for this evaluative criteria,

you can make better judgments about your own speeches and the speeches of others.

So, that's kind of the benefits of rubrics.

Now, let's walk through the Rubric will be using for the Key Point Speech.

And again, every item on here reflects good speaking habits, but

it also reflects what we're going to be doing in class.

And this rubric is built on the rhetorical canons.

So we're going to evaluate the speech in terms of invention, arrangement, style,

memory and delivery.

So first up Invention,

with invention we're concern with the content of the speech.

So we start of with questions like did the speaker include and

explain appropriate main points that clarified the speech topic.

So in essence, were there some points in there that weren't,

that should have been in there.

Whether some points that needed to be in there that weren't,

then we can talk about support.

How was it, could you see how the support related to the main points?

Was there a passage that was maybe a little confusing,

was there something that needed more description?

Then we can get to Arrangement,

did the speaker arrange the speech elements appropriately?

So did the main points really go together well,

did the speaker orally highlight speech structure?

How were the previews, reviews, and transitions?

Basically how easy was it for you, as a listener to follow along with the speech.

Was did everything make sense, or by the time you come to the end,

you're like, surprise, you're done, I didn't see that coming.

That's not what we want to happen.

So then after arrangement we can talk about Style,

did the speaker phrase the main points clearly and concisely, or

the phrases may be too long or they're confusing?

Did the speaker discuss the support well?

Did the speaker get into the details of the example quickly or

were there some examples that were discussed in an unclear way?

And then finally we can talk about Delivery.

Did the speaker appear confident and animated?

That's tough to perform, but it's pretty important.

How was the breathing and projection?

These are on video, but you can still hear someone retaining too much air and

not breathing properly.

We can talk about pitch and rate.

Was the speaker providing important prosodic cues to help you

understand the content easily, or was the speech kind of little bit more monotone?

How was the note use?

This for us is kind of where we're get in to the memory part of this assignment.

So did the speaker seem to know the speech deeply.

And no matter what type of notes are you using.

With those notes is well or did they kind of get no way of the delivery.

How was the movement in gesturing.

Were there some distracting movements or

were there some things that you just brought up with brilliant, and

you gestured on the fourth point, it brought tears to my eyes, beautiful.

And then finally, we can talk about did the speaker deliver a speech that was of

an appropriate length.

And, having time limits is important in a speech class,

because it demands that you make choices.

What are you going to include, and what are you going to exclude?

How often did you practice it to get it smooth and within time?

So in sum, rubrics are important to teaching and learning.

They can help us investigate a skill like speech much more closely.

This rubric is our map to this course and

it's certainly a general guide to better speaking.
