...Title: Disney: The Wonderful World | Specific purpose: To inform my audience on how Disney became so successful and why it is important to keep the joy alive. | I. Introduction | A. Attention Material: What comes to mind when you think of Disney? We associate Disney with large theme parks full of attractions and stores, along with restaurants’ and other exciting things, and big blowouts on holidays like (Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Year’s) or special occasions. The very first theme park was opened in California in 1955. The reasoning for the theme park to be opened there was because Walt Disney wanted to build something that would bring back the history of what he remembered as a child to preserve the way he saw it. (http://www.justdisney.com/walt_disney/biography/w_bio_short.html). | B. Tie to the audience: I’m sure that all of us at some point have wished to go to Disney for some reason or another. And with this it opens up the topic of conversation for childhood dreams and fun times for family memories. Disney Land and World have been known as the place to make dreams come true, this would be the time to draw the audience in with my hopes and dreams of going and what happened when I did. And to ask them for their experiences and how they reacted when they got to go for the first time. What could be more special than to give someone you love a Dream come true as a gift? | C. Credibility material: Four years ago, I received my very first reservation ticket for...

...My overall impression on my speech was better than I anticipated. I was very nervous and anxious to get the speech over. I could tell that in the pace of my speech. I was rushing through it and at times it was hard for me to keep track of my place on the outline. I thought I gave good eye contact and I stayed on the speech path, but I could have projected my voice more so that it would have been easier to hear and understand what I was saying. I felt that the delivery was good but I could have moved around more and gave more hand gestures to keep my speech alive. Although I didn’t feel it was a boring speech, I feel like I still tell showed how nervous I really was by the body chemistry I gave off. I prepared a lot for the speech and I went over the speech 3 times in front of the camera at home. I think this helped me a great deal because I had full knowledge of what my speech was about. Because I was nervous and rushing through my speech I often lost my place on my outline, but was able to wing it because I had practiced. It helped a lot that I did my speech on a topic that I am very familiar with and used to talking about. I also used the technique in the chapter that tells you that when you are nervous take a deep breath and use a focus word, mine was “Money”. This technique helped me a great deal in the beginning because I actually felt overwhelmed and on the verge of an anxiety attack. Using this technique calmed me down and made me able to deliver my speech. ...

...PROCEDURE FOR WRITING A TERM PAPE A term (or research) paper is primarily a record of intelligent reading in several sources on a particular subject. The task of writing such is not as formidable as it seems if it is thought out in advance as a definite procedure with systematic perpetration. The procedure for writing such a report consists of the following steps: 1. Choosing a subject 2. Finding sources of materials 3. Gathering the notes 4. Outlining the paper 5. Writing the first draft 6. Editing the paper Now let's look at each of them. CHOOSING A SUBJECT Most good papers are built around questions. You can find subjects in any textbook. Simply take some part of the text that interest you and examine it carefully. Ask yourself the following things about it to see if you can locate a question to answer in your paper. Does it tell you all you might wish to learn about the subject? Are you sure it is accurate? Does the author make any assumptions that need examining? Can two of the more interesting sections in the text be shown to be interrelated in some useful way? Your paper is an attempt to write a well-organized answer to whatever question you decide upon, using facts for the purpose of proving (or at least supporting) your contention. The most common error made by students in choosing a subject for a term paper is to choose one that is too general. (The most specific subject will always have enough aspects to furnish a long paper, if you think...

...websites, before choosing one that I deemed credible. Aaron started the outline, and we all agreed to turn in our assigned sections of the outline. However, Michael informed us he would not be attending class, so we had to complete his section. We decided to post our portions of the presentation to OLS. On Monday I posted all of my information, and added all information and the outline. Aaron added the conclusion and posted all of the work between the both of us. We put the information together even though our third person quit. I think our presentation would have been better if we would have known sooner that Michael would not be a part of the project. Aaron and I didn’t have the opportunity to meet and go over our presentation together. Aaron works nights, making it hard for him to meet during the day. Alternatively, we decided to post our work to OLS, in order to modify our work together. I posted all of my slides on Sunday night, and Aaron reviewed them. He also added pictures and created the quiz, and then added some pictures to the slide. After, I looked over our work and increased the amount of questions we had for the quiz, along with additional pictures for the slides. Aaron looked it over one last time, then proceeded to post our outline and PowerPoint. The ouline was not very difficult to create, as we just restructured the information on our slides into a condensed format better suited for an outline.

...material to work with, start outlining your speech. Use brief sentences to write out an introduction, a thesis, two main points, and a conclusion. Your thesis (and therefore, your speech) should address the following question: what kind of person is my classmate? Think about two qualities or attributes that describe your partner. Your classmate could be someone like: a sports fan, a musical talent, an outdoorsman, a car enthusiast, a spontaneous free spirit, or anything else that comes to mind. Be creative! 3. Once your full-sentence outline is completed, you can start rehearsing your speech. Be sure that your speech is not written out word-for-word; for extemporaneous speaking, you want your outline to be as concise as possible so that you can develop a more conversational style of delivery. 4. As you rehearse your speech, you should make adjustments and changes. If you’re confident enough, condense your full sentence outline into a speaking outline, such that it includes only your basic speech structure and key phrases and details....

...Personnel Personnel are one of the factors that are considered when selecting an explosion suppression system. Two considerations are the proximity of personnel to the protected equipment, and the risk of personnel exposure to the suppression agent selected. In order to understand how personnel can be affected by explosion suppression systems, and why personnel are a factor when considering an explosion suppression system, you must first understand what makes up an explosion suppression system and how it functions. Explosion suppression systems are comprised of a cylinder containing the suppressing agent, a detection system, and control circuitry. During the incipient stages of a deflagration, the detection system triggers the cylinder to release the suppressing agent into the protected system or vessel, suppressing the deflagration. It is important to note that explosion suppression systems are intended to protect vessels or other enclosed areas in which over-pressurization is the primary concern. When the pressure is released in these systems, it is also important to ensure that personnel are not within the proximity of area in which the pressure increases (FM Approvals, 1999). The agent selected for explosion protection is another important factor when considering an explosion protection system. There are three agents most commonly used, and they may have different effects on personnel if they come into contact with the substances when the system is activated (Gagnon...

...However, as I’m coming close to the end of my college career I realized I was wrong. Nonetheless, looking at my freshman essay now, I do see how I’ve grown within these past for years. Within my freshman year, I realized didn’t take the time to actually analyze my topic to where I could have understand it more. Therefore, it didn’t come out the way that I’ve envisioned it to be. The topic of evil is a widespread and extensive topic. If I was to approach this topic now, I would have done more extensive research on the nature of evil. This would have made me more knowledgeable about the topic at hand and helped me determine how to start this paper. In addition, before beginning this essay, I should have created an outline to help guide me throughout my paper. The outline would have given me the opportunity go through the research that I’ve gathered and helped to be more critical on how I wanted to present evil and it’s different levels. Doing this would have help me to develop this essay within a more critical and organize matter. While reading my freshman essay, I find myself coming up with more ideas of how I could have develop my point of view of the branches of evil, hence making an stronger argument. For example, I should have went into more deal of the ways evil is view within religion and our society. By doing this, it would have gave a more insight to the reader of how the paper is developing. This also would have given the reader an additional understanding of what evil...
