My Speech professor assigned three topics to our class which was already divided into three groups. Each group member had to present at least one part of their topic. I was very excited to see what the other group came up with and how good our group was going to do. This time, the presenting dates were mixed up. Group three which was the last one was the first group to present. That was also the group I was in. After us, group one presented, and lastly, group two. We all had very interesting topics that were assigned to us.

Starting with group one, they had “Law and Order Protest-Rallies/Educations” as their assigned topic. That was a very interesting topic since what happened recently here in the United States. People started to riot in the streets and were looting stores, making protests and it looked like a battleground. Also, one funny thing I remember from group one’s presentation was that the first slide they had on said: “Our Elections Matters To Us In Our Democracy” and they presented that on November 3rd, which is election day here in The United States. What a coincidence right? Or was it done on purpose? I also remember our professor noticed that too which is why I remember this. Their subtopics all had one thing in common and it was how to make a peaceful protest. They talked about how to capture the audience's attention, ways that could help you make a better presentation of your topic, how to speak properly when presenting, and how to motivate your audience when your presenting. I think I learned a thing or two thanks to group one’s presentation.

Then group two had Healthcare as their assigned topic. That topic may have been boring if it was done a year ago, but thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic, that topic was very interesting also. They talked about the virus that spread around the world and gave us information on how many people were being infected per day as well as how many people were passing away per day, and those numbers were not small, and compared to other diseases or viruses, COVID-19 was being merciless to the whole world. They then provided information on the requirements to have a healthcare system in the United States and how there are different types of healthcare systems here already. They also talked about how the healthcare system could be improved in the future like strategies for the United States to lower the cost of health care. They explained why it was so expensive too.

Lastly, group three, we were the first ones to present but for the sake of it being “one, two, and three” I left my group to the end of the blog. The topic we had assigned was “Racial Divide and the Pandemic”. Not saying this because it was my group, but we got the hottest topic out of the three. The pandemic that was breaking hell lose around the world and the Black Life Matters movement that happened not too long ago was the thing that most people talked about around these times. Some of us, for example, I had to present both things mixed. For example, I had to present “Disadvantages of Covid-19 Treatment In Regard To Race”. It was very easy to explain because there were so many sources where you could see why that was happening. The media was all about Covid-19 and the racial divide around that time.

  BLOG #2 For this second project I was actually really excited to be able to learn about the different theme presentations there was going to be. Each group was responsible for two different topics, both of which had to do with certain world problems. Our professor gave each group really well thought out themes, ones in which we would actually have to do some research and learn about in order to know what we were actually talking about, as well as to correctly inform those who would be listening. The first group was responsible for two great topics: Education, and Law and Order which included an emphasis on protests and rallies as well. The first group definitely did an amazing job with their presentation. It was set up very organized and the way they discussed the topics was intense. They used a range of information and also used a lot of pathos in order to provide emotion to those who were listening, which allowed everyone to view things with an open heart. Some of those who pre...

For the second speech project, my classmates and I had to speak on two topics that we are currently facing in the world. Each group had different subject matters: Group one had education, and law and order. Group two had health insurance and immigration. Lastly, group three, which is the group i was in, had the pandemic and racial divide. Each of these concepts played their own part in 2020 and continue to be an issue at this very moment. It was actually a very intriguing project and our professor explained it to us in an easily understood fashion. She was precise and told us exactly what she wanted and what she expected. All of the groups did an amazing job and explained each subject effectively.  Let’s talk about each group individually. Group ones’ topics are very important today and this group knew what they were talking about. You can tell that they did their research on the material. The presentation was nicely organized too. They mostly tried using emotion to deliver their a...

 Our Professor assigned our class on some key topics that are very important and even controversial, we had 3 groups and each group was assigned 2 topics. Starting with group 1, they had Education as well as Law and order where they talked about the protest and the importance of educating the public. They had a well organized power point that showed every ones cooperation and the leader's organization. Their information was very diverse and it was put in the right places, examples being putting information that can be very sensitive when talking about the riots, and putting the statistics in places to catch the audience with the information. Overall, they did a great job. Then group 2 went up next where the talked about healthcare and immigration this one was my favorite because it talked about the healthcare system. Since it is the field I will be going into and Covid has been very impactful to the healthcare system, they showed good statistics and that's what I enjoyed about ...
