Speech Exercise: Belief Sentences
The purpose of this exercise is to practice conveying meaning through expression in your speech, so once again, you are going to be saying these sentences in different ways.

First, say the sentence out loud as you would if you truly believed the statement.

Then say the same sentence out loud as you would if you didn’t believe what you were saying and wanted to convey your disbelief to your listener.

You’ll never regret buying one of these.

Pollution is the term used to describe toxins in our environment
Background-Context-Stakeholders
Industrial pollution has been regulated more than in the past but is still a huge problem for children and future generations.
Rhetorical Questioning: 
How can the consequences of pollution be balanced with the needs of developing countries such as China?
A rhetorical question should not be simplistic or phrased so that the only answer is in favor of your opinion such as: Don't you hate pollution? or
Who would want to live in a world surrounded by heaps of garbage and poor quality air?
Personal Appeal: Human beings are emotional; establish common ground that your audience can relate to.  This is also known as empathy.
We all want a cleaner world for our generation and for future generations.  Everyone should have the right to be born into a clean world
Facts / Common Knowledge
There are 4 major types of pollution
Data / Statistic
Out of 30 students interviewed, 28 reported seeing garbage all over the schoolyard when they come back from the weekend
Example
For example, the weather in Florida never used to get below 30 degrees. Now, it is usual for them to experience temperatures in the teens!
Small Story/Anecdote
One time when I went swimming in the ocean, I couldn't paddle two feet without touching a piece of garbage floating around me
Quotes (Direct or indirect) from authorities or primary/secondary sources
Michael Osmond, Director of the Centers for Disease Control, reports, "Pollution spreading is an extremely critical issue that must be addressed by policy makers and the general public in order to get it under control."
Line of Reasoning: Flow of Logic: If A equals B, and B equals C, then A must equal C.  If the statements in your equation are true, then your conclusion must be true as well. Also works well for "if... then..." statements
If every school in America agreed to stop producing paper-based fliers and went green with online fliers instead, we would reduce our carbon footprint by 30%
Concession: Acknowledge opposing points of view and offer your rebuttal
While some people believe that pollution is only a problem for those living in major cities, they are inaccurate.  Pollution spreads far beyond the invisible boundaries that outline our cities and metropolitan areas. 
Response / Reaction / Opinion
In my experience, many students find recycling to be an afterthought - not necessarily a critical issue.

3.     In order to enhance my communication skills, I am willing to receive constructive feedback in front of my fellow class members.
4.     I won’t take it personally when I receive criticism of my communication skills.
5.     I am willing to give others feedback that will allow my colleagues to improve their communication skills.
6.     I think it is important to keep my commitments to fellow group members.
7.     I believe it is important to fully discuss the responsibilities of all group members.
8.     If I can’t keep a commitment, I should inform my fellow group members ahead of time.
9.     I believe it is important to hold all group members accountable for their stated commitments.
10.  I want to learn by working through communication problems, rather than the professor telling me all the answers.
11.  Developing my critical thinking skills is just as important as developing my communication skills.
12.  I’m comfortable with a professor who equivocates (hedges or uses ambiguous language) on occasion especially when providing feedback.
13.  Effective communication involves both repressing certain thoughts, feelings and intuitions as well as expressing certain goal-driven messages.
14.  Sometimes what a communicator chooses not to say is just as important as what he or she does say.
15.  I believe it is important to demonstrate my oral, written and visual communication competencies in this class.

Richard Feloni Dec. 4, 2014, 12:15 PM
Start becoming a better speaker by first figuring out which of the six types of presenters you are.

It's a fundamental mistake to see presenting advice as one-size-fits-all.

Presenters naturally have different ways of prioritizing words, pictures, and structure, and that these tendencies result in six distinct kinds of presenters.

Play to your strengths and correct for the accompanying weaknesses.

The Coach

Priorities: Pictures, Words, Structure
Strengths: Coaches win over an audience with their passion and energy. They're great at role-playing and interacting with their audience. "They are very animated speakers, pacing and gesturing," McMahon says, referring to the way they are able to communicate their own experiences.
Weaknesses: Coaches may be so enthusiastic that they move too quickly for their audience, not giving them time to absorb ideas. They can also become wrapped up in their energy for a subject and get lost in tangents.
To avoid these problems, McMahon advises these types of presenters to prepare by focusing on two or three concrete messages they would like to impart so that they stay on track. He says he's seen coaches keep a "cheat sheet" with these messages to keep them at the forefront of their mind. It's necessary for coaches to be aware of the fact that they're on a different level from their audience in terms of both energy and knowledge of a particular subject.

The Inventor

Priorities: Pictures, Structure, Words
Strengths: Inventors are great at building a slideshow for a presentation because they understand how a thesis should be presented and then explained. They'll start with some points they'd like to hit and then construct an arrangement around them. They are usually most comfortable in a Q&A following a presentation because it allows them to express themselves while freed from the constraints of a performance.
Weaknesses: They aren't naturally comfortable presenting. The worst thing inventors can try to do is commit a script to memory because they become anxious over remembering little details and just the right words.
Instead, they're best off using slides as "stepping stones," with cues for how they need to proceed. These cues can be brief notes or images that trigger ideas and require that the speaker only quickly glance at a slide rather than falling into a trap of reading text in front of their audience, putting them to sleep.

The Counselor

Priorities: Words, Structure, Pictures
Strengths: Counselors are eloquent and confident speakers. They're logical and easy to follow.
Weaknesses: As "words people," counselors have a tendency to become "very dry and clinical," McMahon says.
He tells his clients of this type to consciously insert anecdotes into their presentations, allowing them to use their gift of eloquence to engage their audience on a human level.

The Storyteller

Priorities: Words, Pictures, Structure
Strengths: Storytellers "speak with feeling and rhythm" and have no problem winning over an audience with visceral and entertaining stories.
Weaknesses: McMahon says that one of his former clients who presented this way was the CEO of a global advertising organization and was naturally comfortable onstage. McMahon remembers a particular event when, after the speech, he asked audience members what they thought of it and what the purpose of the speech was; everyone said they loved listening to the exec's stories, but no one really knew what he was getting at.
This is because storytellers need to develop a presentation that serves as a logical "map" that guides them through a particular thesis. They should leave space in between guiding slides to share anecdotes.

The Teacher

Priorities: Structure, Words, Pictures
Strengths: Teachers excel at explaining complex ideas in logical steps. They are so careful about the construction of their presentations that they can memorize large blocks of information.
Weaknesses: Teachers can become so focused on their ideas and slides that they ignore their audience. "They can practice in an empty room and then present in front of 500 people and sound exactly the same," McMahon says.
Teachers can avoid becoming too dull by adding simple, attractive visuals to their slideshows, as well as some humor. McMahon says that a New York economics professor he works with has developed an effective style where he inserts funny comics into his presentations that are related to his subject matter, letting them stand on their own, so that his students' eyes don't glaze over.

The Producer

Priorities: Structure, Pictures, Words
Strengths: These types of presenters can create a meticulous, well-structured presentation from beginning to end. They excel at determining how the "meat" of their presentation will unfold. They're "producers" because they like to work behind the scenes.
Weaknesses: Though their slideshow or written speech may be excellent, they have a tendency to freeze and stumble through their presentation because they're not comfortable thinking spontaneously in front of a group of people.
Producers can build confidence by rehearsing a hook for the beginning of their presentation that grabs the audience's attention, and then maintain that attention by inserting some rhetorical questions. McMahon says that producers should choose talking points over large blocks of text, but build in as many cues as possible into the presentation to avoid anxiety of having to improvise.

Low quality output and failure to improve is most often brought about by a lack of dedication. Lack of dedication is also probably the most common reason for lack of success in completing a PhD.
  
Additional reasons for not completing a PhD include the following: 

•  Lack of planning and organisation 
•  Failure to address the question 
•  Inability to convince the reader (bad arguments/evidence) 
•  Inability to integrate information and supporting evidence 
•  Invalid or unreliable data 
•  Lack of knowledge (not “up to date”) 
•  Superficial or shallow treatment of range of issues 
•  Thin literature review (not enough material covered) 
•  Overly selective literature review 
•  Inability to identify a gap in research 

There are also minimum standards of acceptable theses (without which the thesis will  definitely fail): 
•  Correct format, style, references and language 
•  Presentation 
•  Correct use of referenced materials 
•  A degree of originality

One Event: Three Frames, Three Solutions

Consider the following three different versions of one news story:

  1. "An infant left sleeping in his crib was bitten repeatedly by rats while his 16-year-old mother went to cash her welfare check." 
  2. "An eight-month-old South End boy was treated yesterday after being bitten by rats while sleeping in his crib. Tenants said that repeated requests for extermination had been ignored by the landlord. He claimed that the tenants did not properly dispose of their garbage."
  3. "Rats bit eight-month old Michael Burns five times yesterday as he napped in his crib. Burns is the latest victim of a rat epidemic plaguing inner-city neighborhoods. A Public Health Department spokesperson explained that federal and state cutbacks forced short-staffing at rat control and housing inspection programs."

Lipton W. J., 1998: The Science Editor’s Soapbox: An Aid for Writers of Scientific and Technical Reports. 93 pp. ISBN 0966301102


Consider these creative strategies for crafting more desireable titles:

1. Copy out of your draft a sentence that could serve as a title.
2. Write a sentence that's not in the draft to use as a title.
3. Write a title that is a question beginning with What, Who, When, or Where.
4. Write a title that is a question beginning with How or Why.
5. Write a title that is a question beginning with Is/Are, Do/Does, or Will.
6. Pick out of the essay some concrete image—something the reader can hear, see, taste, smell, or feel—to use as a title.
7. Pick another concrete image out of the essay. Look for an image that is a bit unusual or surprising.
8. Write a title beginning with an -ing verb (like “Creating a Good Title”).
9. Write a title beginning with On (like “On the Titles of Essays”).
10.Write a title that is a lie about the essay. (You probably won't use this one, but it might stimulate your thinking.)
11.Write a one-word title—the most obvious one possible.
12.Write a less obvious one-word title.
13.Write a two-word title.
14.Write a three-word title.
15.Write a four-word title.
16.Write a five-word title.
17.Think of a familiar saying, or the title of a book, song, or movie, that might fit your essay.
18.Take the title you just wrote and twist it by changing a word or creating a pun (word joke) on it.
19.Do the same with another saying or title of a book, song, or movie.
20.Find two titles you've written so far that you might use together in a double title. Join them together with a colon [ : ].
