Reflection

In the summer while I was deciding which classes to take, I needed help and guidance. My dad advised me to take thr class public speaking as he took it in college. His public speaking experience was great, he said he learned a lot from this class. He learned to be more open, not shy, and the basic aspects of speaking. He said without a doubt I should take this class as it will help me in the future. So without any more thinking I knew which class I would be taking. After long guidance and help, I decided and knew I had to take this class. Coming into school, this was probably one of the classes I was unsure and not looking forward too. Without a doubt this is one of my favorite classes and a class I began to like. First day of school started off well. Once it was time for  public speaking, I was nervous and did not know what to expect. The first week, was not that great. It was boring and we didn't really learn anything. We did unnecessary stuff and things that just didn't amuse anyone. We just did stuff that was irrelevant. After we overcame the beginning we started to learn about voices and projection. I knew I was outgoing and I thought I was good at speaking. We ended up taking videos of me speaking. It was crazy how bad I was at speaking. I kept repeating myself and I never knew I say um a lot. This took many multiple speeches before I corrected myself. Correcting yourself speak is very difficult, because you don't realize it. The other members of this class were jokes, but they were great help. They really showed me who I was and what I needed to work and improve on. It really opened my eyes. There are many things that I didn't know I did that were eye dropping to me. After learning about projection on our voices, we moved on about debates. There are many skills about debates that I had no idea. Such as, refuting, good questions, good responses. The biggest skill I think that helped me was the ability to refute. Refuting is always a key but doing it in the proper way. The first debate was to th and unorganized, we learned from our mistakes and did it better next time. The 2nd debate was better. We were organized and had a lot better structure. After learning about debates, we started our final projects. Our final project was our senior speeches. Not being a senior I decided to use this opportunity and have some fun with it. I put all the aspects I learned and put them to the task. The final speech definetly took me a while to write and plan. I believe as well as my classmate believe I have improved tremendously. This class has taught me so many things. I will use and used all the task many times in my life. One thing you do is talk a lot throughout the day, you can either be good at it or bad it's your choice. If you want to be good at it, I'd encourage everyone to enroll and take this class

Rough draft

Why do people chew gum? Chewing without eating seems like such a weird habit, And yet, people have been chewing gum for thousands of years, ever since the ancient Greeks began popping wads of mastic tree resin in their mouth to sweeten the breathe. 
As many schools don't allow kids to chew gum during school, there are multiple reasons why you should be able too. Gum is an effective booster of mental performance, conferring all sorts of benefits without any side effects. St Lawerence university, did a study with 159 students. Half of the students were given gum to che won, the other weren't. The results were crazy. The students chewing gum outperformed the students not chewing gum in five out of six tests. 

While previous studies achieved similar results chewing gum is often a better test aid than caffeine  as caffeine is addictive and hurts your body throughout the day. Caffeine is a drug This latest research investigated the time course of the gum advantage. It turns out to be rather short lived, as gum chewers only showed an increase in performance during the first 20 minutes of testing. After that, they performed identically The same. 

For me chewing gum takes my mind of thins. As studies shows it does help you and your well being, I believe students and athletes should be able to chew gum whenever. 

The benefits of chewing gum while playing sports go beyond simply increasing the body’s response time. gum chewing increases levels of activity in the brain, particularly the cortex, which enables a higher level of concentration. Chewing gum also decreases adrenaline, which reduces stress and factors that also contribute to enhanced performance. Being an athlete I would want all of these advantages, there is no negative factor, as I'm sure you guys being athletes would want the same. 

The act of chewing, in other words, wakes us up, ensuring that we are fully focused on the task at hand. Unfortunately, this boost is fleeting. The takeaway of this research is straightforward: When taking a test, save the gum for the hardest part, or for those questions when you feel your focus flagging. The gum will help you concentrate, but the help won’t last long.

Given the power of gum, it seems a little silly that we don’t allow it in the classroom.f course, gum is disgusting and unsightly once it becomes trash, but it also appears to be a wonderful stimulant, allowing us to benefit from the attentional boost of eating without having to swallow or ingest calories. 
I encourage you students to start a petition and get our school to support us and stand by our side as gum helps us, and does not in any way hurt us.
Next time you are taking a test, pop a piece of gum in your mouth to get your maximum concentration.

Reflection

I think that to make a good speech, you'd have to make it funny and entertaining. Don't do what everyone does, step outside the box and be creative.  Make it fun, do the things that no one else would do, make people remember you for good reasons. You should have people be like wow, that speech was great.
Things that make this i believe speeches bad is, repeating yourself. Not being creative and not attracting the reader. Don't start off boring, start of nice and fast. And grab the readers attention right off the hop. Don't wait or delay.with this speech I feel like I have Improved tremendously. For this I believe speech I thought this was going to be hard and boring. This class has taught me a lot. With all the things this class has taught me, such as stating a point, eye contact, no ups, and many more. I feel like I can preform these things I can accomplish with this speech.
The things I can improve on with this speech would be, making my conclusion better and stronger. I sliver I have a great middle body and a great facts. I think adding facts and showing colleges and studies make my speech a little different then other I believe that I just need to tie in how it affects me and my conclusion. If I work on these tasks I will be able to ge a good grade and get this done with.

Throughout this class I have learned many skills and it's very sad to see it come to an end. This will be a class I will choose to take again, it has taught many things I never knew how to do and how to step out of my comfort zone. Being a sophomore, I don't have to write a end of the year speech, such as the seniors do. I have no idea what I would like to write about. I have a couple topics I could choose, hockey, family. My number one topic would probably be hockey because that's a topic I'm very familiar. I have a lot of experience in that field. It would be very easy for me to talk about it, and explain and Eleborate on the topic. Here are multiple sub topics I could talk about

The path 

West coast vs east coast hockey

Major junior or college

Aaa or prep school

These are only a few topics I could talk about, this would be very Easy for me to talk about.

Another big topic I could talk about is family, my family is my #1 priority in life, they look up for me care about me, give me opportunities such as this one here being at Cheshire academy. Sub topic I could talk about would be 

Difficulty living without me

Stress being doctors

Living away from home

Hard work 

These are only two topics I can talk about, I feel very strongly about both the, and feel I can expand and grow onto each topic. I am also very open to other people giving me new ideas or topics. Throughout life I've learned many things and from past experiences I think I'll be able to do this and create a speech. I will not disappoint.
