Many of us have witnessed a special occasion speech, whether at a wedding, tribute, funeral, political rally or graduation. Write a short, one page paper, sharing a time that you have witnessed a special occasion speech that was BAD, and what made it so unsuccessful. For example, you may have listened to a speaker who could not quit saying umm, and it was really distracting, or a speaker who spoke very quietly and was difficult to hear, or a speaker who chose a topic that was not appropriate to the occasion. There are a lot of different ways that a speech can go BAD. Being able to recognize what does not work in public speaking, will help you to become a better public speaker yourself. You will use google docs to create and share this assignment.
