Speech
Question 1
Importance of setting a specific goal for your speech. Elements of the speech help share goal with the audience.
Notably, the specific goal identifies with the message the speaker needs to disseminate to the listeners. As such, the latter form the speech foundation. Before engaging in the speech's writing, it is essential to understand the delivery strategy and particular goal. The goals require the audience to comply and implement them into their lives at the end of the session (
Richardson,1990
)
. For instance, the plan can focus on entertaining, informing, or persuading the audience. In this perspective, the need to convince the listeners requires the incorporation of argumentative communication. Incorporating more factual information links with informing the participants. To entertain the audience calls for becoming funny or implementing other essential literacy tools for the performance (
Richardson,1990
)
. Multiple elements prove successful for the delivery process. Message
Incorporates what the speaker needs to achieve using the talking. The latter implies an
identification of the primary message communicated. The received information means that the intended goal gets attained. The talker incorporates a clarity to disseminate the message towards the audience (
Richardson,1990
)
. Body Language
The narrator's bodily language forms an essential element required to achieve the goals in the speech. The speaker needs to remain stable while controlling the motion during the session. Content of the speech

The contents add the quality ingredient for the presentation while delivering different dimensions (
Richardson,1990
)
. A full range facilitates the meeting of set goals. Rate of speech
The speed of the delivery is an important aspect. The audience sometimes comprehends the speech content that becomes communicated at a special rate.
Why is it essential to choose patterns of organization for speech? How audience become aware of the organizational design?
The speech's purpose interconnects with the dissemination of ideas to the audience. The notions become thought and later subdivided into small groups that join to form whole parts. Sometimes the supporting documents are utilized in communicating the ideas (Hogan, Andrews, Andrews & Williams, 2008)
. The organization determines how the information flows from the talker. The chronological order incorporates timeline usage in the process of delivery. Speaking about areas requires adopting the spatial structure. The audience tends to become aware of the realization of the speaker's intentions using the speech (Hogan, Andrews, Andrews & Williams, 2008)
. If the speaker notices a [problem, then begins implementing solutions, then the audience realizes that the practice is a
problem-solving outline. On the other hand, adopting varied event timeline make the listeners
recognize that the pattern is timeline organization. Would speech be less effective if the speaker neglects the usage of introduction functions? Which functions are most important? Explain
The essential introductory functions involve outlining main points, showing the thesis's purpose, exploring the speech relevance, topic introduction, and seeking audience attention (Steve Price, 2005)
. Abandoning the function results in less persuasiveness on the audience's part through inadequate synchronization from the beginning of the talk. Introduction requires the audience to begin following the speech. The failure to secure the

latter in the initial discussion deprives the speaker of a chance to make the audience concentrate on a subsequent event. The functions tend more beneficial as the relevance of the talk to the thesis purpose and the audience remain significant than other factors (Steve Price, 2005)
. The ideology behind the struggle calls for making the audience realize the value attached to the speech. The thesis statement, written in a line, needs clarity and proper organization. Advise to give classmate on an effective conclusion writing
I would ask the classmate to come up with more vital words to summarize the discussion's key ideas in the speech. I think providing a supporting document to the listeners makes it interesting that the audience understands the following events. The conclusions offer
a chance to correct the identified deficiencies caused in the entire talk. Portray how the speech is relevant and essential to the projected audience. Make reflections on the suggestions or findings for the outcome clarity for the listeners. Question 2 Participation in the virtual group. Discuss the experience. What was satisfying? Review Fiedler’s and Hersey & Blanchard’s contingency models. Develop important contingency lists considered for deciding leadership style in different situations. Explain
reasoning.
I have engaged in the virtual service related to video calling. The experience was great but also accompanied by multiple challenges. Interestingly, amid the call, interference from pets makes the process surprising. Consistent shifts in concentration to focus on the impending interference make the practice laughable. I realize that microphones need to be off
when using the washrooms to prevent possible public exposure. If things go wrong, avoidance of freaking out is a challenging factor. The little personal touch makes the process unrealistic. The other limitations include technological downtime, time zone differences,

expensive, and more training requirement. The remarkable aspect relates with brighter light sources' presence improves the images' clarity for call participation. Fiedler Contingency Theory represents the earliest and extensively researched by scholars. The theory asserts that teams' performance is mainly contingent on the leader's mental orientation alongside contextual variables, including leadership power position, task structure, and group atmosphere (
Saebi & Foss, 2015
)
. The productivity of groups depends on factors like favorability on situations and style of leadership. The effectiveness of the leadership originates from an interaction between environmental characteristics and the type of leader. Blanchard and Hersey’s model
assert that no leadership is better than the rest. The approach disputes occupational factors while advocating for the leaders to adjust leadership styles on subordinate abilities. As such, proper management consists of relationship and task-
based relevancy (
Saebi & Foss, 2015
)
. The contingency list involves position power, task structure, and leader-member relationship. The heart transplant requires a leader-member relation in that everyone have trust and confidence in leaders for better operation outcome. The neighborhoods eliminating the crack dealer need position power so that it's easier to adopt disciplining the group (
Saebi & Foss, 2015
)
. Also, the team of learners studying for the final exam incorporates task structure to proceed with the task achievement. Question 3
Reflective Thinking
Stage 1: Definition and problem identification
Food drive helps the food banks, soup kitchen, and food pantries in donation collection to stalk the shelves (
Campbell
,
Ross & Webb, 2013
)
. The initiative conducted by

the college students fosters awareness-raising regarding hunger in the community. The problem of hunger impacts society, but the majority fail to realize such effects. Stage 2: Problem analysis
Food banks in the United States continue to encounter surging demand from individuals and families affected by the Covid-19 pandemic (
Campbell
,
Ross & Webb, 2013
)
. The last call for an urgent application of rationing. The fallout in the economic situation fosters decreased donation from the supermarkets, having empty shelves. The position facilitates initiating a food drive campaign for securing and refilling the shelves while educating the public's members. Stage 3: Solution generation The charitable division involving the feeding programs, food pantries, and banks collaborates to solve the problem of insecurity. The efforts for hunger relief contribute to health-based initiatives through nutrition education, target programming, and healthcare partnerships. Researching food insecurity makes it possible to understand the perceived effects of insecurity (
Campbell
,
Ross & Webb, 2013
)
. Also, proper goal setting on how to conduct the food drive proves effective. Stage 4: Selection of Best Alternatives
Form the implemented strategies, educating the public members about hunger and possible ways of defeating the problem is essential for society. Knowledgeability overweighs the act of healthcare collaboration in tackling the scarcity (
Campbell
,
Ross & Webb, 2013
)
. Proper awareness creation results in appropriate goal setting, which improves effectiveness by identifying which foodstuff gathered, a better delegation of responsibilities at different regions, and valid partner selection. Stage 5: Test and Implementing solution

In testing strategic educational intervention, we realize that the food banks retain most
essential foodstuffs for longer than previous observations. Implementation of the intervention
requires massive financial resources in hiring the educators, transportation, and production of the campaign banners or posters (
Campbell
,
Ross & Webb, 2013
)
. Promoting learning about food insecurity among the population remains the most effective activity in solving the long-
term problem. Question 4
Speech on finding your storytelling to engage the audience
Today on my podcast, my good topic is storytelling with a twist. Of course, stories create a bond, and we all love hearing stories. Are you able to tell your story well or effectively use your voice? Whether a business person or a lover of level, are you able to keep your listeners elevated? This is what I want to discuss today. I will respond to Siri’s request on how to tell a story.
Your voice is a vital instrument; Play it well.
My response about keeping the listeners hooked in emotional speech requires incorporating a good story using better vocals to engage the listeners' emotion and intention. I
believe that every stage of the story needs to draw the attention of the listeners into enthusiasm. Telling of personal narratives gives us the power to improvise
(Tips, 2016)
. In this
case, Siri’s problem is the inability to tell others a story. The challenge relates to telling the author's story in a compelling, exciting, and exciting way. I think specific practice and skills are required to twist the content to appear like your own. This is the way I think about the issue. My twins have participated in learning to play piano for several years. When one engages in the play, I can recognize who plays it when I am outside the practice room
(Tips, 2016)
. I believe that the reason for the difference is the level of skill despite equal training duration.

The variation exists as they play the device or musical interpretation. One of my girls exhibits further confidence in the modified style. It would help if you had to create a personal tempo in that the speed reduces as the story ends in a smooth manner
(Tips, 2016)
. It would help if you decided on when to pause, shout, and speak louder. In the introduction, make sure you create a particular conflict, then immediately resolve through offering multiples alternatives to the challenge. Question 5
Critique visual aid; what is done better with the visual? Alternative visuals applicable, impact on quality and believability in the absence of graphics, and what the talker needs
to do to communicate similar information without pictures?
The presented visual aid proves better and effective for implementing dramatic performance in a family setting for the audience. The background drawings offer the best scene for the version, for instance, the church building
(Kass, 2015)
. In presenting the information about making kids learn and feed well, other methods can be used. Representative visual: prove effective in the training practice. The visuals on the drawings need to depict actual content appearance
(Kass, 2015)
. The graphics intend to present
concrete factual and concrete data related to the tasks. Mnemonic: If the learners are not offered any aids, then the visual is essential as a remembrance device. Relational: determine a quantitative association, for instance, pie charts alongside graphs without numerical percentages. The information gets conveyed in the same way. Failure to use the visuals makes the audience reduce believability, understandability, and loss of concentration. Thus, poor quality presentation. An alternative to visual aid usage requires the speaker to adopt tonal variation through raising and lowering the voice while making body movements to attract the audience's attention
(Kass, 2015)
. In the talk, making a
9
proper introduction through making the audience understand the purpose of the speech is
essential (Kass, 2015)
. Making clear the message's content enables the listeners to concentrate more through developing the urge to hear what next.
