1. What is an audience?

An audience is a group of people who come and watch or support either a play or function.

2.Please list three different types of audiences there are.

Audience’s are made up of all types. When breaking them down they narrow down three: you could have a similar audience who are all friends or family. A different group of people who don’t know one another. Lastly the audience could be made up of neighbors or random people walking around.

3.Pretend that you are giving a presentation to the following groups:
a)High school students
b)Parents
c)Business men and women

When talking about each topic you could begin by bringing up a topic each one could relate to. in high school students talk about sports or academics. With parents you could talk about education. Lastly with business people talk about their daily life or the economy.

4.What are some topics that you would discuss with them? How do you plan to hold their attention?

You could talk about things they all have in common and to keep their attention make it fun not some boring speech you hear everyday have props and speak to the audiences ability.

1. Do you like presenting information?

Yes I do like presenting, the reason is because as teens we all have to get use to talking to larger bodies of people time by time. At an early stage you soon begin to become more comfortable talking to a larger number of students in a class and the reason is to have you well up and ready for college presentations.

2. What do you think are the key elements in a good speech?

I think the key elements in a good speech is being prepared and ready to go. Yes, everyone might be nervous at first but, try not to shake or freak out. Keep your hands in front of you do not play with them or use them as a distraction. Speak loud and clear and your ready to get up there and do your best.

3. What is difference between giving a speech about something you enjoy as opposed to something that you do not enjoy?

The difference between giving a speech about something you like rather than something you don’t care much about. When doing a project you like your more excited in what you like so when you present it’s a piece of cake. Rather then doing a project and presenting something you did not have must interest in. Keep in mind the project you enjoy is more fun.

4. Why do you believe power point is a helpful tool to use for presentations?

Powerpoint is a very helpful tool when coming to presentations because it allows you to pick the styles of how you put your project together. So, you could both write down your important information and spice it up for it to look nice.

5. When do you think you will be using power point after high school?

I think we will be using power point a lot in college.

My Shopping List(:

racheltlusty — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 16:13:24 +0000

A. The whole project was fun it showed you that food is expensive now in days and money does not just grow on trees. The one struggle I had faced was towards the end trying to narrow down my foods to have the maximum price I needed.

B. The reason I think we need to create a budget is to open our eyes and show us we do not need everything we put on our lists all the time. Half of the time the foods go bad if you buy too much and that is just money of your own wasted. To keep in mind when shopping put the mandatory things you need first.

C. Yes I do. As kids we rarely care about the cost of things but the money is coming out of mom and dads pocket. We do not realize how much food/ things could cost. But, while we get older and have to actually buy the food for ourselves we realize it could cost a lot of money.

D. Yes I did enjoy this project. The reason I liked it was because it made up as teens feel like adults for the day. Making our own shopping list and looking up our top favorite foods and junk foods and how it allowed us to see how much each idem cost so we know in advance.

Before I begin I would just like mention that this video was unbelievable and points out some really good points. The reason I liked it so much it explains how much people take advice and blog off the things they find online or what they hear. But when really you should really wait for the news to come to you rather than making up information. It teaches us a lesson to not blog about un-needed information on facebook or myspace to show the world things you don’t want others to see. Keep in mind everyone is different and have different feelings. Just be aware.
