Fairies are mentioned in a lot of literary works.  If you ask people to name one fairy, a name often mentioned is “Tinker Bell”.  She is that popular!  This speech will tell you everything you want to know about Tinker Bell: How she got her name, who the model was for the Disney animation, and other interesting facts about Tinker Bell.  For visual aids, my friend Kristine Campbell let me showcase her collection of Tinker Bell artwork.

About Project #08 – Visual Aids

Using visual aids in speaking can be useful tools, since so much of our learning takes place through our eyes.  If done well, visual aids can increase the audiences understanding, enhance retention, and promote attentiveness.

Evaluation Notes –

It was a very interesting comment by Kent to not use handouts.  Although, I technically did not use a handout, I did pass around a paper that had the photo of Margaret Kerry.  Kent is absolutely right about people not paying attention to the speaker when they are busy passing around a photo.  It probably would have better for me to make a large enough photo board for everyone to see from a distance.  I certainly wasn’t going to go through the expense of making a copy for everyone.

Personal Comments –

I think this is one of the few speeches that look better in video than in person.  I was able to copy the images in the frames with a camera, doctor them up in Photo Shop, and nicely insert them in to the video.  Plus, if you get around to Kent’s evalution in the end of the video, I was able to keyframe in Tinker Bell to “assist” him.

Do you have any comments, suggestions, or improvements about the speech? Please leave a comment and tell me what you think:
