Obviously this island is very male dominated, and feminists have expressed this inequality with dissatisfaction. Have the feminists ever given credit to any men for trying to make the world a better place? How come men don&#8217;t seem to want to grow up? This video takes a light hearted look at the &#8220;real&#8221; gender issues in Neverland, with Don explaining the trouble with women in Neverland, and BJ Olsen explaining the trouble with men in Neverland.<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/FYWrkCqOu08\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h1><strong>About Project #05 \u2013 Your Body Speaks<\/strong><\/h1>\n<p>Body language is a key part of public speaking. It includes using facial expressions, stage presence, hand gestures, and eye contact. Good use of body language conveys confidence, clarity, and emphasis. The objective of this speech is to incorporate body language to improve the effectiveness of the speech.<\/p>\n<h1><b>Specifics \u2013 <\/b><\/h1>\n<h5>Word of Day: Misanthrope<\/h5>\n<h5>Speech Time Limit: 5-7 Minutes (10-14 Minutes because of dual speech)<\/h5>\n<h5>Actual Speech time: 16:08<\/h5>\n<h1><\/h1>\n<h1><b>Evaluation Notes \u2013 <\/b><\/h1>\n<p>There were two evaluators for this speech.\u00a0 Dave Schaal\u00a0evaluated my portion of the project, and Gene Van Massenhove evaluated BJ&#8217;s portion of the project.<\/p>\n<p>Dave mentioned that the speech was well rehearsed and the body language really emphasized the speech.\u00a0 The &#8220;stage&#8221; was well used, as BJ and\u00a0I worked well together with our delivery.\u00a0 He felt that\u00a0some of the background gestures I used were a little\u00a0distracting.\u00a0 To improve the speech,\u00a0he felt I could have used a little more clarity in what exactly I wanted the audience to take away from the speech.<\/p>\n<p>Gene found that it was very easy to focus on the speakers and follow the topic.\u00a0 He was impressed that BJ did the background research on Peter Pan in order to provide such a gentle rebuttal.\u00a0 Gene offered two alternatives for doing this speech.\u00a0 The first was that she could have used information outside of the realm of Peter Pan to make her points.\u00a0 The other was that she could have argued the point from Tinker Bell, Tiger Lily or Wendy, using &#8220;I&#8221; instead of &#8220;they&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Note: all comments have been paraphrased.<\/p>\n<h1><b>Personal Comments &#8211;<\/b><\/h1>\n<p>Like Dave mentioned in his evaluation, it does get hard to give a good evaluation to speakers that are well polished.\u00a0 However,\u00a0as I&#8217;ve\u00a0viewed this video over and\u00a0over, I can point out an error here\u00a0and\u00a0an &#8220;uh&#8221; there.\u00a0 I cringed when I heard\u00a0bad grammar in my own voice, &#8220;What kind of words of encouragement is that?&#8221;\u00a0\u00a0I really meant to say, &#8220;What encouraging words\u00a0are those?&#8221;\u00a0 As we often say in Toastmasters:\u00a0 &#8220;There is always room for improvement.&#8221;\u00a0 However, I will definately say that the more you can rehearse your speech, the better it will come out.<\/p>\n<p>This speech was a\u00a0lot of\u00a0fun to work on, but was very time consuming. \u00a0Many thanks to BJ Olsen who spent hours planning and rewriting this speech with me.\u00a0 It was my intention for this speech to be light hearted, non-offensive, and frivolous.\u00a0 I think the goal was accomplished, and I give a lot of the credit to BJ Olsen!\u00a0 Thank you, BJ!<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Do you have any comments, suggestions, or improvements\u00a0about the speech?
