Informative Speech Due Wednesday

Hello I have an informative speech due Thursday morning.  I ahve written an outline but it needs some inporvement according to the instructor. 

“It looks like you did a pretty good job on the worksheet in terms of picking a topic area. Telling the audience how to play Texas Hold’em can be acceptable, however, keep your audience in mind. You need to make sure that everyone can find something in your speech that is useful, enlightening, etc. You’ll have to think about listeners who might not gamble–how can they benefit from your speech? You might consider expanding your topic (after I looked at the outline) to include one main point about the history/origins of the game and a second main point about the rules.”

 

I have attached myoutline and the instructions that need to be followed.  Please review these befor eresponding so I know you can complete the task.

Informative Speech

Value: 50 points Length: 5-8 minutes

Requirements:

1. Full-sentence (typed) outline

2. Note cards

3. Two oral citations cited in speech and in reference section

This informative speech should inform the audience about a relevant topic of interest.

In this speech, you will be informing the audience with new information, new insights, or new ways of thinking about a topic. You might introduce listeners to new ideas, events, people, places and processes (O’Hair, 2004).

The goal of informative speaking is to increase the audience’s understanding or awareness by imparting knowledge. Your speech might be an in-depth analysis of a specific topic, a simple description of a topic, or an overview of a topic.

All informative speeches have an identifiable introduction, body and conclusion. You will include at least three cited references during the speech. You also need to incorporate one visual aid.

Introduction: The introduction should compel the audience to listen (with an attention-getter), reveal the topic and thesis statement (goal of your speech) and provide a preview. The preview will be an overview of the main points.

Body: Most informative speeches should contain no more than three main points, organized in a way that helps the audience make sense of the message. Once the main points and organizational pattern are set, identify what evidence supports which main point and place these sub-points in the correct location. For this short speech, one or two main points are sufficient.

Conclusion: All informative conclusions should include a brief summary of the main points. No new information should be given to the audience in the conclusion. An effective conclusion leaves the audience thinking about the speaker’s message.

Outlining the Informative Speech: A detailed outline is mandatory and should follow the example attached. The outline you turn in to the instructor must be in full-sentence format and typed. Your speaking outline (note cards) must be in phrase or key word format and include three citations. (Quotes, transitions, and specific citations, as well as introduction and conclusion may be stated in full sentences.)

3. Types of Poker Players : (Rick Braddy http://www.texas-holdem-net.com/types-of-poker-
players.html

)

Tight-Passive

A tight-passive player is one that won’t raise or call unless they have a very strong hand.

type of player is normally best suited for limit ig,laftlgidgfff-,!:8keI and will very seldom
risk on their hand. lf a tight passive player calls your raise you’d better have the courage

backup your bet.

Loose-Passive

Loose passive players are also known as “calling stations”. They callany bet you place and it’s

best to avoid bluffing these players. They’ll very seldom fold once they’ve seen the flop.

Tight-Aggressive
These players will only bluff occasionally. They only play good hands and once they’ve got that

hand they’ll bet aggressively. Beware when this player raises he could end up taking a huge

chunk out of your stack.

Loose-Aggressive

Some of the mostfamous poker players are loose aggressive. These players have no problem

going “all-in”, but the best loose-aggressive players will mix up their aggressive and passive

play, it’s hard to read their hands. They go all-in with a pair of aces or just a simple 7, 3. These
are the high-rollers of Texas Hold em poker.

Now allyou need to do is begin by placing yourself in one of these categories, then go to the
online casino and see if you’re can spot the different types of poker players and then play your

strategy accordingly.
