English 250 Final--Oral

If I had an opinion on a subject being discussed during class, I did my best to give my view. I was involved with several types of oral communication throughout this semester: interview, discussing my paper with others, group work, group projects, and then presenting the work to the class. The best example that I participated in for oral communication would’ve been the ‘group jammed ad’.

The jammed ad worked two fold. There was oral communication when I presented my material to the class when I described how our ad worked. To my memory I did not fidget with my hands, cross my arms, or put my back to my audience while using an appropriate volume for all to hear me. Yet, the vast majority of the oral communication in this project was done with my group members. During the presentation the audience is entirely passive and don’t have a choice on what they’re told. With the team members everyone has an equal say. Times need to be discussed for when we could meet and who was to do what by a given time. If someone was doing their share, it needed to be noted. The amount of verbal communication directly coincides with the quality of the final project.
