Snow Day Assignment

Creating an interesting presentation like Steve Jobs
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) Hook 'em
Figure out something creative with a bit of "wow factor" to get your audiences initial
interest
2) Speak enthusiastically
Don't bore your listeners by being monotone and uninterested in your own presentation:
what you have to say is the most important thing on the planet and your attitude and
voice need to convince your listeners of that
3) Use descriptor words
Use words such as "amazing, exceptional, astounding, astonishing, incomparable," etc.
4) Outline your speech
Use a line to like, "I would like to discuss four common misconceptions about alcohol,"
to help keep your listeners attention and to keep them on the same page
5) Use visuals to keep it interesting and lively
Self-explanatory
6) PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE!




Multimedia use in a speech by Ze Frank:

Every second or third point Ze Frank made had an interactive component, whether that be digital animation or some website or some cleverly designed power point. This served to capture and hold the listeners interests.

Year book video suggestion

Montage, montage, montage. Montages uses rapid picture changes or short clip segments to highlight memorable experiences and rather than telling the viewer what to think about video segments, promote discussions and reminiscing.

As to what type of pictures should be shown during the film, pictures taken this semester. A sort of "candid camera" that shows RCHS students after we've adjusted to our classes and frankly, become lazy getting ready in the mornings. Also, the two to three minute film clip should include at least thirty seconds of prom shots.

Takeaway item

For my takeaway item, I was originally thinking like some sort of drink that is an alcohol substitute. Another idea I had was to hand out flyer for AA or another similar organization. However, the best idea yet was to make keychains that serve as a self-test of how drunk you are and whether you are fit to drive or not.

Don't you love when commercials come on the TV

and state a bunch of statistics about how horrible

anything from driving an old car to hair loss is

then tell you to buy some product to fix it?





Everyone wants to talk about partying,

who's house the next party will be at,

but nobody wants to talk about what happens

in the back rooms of those parties and what

happens on the way home from those parties.

Alcoholism is a serious problem that has

no instant fix. I have created a tray for

alcoholics who are trying to quit that

goes in the fridge, holds alcohol,

and helps moderate drinking. Drinking

alcohol is a conscience decision that

becomes harder to make with every shot,

beer, wine glass, or swig so make the

right choice: choose to quit!

How to Tell the Signs of Alcoholism

Start - An Introduction

This is a blog about my Senior Project at my school. It includes much of the supporting information of my project and the processes I went through to get the complete finished project.

My project consists of three parts:
- the analytical component (the paper)
- the presentation (in front of specialized judges representing the United Nations)
- the end product (a usable product, blueprint, or website that will be a visual component for my project).

My project is about alcoholism: it's effect on my local community, the nation, and the economy. My project relates to economic viability. Billions and billions of dollars are spent each year by addicts on alcohol. The truly sad part is that most alcoholics want to quit and attempt to at some time, however, are unable to. I am creating my end product to assist them in quitting their addiction.
