In English class, we had a guest speaker who did a presentation.

Question

I have to do a response assignment based on that event.
But, in this case, what kind of writing am I supposed to do?
that's often my an obstacle to me.

Any help, I'll really appreciate it.

Answer 1

What did you think about the speaker? What did he or she talk about? Did it make sense to you? Do you agree with the speaker? Were you inspired by the speaker? Did you think he or she was dull and boring? Were you inspired to read more about whatever he/she talked about? Be honest in your response.

Answer 2

Ok, I'll my best to response those key points.
The writing still follows the same format that is...

Answer 3

You are writing an essay expressing your personal observations. You need an introductory paragraph that includes a thesis statement, at least three short paragraphs, each to make a point about the speaker and his/her message, and a conclusion.

Answer 4

In all good non-fiction writing or reporting, first you tell the reader (audience) what you are going to tell them, then tell them, then tell them what you told them. :)

Answer 5

I have listened to speakers who led my thinking along another path, down a road not traversed before. I could cite many examples, but I suspect it has happened to many before. It may not have been the speakers intention, but it happened. I have never forgotten listening to a speaker on anti-abortion, laying out his arguments about life, and all I could think on was the Texas Death Penalty for many crimes, and how randomly it was applied. Certainly, the speaker did not intend that (he was an avid law and order guy), but it took me down the path to never accepting the death penalty as justice. Sometimes these paths are just laid before us. Don't hesitate to explore them in your writing if it occurred.
