Speech Presentation Instructions:
Welcome to module 3 of Speech and Verbal Communications. In this module we will be exmanining the different types of speeches you may encounter. There are many different types of speeches:
1) entertaining
2) informative
3) persuasive
4) demonstrative
5) commemorative
There isn't total agreement on how many different types of speeches there are but in this module you will learn about the different types of speeches and why there isn't agreement on the number of different types speeches. It doesn't really matter how many different types of speeches there are as long as you understand each speech has a specific purpose and you need to prepare so you can make your presentation with that in mind. We will examine the differences between the various speech types and how to prepare for each one.
For the first case assignment you will be writing one three minute speech. In the background material for this module you read about several different types of speeches now you will put to practice what you have learned.
Write one speech, write it as you would speak it. You will not be graded on grammar and you do not need to cite any sources, write it as if you were speaking. (Try not to include too many ah's though, also known as pregnant pauses.)
The speech should be a minimum of six pages. (This is equivalent to about 3 minutes of speech if you talk slow.) Then in one page or less state what type of speech it is and the purpose of the speech.
You may find it easiest to actually give the speech, recording yourself give it, then transcribe it typing it up as it was spoken.
Please submit your speech to CourseNet by the module due date.
Assignment Expectations:
Distinguish between different types of speeches and understand the purpose of each type of speech.

Type of Speech and Purpose (Demonstrative Speech)
A demonstration speech explains how a certain event takes place or how something works. It could also be used to elaborate unknown concepts about a given phenomenon or idea. The speech presenter can make use of physical objects or visual aids such as graphs and maps to further elucidate into the validity of the information being presented. A demonstrative speech is often instructive and presents valuable and significant information. I am going to present a demonstrative speech to exhibit the fact that there is no big difference between tap water and commercially bottled water.
Is Tap Water Fit For Human Consumption?
1.0 Preamble
In the contemporary world, people are gradually ditching the tap water for the bottled water; the bottled water is becoming popular as the marketers use the “less lead” cliché to hoodwink the consumers. I have a young sister who will never take tap water, she is willing to pay any price just to make sure that she consumes the supposedly fit for human consumption water. Statistics indicate that one in every six American households use bottled water, meaning that the consumers have progressively accepted the bottled water. Unfortunately, bottled water is expensive for the average to low income earner, there are major factors that a consumer needs to consider before choosing either the bottled or tap water. The tap water is rich in fluoride, which promotes healthy teeth. I would like to conduct an experiment to deduce whether my sister can pick out between tap water and bottled water.
Am going to take you through a methodology that I used to investigate the “merits” of bottled water, testing its similarities and parities in comparison to the tap water. Many consumers do not know the differences between the two, and the fallacy that bottled water is better tasting, high quality and less contaminated as compared the tap water must be confirmed. Bottled water is more expensive than the tap water; people are willing to pay more owing to the “virtues” associated with the bottled water. Are the consumers indeed getting the value for their money or are they actually missing some vital chemicals found in tap water? Through this investigation, I will be able to draw conclusions on whether there is any major difference between the tap water and the bottled water.
3.0 Method
3.1 Prelude
For the purposes of this investigation, I had to prove beyond reasonable doubts that the bottled water is better and richer than the tap water. On the other hand, I had to ascertain whether it is true that indeed the tap water has some ingredients that the bottled water lacks, in that case I had to conduct various tests to ascertain my hypothesis
3.2 Hypothesis
Bottled water is the preferred brand for human consumption because it amasses multiple qualities lacking in tap water. Owing to the processing conducted on bottled water it is more pure, less contaminated and better tasting as compared to the tap water.
3.3 Procedure
3.3.1 Chemical Analysis
For the purpose of chemical analysis, I gathered water from the tap; I also purchased different brands of bottled water to for the validity of the test sample. The collected samples were then poured into labeled beakers and tested using the commercial water testing kit. Foremost, all the samples were tested using PH paper strips to test for acidity, I wanted to establish the degree of acidity or alkalinity the deduced results are as tabulated on the table one.
Figure 1.0: Table Illustrating the PH Levels Of various water Sources.
The Source Of Water Recorded PHTap water7.0 Penta water4.0 Ice Age Glacial Water4.5Pure American Water5.0Fiji Water7.5Alkalized Ionized water9.5Deep Rock Water8.0The human body is supposed to maintain a PH balance ranging from 6.5 to 7.5; if it is lesser than that, it means that the body has more acidity than necessary. If a person ingests anything less than the optimum level of acidity, the body is compelled to work harder or borrow calcium from other body parts like the bones in order to maintain the optimum PH balance. From the above experiment, it is apparent for all to see; most bottled waters are highly acidic; but the tap water contains the optimum balance needed to maintain human acidity. The Filtered Ionized Alkaline Water is made with a water ionizer, contains abundant oxygen with more available energy.
3.3.2 Distillation
This method is more advanced than the chemical test, it helped me to find out the chemical compositions of the various water samples presented for experiment. In conducting the experiment, I placed small amounts of water samples in 1/7 inch beakers and placed all the samples in a well-lit window. The process took long, because I had to wait for the water to evaporate completely. The tap water left behind cloudy film of the glass as compared to the other bottled water used in the experiment and the implication of such findings is that tap water has more mineral content as compared to the bottled water.
3.3.3 The Blind Test
In this test, I sought to uncover whether the bottled water has better taste, smell and clarity as compared to the tap water. There has been a supposition that some of the bottled waters test better owing to the chemical constituents found in each bottle. I made use of five bottled waters namely; Fiji w...
