Discussion on sources presentation 2

For my second presentation i tried to improve on what i didn’t like about my first speech one of those things was that i didn’t use a lot of outside sources. For this presentation i used the same video as last time done by bike radar ad isla rowntree called “teach your kid how to ride a bike” i also dug a little bit more into islam and got more information about her. Then i use the in class reading done by Joseph Zompetti on “using and citing evidence” i found that this article really connected to my presentation and would help the class also have something to connect my presentation to. I am a lot happier with my use of sources for this project then my first one!

Discussion of video rehearsal presentation 2

Looking back on my video rehearsals i found a lot of things that i could improve on. The first thing is is something i am working on is my stance and my placement of my body however in my video rehearsals i decided to sit on my bed. This isn’t helpful because i will not be sitting down as i give my presentation. The videos also helped me see that i need to practice more with this speech because i used more specific ideas and i sighted people which is a lot harder to memorize.  In the first video i did something similar to the first project where basically  just reading my presentation. In the second a third ones i tried to not do this as much but watching the video i did it a lot because it was hard for me to remember the peoples names. Overall these video rehearsals just taught me that i really need to practice my speech more before i give it to the class.

class 7!!

In class last week we did a lot of interesting things. we started at our school and we biked through the wiggle all the way down to market street. biking on market street was interesting because sometimes we were in a bike lane but sometimes we were just biking where the cars were driving. I think it will be nice when they redo market street and don’t allow regular cars to drive there anymore. At the end of market street was the ferry building where we stopped to get ice cream. We all admired the beautiful views of the bay and its hard to imagine that that used to be a freeway! from the ferry building we biked to ucsf were we met Dr. Doug Bauer who talked to us about evidence and projects he’s being working on there. then after we left on our ride back we went under the freeway and through the mission to complete our 12 mile long bike ride! This was the longest bike ride we have ever done and it was very tiring but looking back I love to tell people that I actually biked 12 miles in one day!!

write out for project 2

Hi my name is jordan and for my presentation i will be talking about the video i worked with last time done by bike radar on how to teach a child to ride a bike. I wanted to continue with this topic because I find it interesting and this time I looked at the evidence that this video provided. In the video they use a couple different types of evidence which are factual demonstrations and an expert testimony.

I believe the first form of evidence presented is an expert testimony. Instead of our speaker quoting someone who they believe to be an expert i think bikeradar let the expert herself create the video. The lady doing the videos name is Isla Rowntree and she is a former bike racer and is now the founder of a kids bike brand called islabikes. This proves that Isla really knows what she is talking about and is almost an expert on the subject. I feel like what she says is a good form of testimony because according to the reading “using and citing evidence” and expert testimony is given by someone who is in the related field of the controversy. So i believe the whole video is a form of an expert testimony.

The next form is what I believe to be the biggest and most prominent piece of evidence was the use of factual demonstrations. In the reading by Joseph Zompetti on evidence he says that “Factual demonstrations are forms of evidences that can actually demonstrate the claim.” During the whole video while the lady is talking about what you should do with your child she is actually demonstrating with a child or having the child do it on his own. This was also really helpful because it was easy to follow what she was saying because they were demonstrating at the same time. It was also very powerful because she was basically showing how what she is saying is true and it does work.

Overall this video has very good use of evidence and helps me and the viewers who are most likely parents to take islas expert advice when teaching kids to learn to ride bikes.

Arrangement outline for presentation 2

I will be continuing to talk about the video done by isla rowntree from bike radar but this time i am emphasizing on the use of evidence.

My audience are my classmates.

The purpose and my goal of this presentation is to show how bikeradar uses evidence in there video “how to teach your kid to ride a bike”

Introduction:

Hi my name is jordan and for my presentation i will be talking about the video i worked with last time done by bike radar on how to teach a child to ride a bike. I wanted to continue with this topic because i find it interesting and this time I looked at the evidence that this video provided.

They use a couple different types of evidence which are factual demonstrations and an expert  testimony.

Factual demonstrations

The biggest form of evidence i found in the video was the use of factual demonstrations. In the reading by Joseph Zompetti on evidence he says that “Factual demonstrations are forms of evidences that can actually demonstrate the claim.” During the whole video while the lady is talking about what you should do with your child she is actually demonstrating with a child or having the child do it on his own.

Expert testimony

The lady doing the videos name is Isla Rowntree and she is a former bike racer and is now the founder of a kids bike brand called islabikes. This proves that Islam really knows what she is talking about and is almost an expert on the subject. I feel like what she says is a good form of testimony because according to the reading “using and citing evidence” and expert testimony is given by someone who is in the related field of the controversy.

Conclusion

Overall this video has very good use of evidence and helps me and the viewers (parents) to take their advice when teaching kids to learn to ride bikes.

class 6!

this week in class we did a few different things. we started off class by learning ideas of meditation and how to focus in on parts of our body to relax. then we connected this to presenting by talking about using our bodies in our presentation like being aware of what our arms are doing and where our feet are. This is important for me to remember because I tend to be closed off and cross my legs and lose balance. Then we got a lot of class time to catch up on previous assignments and making sure we have everything in our blogs and canvas. this was extremely helpful and helped clear up a few questions I had. Then to finish off class we put our posters together and edited them so that some people can take them to the conference next week! I think overall this class was very productive and we got a lot done!

write-out for presentation one

Hi my name is jordan and for  my presentation I watched a video done by bike radar on how to teach a child to ride a bike. Bike radar is a youtube channel all about biking and for all ages. This helps me believe that the information in the video is pretty credible and accurate. She also had a child Doing the steps as she was talking and the advice she was saying really seemed to work for the child. She also seemed very intelligent and had a lot of tips that are new since I was learning to ride a bike which means that she keeps up with today’s research and is knowledgeable of a child’s development. For example she says that the best way did children to learn is to get a bike without pedals first and have hem push using their feet. However when I was growing up we used training wheels. The reason training wheels are now not the best option for children is because it is easier to teach a child to pedal after they have learned to balance. This also helps prevent children from falling as much there first couple times. I remember when I was learning my first time on a bike without training wheels I lost balance so I fell right into the fire hydrant on my street. I also liked that she talked about the age at which children should learn. She said no earlier then three and average is around four. Having taken multiple child development classes I know that that is the appropriate age at which they should be able to handle those developmental tasks. I was really impressed with how she connected with her audience and at first I didn’t really think she was because it was more of a how to video but then I realized that to appeal to the parents who are most likely her general audience She wanted to seem like someone you would trust by being very calm and personable but confident at the same time. And it worked. The delivery of her speech was very clear. She got her message across while having a good tone, cleaR voice, and good eye contact. This video definitely felt like it was an idea worth sharing i did not feel like it was to promote this lady or bikeradar it felt like it was purely to help families teach their children how to ride there first bike. Overall I would definitely say that this video was credible and that if you need tips on how to teach a child to ride a bike you should check it out.

expedition post #1

this week I went on my first expedition. After class today in golden gate park me Malia and Sierra decided to go ride our bikes to a ben and Jerry’s. we had to figure out the best way too get there by bike which was hard because there was no bike lanes and we didn’t want to ride on the sidewalk. At first we decided to walk them for a while but then we got tired of that because we were moving very slow and decided to ride the rest of the way in the street. thisbwas a kittle scary but we made it there safely. when we got there we only had one lock but we managed to find a way to lock all of them up together and it worked! After we enjoyed our ice creams we headed back to campus. On our way back we decided to go through the panhandle. this was a fun little mini excursion and it was a nice treat!

class 5 :)

Last week in class my favorite part was riding the tandem bike! I really enjoyed this experience riding through out golden gate park. I had never really even seen someone riding a tandem bike in person so I was very nervous. This experience was pretty hard to get used to because when you are on the back and when. you are on the front it is two totally different things. When your riding on the back you have no control over the braking, steering, or change of gears. this is a weird feeling because if you want to slow down you have to rely on the other person. however the weirdest thing for me was pedaling and knowing I was biking but not being able to see what was In front of the or where we were going.  After we completely crashed and fell over we started communicating more and we started to get the hang of it. By the end of the day we were really in sync and stopping and starting were much easier. I really like the idea of a tandem bike because it has the aerodynamics of a regular bike but the man power of two! Overall I loved the tandem bike and I would for sure do it again

Reading response 3 mod 2

Three rhetorical trick bike advocates could learn from uber’s plouffe is by Michael Anderson. This article focuses on the potential impact of different ways of presenting evidence and how no you can use certain ideas to your advantage to help your argument. He talks about how the person speaking on behalf of uber didn’t care that there is public transportation everywhere throughout most urban cities but instead he found a statistic that worked towards his point allowing him to engage the audience. This speaker also used comforting words like hope and change because they are very well liked. Mark talks about how applying this statistic does not need to be 100% true but just to have some truthfulness. It doesn’t need to be exact but if it is true then you might as well use it to help support your argument!
