Freshman Nick Kapusta demonstrates how to care for his hedgehog “Chewie” (Chewbacca) in Mrs. Kate Arthurs-Goldberg’s Speech I class. Throughout the week each freshman in Speech I developed public speaking and presentation skills by giving a demonstration speech, a form of informative speech where the speaker’s primary purpose is to teach the audience how to complete a task (or process) by demonstrating that task through a series of steps. Other examples of demonstration speeches were the following: Patrick Rowell on how to make a healthy veggie salad, Hunter Oufnac on how to make the perfect “pain perdu” or “lost bread,” and Bennett Ducasse on how to make his great-grandma’s chocolate chip cookies.
