Nonverbal Strategies

Aside from the way you say something, you can also improve your speech with nonverbal strategies. These are the messages the audience receives based on your body language.

Even before you begin to speak, approach the podium, or speaking stand, and confidently establish eye contact with the audience. This nonverbal language sends the message that you know your topic and are ready to present it.

Take a look at the list; it shows some examples of nonverbal strategies.

Your nonverbal strategies also will be evaluated by your teacher when you give your speech.

Nonverbal Strategies

• Maintain eye contact with your audience.

• Use appropriate gestures, facial expressions, and other types of body language to emphasize key points.

• Use a visual aid or provide a printed handout to direct the audience’s attention away from you and to help you relax.

write two paragraphs to compare and contrast the narrators’ schools and explain how their schools shape their perspectives toward the hijab. cite evidence from the text to support your ideas.

copy and paste answer:

two paragraphs to compare and contrast the narrator's schools would be this, the one school with the veil is the one school were the students were forced to wear the veils, and they did not know why they had to wear the veils. the girl student writing the story was not like the other students, she didn't care. in the second school there was a lot of hostile activities going on throughout the school. most of the students were upset and this, including the author, but she was trying to look and the good side of things.  

overall, both schools had something that the students or most of the students did not like or appreciate. what you can learn from these stories is that life will never be exactly how you may want it to be. complaining about your lifestyle will only make matters worse or at least feel worse in the long run. that's happens to be the information you can interpret from these two stories.
