1. Healthcare Benefits
Healthcare Benefits ON Healthcare BenefitsWeek 3 OverviewIn the Week 3 you will first
write your speech outline. Then in a well-organized speech, inform your audience about
your topic through a Power point presentation. Once you learn how to make a power point
speech using the structure you learn in this class, you can immediately apply this technique
to any power point speech/presentation you have to do at work ?? or for a class in your
field of study ??LENGTH: 450-500 wordsAUDIENCE: author, instructor, others interested in
the field, peers in the classroomSOURCE MINIMUM: Total of 3: 1-2 from the Library and 1-2
from discipline specific websitesFORMAT STYLE: APATopic: For my speech topic, I will
want to talk about how to help others understand how to use their resources to access good
health care that can benefit them. This can be narrowed down to understanding how to get
cheaper prescriptions, resources for people who may not be able to afford copays and other
options to avoid making a high bill at an emergency room. Unfortunately, most people do
not know what is available to them and therefore ignore their health until something is
wrong. I feel it would be beneficial to understand programs for preventive health care to
catch things before they become a problem.Part 1: Post an outline of your Week 3 speech.
Here is an example of a Power Point speech Outline:Structure of a Power Point SpeechSlide

Point presentation. If you want to make speaker notes for your Power Point speech, watch
this How to make Speaker Notes in Power Point video.When you write your speech, you
need to have a main idea, a body, and a conclusion in your Power Point speech presentation.
Here is the structure of your speech when you use Power Point. Take a look at this Power
Point speech template.Slide 0: Title Slide/Write the title of your speech and your nameSlide

Cite the sources you used for this speech.Write whatever you want to say in your speech, in
the speaker notes. Healthcare BenefitsPURPOSE: to informFor week three, we are going to
be writing a speech. So, have you ever given a speech before? Have you ever written a
speech on PowerPoint before? Well it isn’t that hard to do. You will be required to write a
PowerPoint speech for this class.In English, everything we write has an introduction body
and conclusion. When we write emails, business letters, business plans, research papers for
class, or anything else that we write in English, we always have these three parts. As a
result, when we write our PowerPoint speech this week, we will have these same three
parts: introduction body and conclusion. The first slide of your PowerPoint speech
presentation will be a title slide. On the title slide, you just put your title and your name and
date in class. On the second slide, will be your introduction slide. This introduction slide will
include your thesis statement and everything that you are going to have for your speech will
be included on the slide. Remember for each slide you should have no more than three
items. You should then write down what you would say in your speaker notes.The next part
of your speech will be your body slides. The body slide occupies the middle part or the meat
of your speech. The body of your speech will include all the elements that you wrote on your
first slide. The body part of your speech corresponds to the very middle part of what you
are writing about. The purpose of the body is to illustrate, define, or justify your main idea.
The body section of your speech will be the longest part of your PowerPoint speech
presentation.In your conclusion slide, you will summarize the highlights of your speech
remember do not include more than three bullet points per slide or else your slide will look
too crowded. Write down whatever you would have to say in the speaker notes of your
PowerPoint presentation. Do not add new information in your conclusion slide. Take a look
at this Cancer/Smoking Speech template (This is the same template that is in your Week 3
Speech Assignment tab.)Example Speech Power Point:Slide 1: Example title slide: The
Adverse effects of SmokingSlide 2: Introduction/thesis slide: Smoking causes lung cancer,
stomach cancer and throat cancer.Slide 3:Smoking causes lung cancer.Slide 4: Smoking
causes stomach cancer.Slide 5: Smoking causes throat cancer.Slide 6: ConclusionSlide 7:
Works Cited/References slide Healthcare BenefitsAfter you have finished writing your
speech and you have written your introduction slide, body slides, conclusion slide, and
contact slides, then you just have to add your Works Cited slide which will contain a list of
sources that you used for your speech. Just like a paper, if you used information from other
sources, you still need to cite the source at the end of your paper. Use APA for your field of
study and for your speech.What is the difference between formal and informal
English? There are three cases in English, first person case, second person case and third
person case. When we use first person case, we are talking about ourselves (I, my, us, we,
me,) and when we use second person case, we are using ‘you’ and ‘your’ when we talk to

3. another person. We essentially use second person case only when we are talking to other
people. Both first person case and second person case are both used in informal English
such as when we want to talk to friends, family or peers. When we want to make an
informal speech, write informal emails, post to informal chat rooms or discussion boards,
we use first and second person case. Healthcare BenefitsWhat is the difference between a
speech and an essay?If you are giving a speech, you can give either an informal speech (then
you can use first and second person case) or you can give a formal presentation where you
use only third person case. Depending on your circumstances and your job, you can decide
whether or not you will give a formal or an informal speech. On the other hand, when you
write a research paper, you use only formal language 3rd person case. You do not have a
choice between using formal or informal English when you write an academic research
paper. This is the primary difference between a speech and an essay. With a speech, you can
decide if you want to write an informal speech or a formal speech whereas for an academic
research essay like your Week 5 and Week 7 papers, you always have to use third person
case formal English. Healthcare BenefitsThus, we use third person case (he/she/they) when
we write formal letters, formal business letters, formal emails, formal speech presentations
and most importantly academic research papers.For both your Week 5 Position paper and
your Week 7 Analysis paper, you will use only third person case. Third person case is when
we talk about somebody else, or when we are reporting on an event, or reporting the facts
of a research paper. You never use second person case ‘you’ and ‘your’ in an academic
paper. The only time you use first person case (I, my, us, we, me) is when we write our
diary, our journal, a poem, or an autobiography, but when we write research papers, we use
only third person case as indicated in the Week 5 and Week 7 research paper instructions.
When we write research papers, we want to use formal English for a more professional
tone. The more professional our tone is in a research paper, the more credible and
believable your paper will be to the reader. In addition, when we write research papers,
because we do not use first person case (I, my, us, me,) in an academic paper, we then do
not write about our personal experiences in a research paper. Instead, we use third person
case (he/she/they) and write about somebody else’s life based on our research. When we
write about other people’s lives, we call this ‘case studies’ in research. Always base your
research on the facts and on case studies for a more objective, professional sounding
research paper. Healthcare Benefitsam currently enrolled in school for public health. I have
been a nurse for many years and have seen a lot of barriers when it comes to health care for
patients. The one thing that I notice most is the financial aspect of health care that hinders
the overall access to the health care needs of the patients.For my position paper, I will write
about barriers faced when visiting a health care facility. This can be broken down by long
wait times, lack of teachable moments to help patients better understand their health, and
the overall treatment of patients being treated as just a number and not an actual
person.Finally, for my analysis paper, I will write about how healthcare laws benefit and
hurt the overall healthcare of the population. I plan to break this down by first
understanding the laws as it applies to health care and how it helps and hurts the care of
patient as soon as it goes into effect and in the long run.I will be communicating to the
general public with my writing. Therefore, if feel that my writing has to be professional but

4. relatable as well. I will be doing my writing in the MLA writing style. Healthcare BenefitsThe
writing that I do at work is more descriptive writing. I am usually writing out procedures
and how I perform them. This gives legal documentation of things that I may have done to
or for a patient. It also gives a written picture to assure that I followed policies and
procedures.The resources that I use for my writing at work is provided by my company. We
have a resource page that we use at work that helps us access all the resources that we need
to do documentation and to access all policies and procedures. For example, we have links
to the CDC, American Heart Association, and Up to date.Research questions are questions
that we think of and research to support our topic. Having access to research helps us to
better understand our thesis and explain it in depth. Healthcare Benefits
