Chp 6. Speech Buddy Videos

The video with Evan talked about how to do research on your essay topic. What I found interesting from the reading and from this video is to incorporate both sides of the topic; such as taking a person who is anti-abortion and a person who is pro-abortion. As a expert on this topic, I must take in both views and conduct a speech presenting those two opinions even if I was an anti-abortionist. As for previous speeches and research papers that I have written, I always found myself limiting to just Google and Yahoo! search. I did not go abroad and search on different search engines as much. I have used the Academic Search Premiere at our school's library. You can also access that at home. This site was super useful, because all of the results were fully reliable. And also, as for the citing, the site does the citing for you! Cool right? :]
As for the other video titled: Gastropods, Shaura started out telling her audience her dream. Then tying it down to what she wanted to talk about, slugs. I liked how she started out with a clever introduction to grab the audience's attention. Some of the speeches that I've done, it was usually hard to come up with a clever grabber. I should try with my 3 upcoming speeches though. Also, using the power point is another digital media that I'm going to be using for, at least, two of my speeches.
