Discussion Question 2


2)   Watch all Speech Buddy videos that are related to Chapter 6.  Respond to the videos.   What did you learn that was helpful? What information from these videos will you use in the preparation process for your speeches in this course?

The video with the women giving a speech on Gastropods was, in my opinion, very well prepared for. The speaker clearly was well versed on the biology and anatomy of the Gastropods. Obviously, she invested a great deal of time preparing for the speech.  Therefore, seeming confident and comfortable with the subject matter.
The Managing the Research Process video highlights some valuable tools and processes one can implement in preparation for a speech. The video states “doing sound research is a crucial step in the speech making process” this step is clearly one the most important, as demonstrated by the Gastropod speech.  Completing sound research will give the speaker the confidence and knowledge to be perceived by the audience as creditable on their topic. Which ultimately could make or break ones speech.

  1. Hi Sambo!

    I loved the "Terrestrial Pulmonate Gastropods speech!" For one thing, I totally geek out over scientific names like that, and I thought it was very clever of Shaura to incorporate the fancy term for slugs into her speech. I also thought she did a great job of presenting her topic, which was obviously the product of thorough research. I enjoyed the wit that she put into the speech as well; it made me think that she was very clever and well spoken, and probably a fun person to have dialogue with. I got more out of watching her speech than the other videos for chapter six.

    Have a great weekend!
