Week 13 Post 3
In the speech buddy video 15.1, it covered the four parts in arguments which are the thesis, claim, evidence and reasoning. Your thesis is always supposed to support your claim, evidence and reasoning. All of this information is review to me, and been the guidelines for speeches and essays for many years. It was nice to see it pinpointed directly in the introduction of a speech though. The speakers in the video had all of those main four points and were all clear. In the schooling pro video, the speaker was very relaxed. She seemed to have been practicing, only looking down at her note cards when needed. She gave many examples, and referenced them properly. Her voice is soft, but seemed like her tone and volume was on key. In the last video, schooling con, the first thing I noticed was his voice. It was very lively, and did not come off boring. His volume was nice and loud as well. He looked at his note cards more than the last speaker, but still made good eye contact with the audience. One thing to me that was distracting was his hand movement, but it wasn't over dramatic.

I definitely agree about the two speeches. The girl did a great job not looking down to much. She had a great tone and used expression when needed which was the perfect balance. The guy also did a very good job but he did move around a lot. Not moving too much is very important because otherwise it is very likely that you may be distracting your audience. The four parts of organization have also been very clear to me just because it has always been an important part of the essay organization in classes for me. Overall I agree with you that the video covered all the important things and were very helpful.
