Chapter 6 Video

The two main topics I got out of the videos were research and speech tips. I learned that there are so many different types of ways to research a topic on the web rather than your typical search engines such as google and lycos. Also, there are ways to search information based on questions you have. That is very helpful because asking questions is a lot more specific than just simply typing in a phrase and hoping to get the right results. I loved how in the video Gastropods, the speaker started out with a dream and then went right along into the speech. I think that it is important to have a unique opener that will draw your reader in because a big objective of speaking is to keep your audience engaged. I have already thought of a great opener for our first speech and hope that it will grab my class' attention.
