Discussion Week 8 topic 2
In this chapter, I thought there were several helpful topics to incorporate in the aid of public speaking. Basiclly this chapter was about the organization and outlining of the speech. One of my favorite patterns of speech is the cause and effect pattern. This pattern is "the idea of one action leading to or bring about another." The reason I like this pattern is because I think this is the most easy way to inform an audience about something because it is an easy pattern to follow. Although we have learned about transitions between main points, again it was brought up in this chapter and I think it is very helpful to keep listeners aware of what you are talking about and it makes them look forward or become more attentive to your next topic. Overall this chapter was helpful in the fact that I know how to effectively organize my speech which will make it easier for me to talk in front of my audience.

ReplyDeleteAfter reading that, I must say that I agree to a point. I think it is very true that once you present an issue or a problem, you can define the meaning or importance of it by defining what effects it has after wards. I have to say that when you mentioned transitions, I actually did not think about actually implementing it into my speech. I believe that may have created a sort of confusion when my main points had begun to switch.
I think the more we read into certain speech ideas, the more we learn from our first speech. After effective criticisms, I think that you and I can further improve our overall grade by implementing more of everything included in the speech buddy videos.
