Speech Buddies Videos
After watching the videos, I learned numerous things that could be helpful in preparing a speech. In 7.1, Erin talks about different types of supporting materials and even gives examples. The types she listed were narratives, definitions, testimony, facts and statistics. In 7.2, Evan gives examples of popular media to help support a speech such as newspapers, magazines, and internet. You have to find out how reliable these resources are and their credibility along with their relevance to the audience. In 8.1, Anthony tells you how about patterns of organization. These patterns of organizations are chronological (developing or occurring over time), spatial (physical relationship between objects), topical (breaks down a topic into elements), narrative (relative events), cause and effect (how a particular action produces a particular outcome), and problem-solution (identify problem and how to solve it). Each pattern is for different types of speeches and knowing what the patterns mean can help better prepare you for your speech. In 8.2, Erin tells you about different transitions you can use. The different transitions are: ordering, reinforcing, contrasting, chronology, causality, and summarizing. You can use words to transition one point to another and the examples given in the video are very helpful so you know how to use them.

I also the learned the same things you have learned from watching the speech buddy videos! I thought as like as we found a source it would be all good, but we have to check its reliability before we can actually use it. By doing that the audience can trust us in what we are trying to achieve in a speech. I also learned about the various transitions that can be used in between the main points. We use transitions because it will help make the main points in the speech become clearer and also that it will help with the flow of words.

I learned the same things that you and haightetak learned from the speech buddy videos. I never knew that there were seven different types of outlines! I think that it is very important that you find media that has correct facts in order to give a speech because you don't want to give your audience false information. I also found it interesting that there were six different types of transitions that you can use in speeches. Transitions were always tough for me to write but now I know how to use them effectively in my speeches! These videos are definitely helpful in teaching me ways to improve my speech and I hope they were useful for you too!
