Speech Buddy Ch. 9 and 13
After watching the speech buddies for chapter nine, I have a couple of good ideas for my introduction. I never really thought of using stats or a story for an introduction, and it is definitely something I think I will try for this speech! The second chapter nine speech was not as helpful, mainly because the video frame was constantly moving in and out and making me feel kind of ill. I could not even focus on what the speaker was saying. The chapter 13 videos were helpful, giving good examples of what an informative speech should sound like. They all flowed very well and fit a lot of information into five minutes. I like the second speech where the girl used the camera to start and end her speech; it definitely perked my interest and also added a good visual aid. I have never used any of the activities on the speech buddy website before. I found a couple of the questions useful, having to think about what her main points were, what the thesis statement was, and similar questions made me think about having to make my speech main points more clear for the audience.

I too enjoyed the video on camera's. She had a very catchy introduction and conclusion by using the camera. I for one, was hooked pretty quickly. I like how she clearly stated her main points in her introduction, and touched on them again in the conclusion. She really thought outside the box on that, and I for one enjoyed it. It makes me realize that there really is no set way to begin or end a speech, as long as it flows. I am trying to think of different ways to introduce our next speech. I am hopeful that everyone will have a catchy attention getter.
