The speech buddy videos for chapter six taught me how to make my research solid. "In order to make sure that your research is solid you must determine what you know and do not know about the topic, gather information that covers multiple perspectives, and evaluate the sources you use for validity." It also referred to the library as the place to go to find sources. I find that making my research solid is important because it means that I am feeding the correct information to my audience. Also, knowing that I have the right information will make me feel more comfortable while I am giving my speeches. I don't exactly enjoy going to the library but it is useful because there are newspapers, journals, books, articles, encyclopedias, etc. that I can use to help write my speeches. In the preparation process I will be going to the library to find sources that make my speeches successful. I will also be reviewing my sources to make sure that they cover multiple perspectives (in order to get all sides of the story) and I try to evaluate the validity of the websites or books I am using.
In the 6.1 use it video, I noticed that although she stumbled on her words, she kept talking like nothing was wrong. This is definitely something that I plan on doing. I am not expecting the perfect speech but I know that in order to have a strong finish to my speech, I must not get nervous. The best thing that I can do is continue talking like I had made an error.

Hey Colie.
ReplyDelete[this isn't regarding your post]
But I made a mistake and posted my second recent blog within 21 hours, because I wrote it ahead of time.
Carol had emailed me informing me about it.
I noticed that you commented on it.
I'm going to delete the whole blog, so just in case when you get the chance you can go ahead and comment it over again.
here's what you wrote:
Hello :)
I find myself limiting my research to Goodle and Yahoo! search as well. Although I sometimes use the library, I tend to be lazy and surf the internet as well. I have found that going to the library actually helps because there is so much information there that is published online as well but it is difficult to find.
From watching Gastropods, I noticed that Shaura used an interesting introduction as well. I also paid very close attention to her hand gestures and facial expressions. I find that clever attention grabbers and gestures keep the audience interested and wanting more.
Good Luck!
Sorry about that! :]
