video 7.1: narratives, definitions, examples, facts and statistics, testimony
video 7.2: media (credibility, relevance, reliability), books, newspapers
video 8.1: organization: chronological, spatial, topical, narrative, cause-and-effect, problem-solution, monroe's motivated sequence
video 8.2: transitioning correctly: ordering, reinforcing, contrasting, chronology, causality, summarizing.
Because the first three videos were review from previous things we have discussed, the fourth was the one I found most helpful. It is hard for my to think of a transition as an important part of a speech because of the way I was taught to write essays and speeches, with the introduction sentence of a paragraph being the transition between the previous and coming points. This video will really help me with my next speech and making transitions clearer and more varied, so I am not just using the same type over and over.
hooray!

Theta!
sounds like you are going to have some great transitions next speech. I will be judging you on your transitions!!! I had no idea that transitions could be some important. They seem so simple and insignificant. But, turns out, we do get graded on our transitions. I am going to try 2 new transitions in my next speech. I am finding that there is so much information gettin thrown at me that I dont know how to use all of it. I will try everything once and see what works best for me. I feel like I have just started public speaking and now I am waist deep in it and dont know how to handle it. I have looked at a few other speeches online to see what they do well, and what they bomb. it might be helpful. The more you see something, the more you know what to do. Good luck!
