Videos:
Although we have already learned how to use and implement introductions and conclusions, I found the chapter 9 videos helpful because they brought up things that I never really considered when composing these key speech elements. Using humor in your intro seems like a no-brainer, but it is a better idea than you would think to set the tone and mood for the speech. Also, I found it helpful that the speaker said to keep your conclusion positive, because at the end your viewer should feel positive about the speech and about you as the speaker, even if they weren't persuaded by your speech. I think it would have been benificial to have seen these videos before the first speech we gave. They are such key parts of speeches, they shouldn't have been this far in the semester! ahhh! :D

I cant wait to see the videos. I havent had the opportunity to spend time and watch them but based upon your blog I do feel that they are going to be very effective. I also think that the couple of tips given on your blog can be very helpful when opening and closing a speech. Everyone enjoys humor and what better way to engage the listenrs than by providing some comic relief. I think that ending the speech should be positive and strong. I want to take this into account for my speech to ensure that I not only end posivite be feel good about my speech.
Theta!
the videos were great. I wish I could speak like the guy who talked about techno. How is your speech coming? Like you, I plan to use the videos to help me with the next speech and implement the new techniques. keeping the conclusion positive is a great idea because you should always end on a positive note. Good luck with your speech!
