· Speech Buddy: Review the following Interactive Videos 15.1, “Schooling: Pro” and “Schooling: Con” on the Interactive Video Website. Respond to the ideas in the videos. What did you learn that could be helpful in your speech? What types of appeals were used? How did the speaker connect with the audience?

schooling: pro video: I thought this was the first video that had a positive example of how to establish credibility in your speech. She said that she had done extensive research, which instantly gives her credibility above those listening to the speech. She used emotional appeals to get her point across, by using the aspects such as violence to prove her point. This emotional appeal instantly connects the speaker with the audience.

schooling: con video: He connects with his audience by mentioning the diversity of backgrounds found in public school systems. He demonstrates that he sees the positive aspects of public schooling first-hand. He also deals with the ideas of teacher credentials, as well as the rolls of parents in making schooling situations more stressful as opposed to not.
