Ch. 6-Speech Buddy Videos


When watching the Chapter 6 Speech Buddy videos, one method of research discussed caught my attention. I remembered using a source that maybe has long since been forgotten in our technology filled world. I know that I, along with many other college students go straight to the internet and online resources to find information on a research projects, we forget that we have a free live source available so easily to us. In the video the concept of conducting your research with the help of a librarian is explained, which may actually help me and perhaps my fellow classmates to take this approach when conducting research for their speeches.

            The speech on gastropods, which was an informative and persuasive speech on slugs, caught me off guard at first. I was thinking what the speaker possibly could want to inform and persuade their audience with. As the speech continued and the speaker addressed facts about slugs and their benefits to the environment, I began to think that any topic can form a well presented speech.

    That what I said that usually we go straight to the internet and online resources to find information on a research projects. But there are a lot of different possibilities to get information especially through the library. The library's website will provide links to books, academic journals, magazines, newspaper, government publications, reference material, and non-print resources. In the library we can ask to help us to find something, but it's sometimes really had to find the time to go to the library. In the video speech "terrestrial pulmonate gastropod" I found very interesting how the speaker involved me in her speech, how she attracted my attention. The speaker depicted intriguing introduction. She had very seductive voice and different tone. What was interesting for myself that this speaker was spoken her speech with a passion, she wanted to tell me something about the slugs and she provided a very extended information about them. She did a huge research to prepare her topic and her speech was very cognitive. I found a lot of interesting facts about the slugs and after her speech I wanted to read about the slugs and to get more information or just to check her facts how true they are. Also the speaker had a very good eyes contact with audience what is very important, she was very persuasive. You are right, if she prepared the topic about the slugs, we can prepare any topic and catch the attention of everybody, all things are possible.
