Video 15.1
Both of the speakers provided good examples to support their idea. I learned how to look for the thesis, claims, evidence and reasoning. Each speaker stated their claim and then gave a sample of evidence ten backed with up with reasoning. Robert started that parents can’t teach their children as well as teachers because they don’t have the time or the credential. Then explained why they don’t have the time or the credential. Dixie backed up her claim of how schools are violence with example and a statistic. Dixie used a question to get the audience to picture their children in a violent environment to relate to the audience. Robert stated how people come from different schools of many backgrounds.

I totally agree the both speakers provided good examples and had thoroughly researched their topics. But I would have to say that Robert was the better speaker. His voice seemed to oscillate and show more emotion than Dixie. If I was on the fence on the topic of homeschooling I would have more likely been persuaded by Roberts’s speech just because of the way he presented. To be honest I found Dixie’s speech kind of boring even though it was well researched and had a lot of good points. In my opinion you can have bad data but is it is presented correct you can make anybody believe it.
ReplyDeleteHello Niko! How exactly are you going to use the ideas of thesis, claims, evidence and reasoning in your speech? Can you give me a concrete example? :)
