Speech Buddy: Review the following Interactive Videos, 15.1, "Schooling: Pro" and "Schooling: Con"
In video 15.1 I learned some integral elements that go into a argumentative speech. It reinforced my correct use of a thesis, claims, evidence and reasoning. I needed also to hear the language and verbiage that was used during this speech so I could use the correct terms when presenting my speech. “Schooling Pro” was an excellent speech, she identified with the audience using children as the common thread. Everyone could relate to wanting children to be safe. She used a pro and con argument and let the audience decide what they would rather have there child experience during their education. Her appeal was based on logos, but also I think some Pathos because it appealed to the emotions of parents. “Schooling Con,” was also a well argued speech. His claims were well thought out and had plenty of supporting materials; he cited books and studies as his evidence so that the audience knew he researched his speech thoroughly. He used Logos in his appeal and stated facts and statistics. These speeches helped me feel more prepared for my upcoming presentation.

I also felt like watching these speeches have helped me with the way I plan to present my speech. It was nice to see successful examples of the way the persuasive speeches were verbalized. Because these were persuasive speeches I was really captivated by how much emotion they put into their voices and how interested they were in their topics. It almost felt like the beginning stages of a debate. They were very well prepared for their speeches and made valid use of the different appeals. I was most persuaded by the logic used in the Schooling: Con speech because I am more familiar with the side. I do think that the Pro speech did a good job appealing to people’s emotions towards safety.
