Examples

I found that in reading the section about different examples, I was able to use much of the information and gear it towards my informative speech. I feel that using personal examples, as well as specific examples, I can illustrate the meanining behind my speech. Examples also reaffirm certain facts. Examples are important in giving the audience valid information not only about personal experiences, but reinforce certain topics in the speakers speech. I also believe that facts and statistics help validate certain aspects of the speech. In using facts and statistics, speakers not only enhance their point, but show that the speakers validity in their speech. The use of facts help the presentation seem more credible but at the same time have to be accurate. Facts and statistics can be interpreted differently, and as a both a speaker and students, it is important to accept the interpretation as well as observations. This may include media . Students that use the media should probably use sources that are reliable, and don't express a bias. Using both media sources as well as Internet sites, I think its important to find resources that are representative of credibility. Using media that shows a certain bias gears the speech to a certain perspective. For example with issues that are more controversial, I think that it is important to use resources that are not biased but show an equal representation on both perspectives. Reading more about chapter 7 gave me a new perspective on what sources i can uses and how to choose sites that are reliable.
