Progression of Speech
For my speech I decided to research the effects of marijuana and what it can do to the body. I have gone to the library in search of books that could possibly be useful. Hopefully I will be able to use power point to depict pictures about the effects on the body. I also want to gather statistical data that will be helpful in aiding my speech. I think that by detailing personal experiences and possibly emphasizing the negative effects both short term, and long term, people will maybe think twice the next time offered. It is a bit more difficult to find information for this speech. Hopefully by reading the chapter specifically tailored to the persuasive speech, I can gain helpful information to show my peers my point of view and hopefully sway them towards opinion. I want my main view to be the effects physically, the long term effects. and the over all down fall though there maybe positives for medical patients. This weekend I hope to accomplish a massive amount, with my conclusion and intro being strong. I have had a start by accumulating all the books but i still need to complie it and I have not decided to use powerpoint.

Hey Penny B, awesome job with prepping in the early stages before we get down to crunch time. I really like the fact that you are taking the time this early to go to your library and research. I know a lot of people (even me sometimes) dread going to the library to look for books because we feel that its too tedious or time consuming. So, I give you props for your efforts. I see that you have a clear progression on how and when you are going to develop the speech. I really think that even though these steps are small, you are making big strides in getting the retention of your topic. The more we expose ourselves to a topic in small chunks rather than one big chuck, the more we will remember. On the final speech, I think you'll be surprised to see how fluid and concise your speech is going to be. So, keep up the prep work and I hope everything's going smoothly!
