videos 15.1

Watching the video, I found that both used evidence to support their claims. They also validated their data by saying that they have researched the topics extensively. The persuasive speech for home schooling uses several statistical data to persuade the audience and show the increase in school violence. The video uses several examples as to why it a better choice and more of an advantage for the demands of the school system. Her statistical data also helps prove that children that are home schooled are more likely to get more on-on time, as well as the most amount spent at school. Her evidence makes her point seem more and more true. She seems to be using evidence and alto of statistical data to prove her perspective on school tactics. I think that the way that she used the evidence helped her point seem more valid. When a speaker does that, they are defiantly using good persuasive tactics in her speech.
The second persuasive speech does many of the same things against home schooling. I like how he used rhetorical questions that help add to his point. His form, as well as main points helps prove his point. His conclusion, I noticed was very strong and reassed his claim, further emphasizing that "home schooling" is not the answer. I do think that both did an exceptional job in proving their points effectively.
