Concepts

In preparing for the speech I felt that the most important concepts were organizational patterns as well as the different tactics that followed the different speeches. I think that having resources that allow you to prepare credibility, sources, and facts makes it easier to prove a point efficiently. I also thought that all of the information on the videos on maintaining eye contact as well as proper posture makes a lot of difference. Avoiding common phrases was a really good tip for preparing my speech. Also keeping in mind the different components of what a speech should have was really helpful for me. I ve never had to demonstrate, nor persuade anyone but having to understand what makes a good speech made me push myself as a writer and speaker. I think that of the many things that I learned, having to present and incorporate all the aspects have pushed me to not only improve my speaking skills, as well as learning to point out good aspects in different speakers. From what I learned in composing a good speech, I have found myself applying it to everyday life, especially when i have to validate a point. I think that learning about fact and the different types of credibility made me really try hard to incorporate those aspects into different speeches, or even simple dialogue.
