Concepts in Chapter 7 & 8
A concept I found useful or interesting in the chapters was that the main points should be balanced throughout the speech. When organizing the body of our speech, the main points should be balanced, relevant, and clear. The main points do not have to be exactly equal, but proportionate to each other so that one point does not have more information than the other. I think that is a very useful thing to know because most people tend to give out more information on one point, then barely give any information on other points. I also learned that labeling our introduction, conclusions, and transitions can be very useful when formatting our complete-sentence outline. Organizing your speech can make or break your presentation because organizing your speech can help provide a clear message towards the audience.

Greetings Haightetak:: I’m glad you mentioned the concept of main points. One of my difficult parts of my first speech was having connecting main points. I had several points to start with, yet none of them seem to connect at first. I find this concept to be very useful for my next speech because the idea of having connected points yet not equal gives perfect insight on dissecting which points would be admissible. As you stated in the above post, many people tend to over compensate for one point, did you have this same problem with speech one? I look forward to speech two from you… Good Luck!
