In the 15.1 video I learned about how to identify the elements of arguments, which can be helpful towards our speech. There is four basic elements when it comes to this which are: thesis, claim, evidence, & reasoning. The types of appeal the speaker used was to relate the material to the audience, and to link the claim to the evidence.
In the "Schooling: Pro" video I learned about the pros of home schooling. I learned that it can be more flexible, it avoids violence, and that it brings strong relationships, which these types of points would be of interest towards the audience. In the video "Schooling:Con" the speaker is telling us the cons of home schooling. He explains that parents aren't as effective as real teachers, that are home isn't a great environment of learning, and parental involvement. The speaker appeals the audience with his main points by giving us a visualization of his words. Both speakers in the "Schooling" video tried to connect the audience by letting us picture everything now and in the future.

ReplyDeleteIn 15.1 I learned about the elements of arguments as well. I think that it is very important to link your claim, evidence, and reasoning together. You must have evidence in order to back up your claim. Also by doing this, your audience will know that you have actually done research on the topic and you are not just making a statement upon your beliefs. In the Schooling: Pro and Schooling: Con videos, I thought that both speakers presented their information well. I agree with you when you say that they both tried to connect to the audience by letting us picture everything now and in the future. I think that making your audience visualize the future helps a lot when you are trying to persuade the audience.
ReplyDeleteIt is really good that the Speech Buddies Videos tell and shows viewers what the elements of arguments are so that we know how to prepare such a great speech to persuade the audience. Evidence, I think, is the most important to have in a speech, just as you said to back up your claim. I agree that it shows the audience the research has actually been done and not basing it on beliefs. I also agree that both speakers presented their information well and did a great job in connecting with the audience by having them use visualization for persuasion.
ReplyDeleteHello Haightetak! You mentioned the four basic elements of an argument. How are you going to apply these ideas to your speech specifically? Give me a concrete example please. :)
