March 8-14 Speech Buddy

As I watch 7.1, I learned that different types of supporting materials has their own advantages and disadvantages. For narratives, it is good to give a story but it can take away the main idea. Next was examples and it was interesting for me because examples help the audience to understand the meaning but sometimes it does not belong in the same group like how Erin explained in the video. I didn't know what testimony was until I saw the video and it was the way of showing credibility and provide different voices but it may be biased to another. As for facts and statistics, all of us used this which was for example, the powerpoint, to give an idea. After watching video 8, I also learned that there are patterns of organization. The first one was spatial and it gives a visual understanding of the topic. Next was the topical pattern and it explains how the elements come together. After was narrative and it helps the audience and the speaker to interact by participating. The cause-and-effect can be used for informative and persuasive which it might help for my next speech. Since the problem-solution pattern shows the problem and solve it to convince the audience, this would be very helpful for the persuasive speech that is coming up. Last but not least was transtitions: ordering, reinforcing, contrasting, chronology, causality, and summarizing. These transitions can be used as I make my outline and as I make my speech which it can also improve my speeches.
