April 26 - May 2 Disc. 1

As I watch the pros and cons of home schooling, I found that both of these speeches had the same structure. Both followed the outline which I found interesting because it was very organized. Both also had support and details with facts and statistics to support the main points and their opinion on home schooling. Furthermore, both had a good introduction to start off with and a good conclusion to conclude their speech. They also did a lot of eye contacts and their gestures and they way they speak was unique in a way that they were trying to persuade the audience that their idea is correct. In my opinion, I would agree with the cons in public schooling although the pros of home schooling was so amazing that Dixie took the bad ideas of home schooling and turned it around. That reminds me about one of the concept that was discussed in chapter 14. The types of appeals that both were using were logos and a little bit of mythos. It was mostly logos since most of their main points were proven through facts and statistics from their research.

  1. Hey.
    I have to agree with you that both speeches were using mostly logos and a little bit of mythos since both speeches used facts and statistics as their evidence. But I have to disagree with you about the whole home schooling, because I feel like home schooling takes away from kids people skills that they need to start building up that they will use later in life. I think that kids shouldn’t be able to choose if they get home schooled or not because all kids are afraid to meet new people but its public school or any interactive school that breaks kids out of their comfort zone.
