Week Ten Videos

Today we looked at using verbal techniques to make speeches more interesting.

Compare the two videos below.

In the first video he has the following physical traits:
  • rubs his head
  • puts his hands in his pockets
  • touches the table
  • looks at the paper
  • doesn't make eye contact


In the second video, as well as correcting the physical traits, he also:
  • uses rhetorical questions to open and end the speech
  • uses an anecdote to support his opinion
Anecdotes are really useful to support your opinion when it isn't based on fact. They show why you think that way.
