After watching the Shaura’s video, I really like her introduction in which she talks about her nightmare, “surrounding by a huge terrestrial pulmonate gastropod,” to naturally introduce to her topic-slugs of speech to get audiences attention. Moreover, she selects the topic, which she is familiar and has known about. Overall, the content of speech is well organized in every detail about the slugs. Accordingly, I believe that she has done many researches to prepare the presentation.
In my opinion, there are two drawbacks in her speech that the power-point is insipid, and she doesn’t use any oral citation or references on the power-point to firm the valid information about the slug.
However, in the preparation process for my speech, I would like to access Internet resources because it is the fastest way to acquire a lot of information. To gather my speech material, first, I will select reliable websites, and then evaluate these materials by asking myself using critical questions, which are on page 117 in our text book.
I also thought it was quite nice that she started out with a dream. It was her story that sort of drew me in to the speech. It's similar to a hook in an english paper. You want to have something interesting that pulls the audience in. I also didn't care for her power points, but then again, I don't really like them in general. They seem to be a little to impersonable. I like to see my speaker, not the computer behind them. The internet is also a great tool for research. There are fountains of information out there just waiting to be found.
