Week 3, Question 2
In watching the speech buddy videos the consistent theme seemed to be researching the information behind your speech and the end result will be a much smoother process. This, for me, has been and will probably continue to be, a hard part for me to incorporate into my speeches for this class. I am not sure why. In my mind, the topics I want to talk about just do not go along with research, at least not hand in hand anyway, not black and white. I liked watching Dory speak and reading the question to the side of the video.. which said now contemplate what you would research and include as research in her speech about her family. That hit home for me because in the last class meeting when the professor asked for our topics and said we had to include the 4 sources, my mind was blank. I had a million topics I could speak on, but none that were re-searchable in my mind. After a small chat with her after class she explained to me some 'out of the box' ideas that really relieved my anxiety and as I was watching Dory I was thinking to myself the out of the box possible research (culture, religion, ethnicity as it related to parent care, etc.). These videos were good to watch as I am preparing for our next speech

Thank you for sharing your conversation with our instructor that gives me a short cut for researching my topic. I am, also, worried how to find the four sources for my topic-rice dumpling. The idea of “out of the box” is very helpful because as our text and the learning video just teach us gathering information from the Internet and libraries. But we ignore some of resources that are surrounding in our life. As the example of Dory’s speech, her resource was from her family members. When I watched this video, I don’t notice the theory until you mention the, “out of the box” in your post. I think I definitely know how to prepare my topic’s outline for next week. Thanks again.
