Week 4, Question 3

I like that the book mentioned the 'Classroom Audience', because that is what we are.  In that section, it was very accurate in mentioning that we surely have an advantage.  We will know one another just a little more than if we were speaking to some random audience filled of people whom we had no idea about.  With that being said, I like how it also mentioned to still take into consideration the listening skills from chapter 3 and still adapting your speech.  Though we will be speaking to the same audience the entire semester, we need to utilize in depth listening each time as we are learning something new about each individual with each class meeting and speech.  First we met each other, then we learned a little about what each person felt important about their culture and up next we will learn a little about something they know how to do.  With all of this information, we can use more and more each time to better ourselves in our speeches just by listening to what others appreciate and enjoy.  Who and what they are about, so we can keep them lively and entertained in our short time with the class.
