Week 15, Question 2

If I had to choose one speech as a favorite, I would probably say it was the persuasive speech.  I enjoyed seeing the passion everyone had along with the media presentations.  It gave me an opportunity to see a more personal side of people as well as a little insight into their lives.  I also enjoyed how the class had different perspectives on things like the issues involving marijuana.  I thought the audience listened to both sides very well and I thought that both sides has very valid arguments.  I also really liked the presentations involving the drinking and driving.  The personal stories some of the students used in the speeches were really touching as well as educational and added greatly to the validity.  A close second was the tribute speech.  I really really liked those as well.  Though they were a less formal presentation, they were very enjoyable for me.  I have to admit I did cry a little, but that made it all that more enjoyable to me.  I am a sucker for an emotional story.  Great job everyone and I hope you have all learned a lot.  I have been glad to watch everyone improve so much.  I know there are so many who started this class wondering how on earth they would ever give a speech.  Well, now you have done it.. 5 times :) and we all did very well.
