I learned a few things in watching this week’s speech buddy videos. Video 7.1 was on the use of supporting material. I found this useful because I learned that you should use different types of supporting materials for different types of speeches and what you want to accomplish with them and you should use multiple types in each speech. In video 7.2 Evan discusses how important it is to choose media sources, and he listed some of the types of media that can be used. He also stated that books are generally more reliable because of the multiple authors that work on them and the review that they go over before the books are published. Video 8.1 goes over the different patterns of organizations for a speech. I did not know that there were so many! This helped me because when Carol stated that we should use the topical pattern for our speech, I wasn’t really sure what this meant. This video, along with the book helped clarify that for me, and also showed the different types of patterns that I could use for other speeches. Video 8.2 described the ways to link your main points in a speech. I always seem to have a problem doing this smoothly in my speeches and this video showed me different words or phrases that I could use. All of these videos are helpful because they give you something to think about while writing your speech, which you may have missed otherwise.

I like how you pointed out that you use different supporting materials in different speeches. Another thing I found interesting, was how in the speech buddy video 7.2 Evan said that books were generally more reliable. While I agree that they usually are, can’t anyone write a book? From what I understand, any person can publish a book and put whatever information they want inside of it. On the other hand, books usually have a list of the author’s credibility, so it is easy to distinguish if the book is a good source or not. I too did not know how many organizations of patterns there were for speeches! I find myself using the same one, but now have many options to choose what fits my speech best.
