Speech Buddy Interactive Videos: Schooling Pro/Con

Making a good argument is good for your speech. Arguments have four basic elements; thesis, claim, evidence, and reasoning. I learned that in the video Jessica looks very stern and has good vocalization. She is talking in a good pace. I have to support my thesis with a claim, evidence, and reasoning. I learned that you should clearly state your thesis when introducing your speech. The Hiker used statistics to claim his reasoning. He talks about how many hikers go off track and ruin trails. He then discussed how each person causes it. In the Schooling pro and con video, I learned a lot of things. In the pro video, she talks about how schooling at home is far better than going to school and that the school system is failing. It avoids the fighting in public schools. She talks about children coming home crying because of how bad school was for them. In the con video, He discusses how schooling in an actual public school benefits from being homeschooled. You get to be around a school environment, parents aren't qualified as teachers to be teaching their children, and that the home itself isn't effective for learning. What I learned from these videos are that they each state their arguments and have great reason to back them up.
