I always enjoy these videos. They are a real inspiration. Even though I feel much better at public speaking, the people you see in these videos certainly have a knack for it.
As far as the topic goes, I'm not a fan of home schooling. Even though I know many that have been home school, I think public school was the right choice for my kids. but, that's not what the assignment was about. My observations were that they really did well on delivering the preview of main points. This made it especially easy for me to follow their message. The funny thing is, it looks like they both wore the same sweater. The girl was a little too dramatic when she said something to the effect about "not coming home alive" from public school". This overly dramatic comment can almost turn a listener off. I think speakers have to be careful about that. They both seemed to have practiced their speeches a lot. This really showed. They were both smooth and incorporated their research into their speech very well. Neither of them used power point though.So, it''l be different to see how we can all do that with our upcoming speeches. One other quality of note was they both used good eye contact. That is one area I need to work on and now having seen it, I think I have a good idea on how to do it.
F.D.
