musings for speech 111

P and P of persuasive speech #2

My original idea for this assignment was to research and present the flip side of my helmet law speech, however, I decided to persuade everyone the importance of having a disaster plan, supplies, and knowing what disasters may present in our area. As I was researching, the virginia tech massacre took place. This immediately helped reinforce the importance of my speech ideas, especially communications, and awareness of surroundings. I must admit the ideas of speaking in front of a camera is not near as intimidating now as the first time was. Seems like we had about 20 tries on that first one, before we decided it was presentable. And to think, probably no one but the instructor ever viewed it. These last 2 speeches only required 3 tries for the first one and 1 try for the last one. I think this points out that the class was successful in getting us in front of the camera and feeling comfortable.
