discussion 8.3
During required reading this week I found chapter 8 the most helpful when developing a speech. I found that the part of transitions is the most useful because this is an area that I need help. They gave the six different types, which are ordering, reinforcing, contrasting, chonology, causality, and summarizing. It gave the words for phrases that could be used for each of those types. The chapter also addressed on when each transition is appropriate, and when not. It explained what transititons are best for the first main points, and those best for between main points. Overall I found chapter eight the most interesting, and useful.

Hello,
ReplyDeleteI found chapter eight very useful for speech development as well. I also found chapter seven very useful and important too. I felt like I could use a lot of this information from the chapters when doing my outline and speech coming up. I also picked out the concept of transitions out of the chapter as being very useful. Transitions are a bit of a problem for me in essays so I am definitely cautious and try to retain as much useful information about them as possible so I can not have difficulties with them in my speeches. All in all I found the chapters very helpful and will use the information in my future speeches and outlines and hope you will too.
