Topics of Interest In Chapter 6
Two topics that I found interesting were search engines and the interviewing process. I liked that the Public Speaking book provided us with a list of search engines. I had no idea that there were search engines such as brainboost.com that allows users to do research based on questions asked. I found this particular search engine quite useful because when I type in a question in a search engine such as Google, I end up with nearly no results. Although I have never implemented an interview before, reading about the process made me want to try it. I felt like my speech would become a more positive and rewarding experience if I used an interviewee as one of my resources. I also felt like recording my interviewee would allow my audience to become more fascinated by my speech. Hopefully I will be able to find an appropriate interviewee for all my speeches. :)

I found those two topics interesting as well. This book is pretty cool. Each chapter is set for students to gain knowledge of public speaking. I also like the idea that chapter 6 provides search engines for us. It is very helpful. I wouldn’t have known these search engines existed if it weren’t for this book. I agree that Google and Yahoo do not help answer questions as resourceful as brainboost.com. I haven't checked out the other sites, but this one works really well. I have to take a look at the rest later on in the week. Good luck with your interview!
ReplyDeleteHi Piper! I would love it if you could find qualified people to interview for your speeches. This is a great way to find our firsthand information about topics. Besides considering interviews, what types of resources are you planning on using for this coming speech?
