Speech Buddy: Ch.6
There was a lot of useful tips in the video 6.1. I learned that preparing for research is crucial to having good content for a speech. When I start researching for my topic, I should write out what I do know the topic and what I want to know about the topic. This I find very helpful because what I do know might be what someone else knows in the audience and what I don’t know they might not know either. This gives me a chance to look up what I want to know about the topic and hopefully it appeals to the audience as well. I also learned that gathering multiple perspectives is also key in gathering information. Having valid and different opinions help balance the speech.

I agree that it is good to have different opinions to balance out the speech. People all have different views and not everyone will agree with each other. I like your idea of researching on a certain thing you would like to know about your topic. In the past I would just always research on my topic and get all the normal facts but I also realize that I learn something interesting by researching, so I end up trying to look for more information. Even though we know a lot about our topic by researching we can cite our sources and be sure what we know is true and not false.
