Week 8: Discussion Question 1

The videos that were assigned to watch were helpful and informative. The videos for chapter nine informed on what aspects need to go into an introduction and a conclusion. I won't go into detail as to what they are comprised of though because that would be taking from this week's second discussion question. The videos pertaining to chapter thirteen were informative speeches on techno music, camera technology and what the word "kosher" means. Evans speech on techno was precise, short and quite informative. I liked how he mentioned the history of techno; it's a good supplement to include historical facts. However, it can't exactly always be done so smoothly. For example, my informative speech is on cell division. The history for that would be a bit awkward because not everyone agrees with evolution or creation. Some things can get complicated and confusing with history. Anyway, the speeches on the camera revolution and the specificity of kosher were...nice? Alright, they were boring, yet informative. It's impossible for everyone to be interested in one topic so I suppose those just happened to be dull ones for me. They presented their information well though. What I learned that could be applied to my upcoming speech is to try to make my topic as appealing, interesting and exciting for the whole class. That will be easy because everyone just loves science at the cellular level!
