ch. 10 ch 12

so in chapter 10, i pretty much learned a lot of the same stuff i learned from watching the interactive videos. tips such as audience-centered language. the tips that were given were things like putting your language in context by mentioning the location, reffering to current events, and responding to what happens during the speech. all these topics are great to use in speeches because it gets the audience's attention real fast. something you can relate to and using current events does open up their eyes to connect with the speech. also using we, us, you and i will also get their attention because the presenter is referring to the audience or whoever and this catches their attention. in chapter 11, it talks about presentation media. in the book it explains why we use them. draw attention to your topic. illustrate an idea that cant be fully described by words alone. stimulate an emotional reaction. clarify a key point. support your argument with a graphical display of facts and firures. help your audience rememeber your main ideas. all of these reason's are the reasons i use a powerpoint presentation and it seems to work. Also in this chapter, shows you a lot more media presentation that can be used durring a speech.
