Ch.6 Speech Buddies

The speech buddies did not seem to be too incredibly helpful this week.  There was only one short video that seemed to cover material on research speeches and it mostly reiterated what was already covered in the reading.  Just as far as speech presentation in general goes, the slug speech was somewhat fascinating.  Whether or not Shaura really is a slug enthusiast, she at least had fun with the speech and played the part well.  The media slides that she used were not very visible, however I could get an idea of how they could be utilized to better express what she was trying to say.  To someone that is nervous, it could also be an avenue to take the center of attention off of the speaker and put it towards the media.  Also, it gives the speaker something direct to be talking about which can also help decrease the nervousness.
