We've started persuasive speaking with a small first round in each class.
In Wednesday's class, Zach made the effort to convince us that Southpark is more than just a gross and annoying adult cartoon but that it was satire with a positive impact on society. Scott wanted us to commit to recycling and showed some images of a messy earth. Veronica had some powerful stories about Kentucky Fried Chicken's abuse of poultry as well as their poor nutrition and Andrea chose to attack powerdrinks, a topic very well related to her audience.
In Thursday's class, one student went to the trouble of making her own costume, a t-shirt celebrating the Haight, a major gay meeting area in San Francisco. Her passionate speech focused on the rights of gay people to marry. Abby spoke from the heart about the problem of teens and adults drinking and driving and convinced us to take the keys from friends who drink. Calvin spoke with passion about why we should support the death penalty. We had two make up informative speeches as well. Kelly spoke with humor and personal creditility about the ranching life in Oregon. Chloe gave us an overview of ball handling in basketball and had her live visual aid show us some moves.
