Interactive Videos 9.1-13.1

In the first clip 9.1 I learned that attention getters are really important and should be well thought out, unique, and appealing to the audience. Humor is a good way to get peoples attention, but for some reason in speeches it may come across a little corny. In the second clip 9.2 I got the idea to use a concluding story that goes along with your topic, like how the girl used the tragic story about the accident that happened to someone who was talking on a cell phone and driving at the same time. The third clip 13.1A reminded me to use clear transitions and to clearly separate your 3 main points. The speech in 13.1B gave me the idea to use various visuals so the audience is not bored with the same technique. This speech as well as the last one on 13.1 had good catchy endings, like how one girl said "say cheese" and took a picture of the class. Also, using comparisons help the audience understand your topic.
