5. The Lack of Creative Innovation in Education,
Combined with the Amount of Attention Paid
to Specific Needs of Individual Students Has
Led to an Academic Structure that Conditions

12. “I, Kent Larson, engage my audience
immediately by relating to the past. I
then keep them engaged by showing
slides and taking them on a virtual
tour around the world. I am dynamic
in my own way, but the emphasis in
my demonstration comes from my
slides and so I only rank a 3 on the Full
Sail Speech-a-Ranking system. Next
time, maybe I’ll try speaking directly
to the audience more, and focus less
on the slides to be more dynamic!”

speech, as they both make the audience laugh and both add elements of storytelling to
their speeches as a way to engage the audience.” – Chadrick Baker*

17. The entirety of this document has been a mash-
upcomparison of both speakers. I start off being matter
of fact and demonstrative (Larson), and then went into
humor and storytelling (Robinson), utilizing both
techniques to emphasize what works in keeping
interest and what doesn’t… for me.
