5. TEXTING IS NOT WRITING AT
ALL..?!
That’s a ludicrous statement. It draws in the audience by make
you think and ask questions.
6. GAINING OUR ATTENTION AND
KEEPING IT
Humor and short stories with examples that tie in great with the
topic.
Historical reference with relevance.
7. John felt free to comment on other
speakers' talks he talked about Lincoln and
the Gettysburg address.
8. COMMANDMENT #5
John makes use of past works as examples and comparison to
events now used commandment number 7 very well.
9. DYNAMISM
John McWhorter on the dynamism scale would get a 3 because of
his lack of enthusiasm while speaking on the subject. He could
used a little more humor to connect with the audience. At times he
lost my interest and that’s not good you want to keep the
audience engaged.
10. USE OF STEP 2 BASED ON
DUARTE
He’s spreading and idea I learned to look at the idea of texting in
a whole new light.
I give McWhorter for that.
11. DELIVERY METHODS
Precision
Clear/crisp voice
Knowledge on the subject or all needed to deliver an exceptional
speech to an audience.
12. COMPARE/CONTRAST
Ken Robinson John Mcwhorter
Funny and engaging.
Uses a lot of imagery and
story telling to create
prespective.
Uses humor but not as
heavily as Ken
Linguist so is educated on
the subject from a up-close
perspective.
13. TIPS
Remember to engage the audience
Be knowledgeable on the subject
Use great verbal and nonverbal gestures.
14. SPEAKING LIKE YOU WRITE OR
WRITING LIKE YOU SPEAK
There is a difference between the two one is formal and the other
id casual.
Texting gives us the ability to write like we speak which was
impossible until the emergence of handheld technology.
